( Helicopter blades whirring )
One minute out for POI.
- LZ's hot. - Roger that.
We're putting downa point of injury, middle of a firefight.
It means we get in, get out.
How long did it taketo get used to this, Grace?
Long time, Bobby. But you're doing good.
Just stay close. We got your back.
Pilot: Hang on back there.
It might get rocky.
( Sighs )
Mom?
Abraham.
Abraham!
Mom?
Levi, thank God.
- ( Sobbing )- I told them... hide.
Hide in the barn.
In the barn.
Hold this, okay? Hold tight.
I'll be right back. I'll be right back.
Woman: Okay, Grandma,
should we go overthis again?
I takethe Monday pillson Monday,
- the Tuesday pills on Tuesday... You know what I mean.
It's importantthat you know whateach of these do
so you don't haveanother heart attack.
I just neededa little jumpstart,
- that's all.- Next you'll be telling me you faked the whole thing
to get me to come homefrom Afghanistan.
- You're onto me.- Mm-hmm.
Why don't you go inand help your sisterwith her homework?
Oh, I already tried. She doesn't need my help.
I can hear you.
Well, maybeshe just missed me.
Not really. No.
( Chuckles )She's growing up.
We need to give herher space.
( Hoofbeats approaching )
- Elizabeth!- Grandma?
Grace?
- What is it?- It's Levi from next door.
- Levi.- Elizabeth.
My mother has been shot.
- ( Gasps )-She's with child.
Please, she needs help.
- Uh, Grace?- Here, here.
Call 9-1-1.Keep this door locked.
I can help.
Hurry, hurry. This way.
Up here.
No, no, no. He's gone.
Please. My mom!
I brought help.
Okay, I just need youto step back for me, okay?
Just step back. It's okay. It's okay.
Hi, ma'am. Hi.

Okay, I'm gonna takegood care of you and the baby.
I just need youto stay with me.
It's okay. It's all right.
I'm here. It's all right. It's all right.
We're gonna take good care of you.
Levi, the kinder...
Take them to my sister. They will be safe there.
I will, and then I'll come to bewith you and the babe.
Please, will I lose the babe?
Not on my watch, Mrs. Miller.
It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.
Albert? Sarah?
- Albert? - Is the bad man gone?
Yes, yes, he's gone. Come.
Are you hurt? Are you hurt?
Where's Dad and Mom?
Why did theynot come for us?
You're Grace,
Elizabeth'sgranddaughter.
Thank you.
This little pile of hayis my brother Albert,
and this ismy little sister Sarah.
It's nice to meet you.
( SpeakingPennsylvania German )
- Danke. - Danke.
I told themthat you're the onethat helped our mother.
They thank you.
You're... you're welcome.
Levi, can I give youa ride to your aunt's?
Yes.
I would be grateful.
Levi: Wait here, Albert.
- Levi?- Aunt Rose.
It's good to see you.
You have grown.
Claire's not with you?
A man came into our home.
He had a gun.
He killed Abraham.
And my sister?
Ma'am, I'm Grace. I'm a medic.
Claire's also been shot, but she's alive.
She's been taken byambulance to the hospital,
and they're focused onsaving her and the baby.
Baby?
- Henry.- Rose?
Is that Levi?
My sister has been shot.
- She was with child.- Oh, my God.
I would take itas a kindness
if you would care formy brother and sister
while I goto be with my mother.
Oh, of course.
It'll be goodto get to know them.
Your familywill be in our prayers.
Thank you.
You know, I don't...
I don't know that muchabout your, uh, community,
but I... I know whatit's like to lose someone, and I'm very sorry.
I will miss my stepfather.
Elizabeth told mehow your sister cameto live with her...
The car accidentthat took your parents.
Yeah.
It's good to have familyat these times.
You know, I haven'treally been back herethat much since.
I joined the Armyafter high school.
They put me through college
and I was on active duty by 22.
Do you not like it here?
No, I... no, I...
It's beautiful here.
I just thinkl never really felta connection.
I think your parentswould have beenvery proud of you.
Thank you.
We're here to seeClaire Miller.
- Are you Levi?- I am.
Hi, I'm Dr. Allen. I operated on your mother.
Her wounds were serious, but you got her here quickly.
- I'm expecting a full recovery.- And then the babe?
We had to doan emergency C-section.
He's under observationin the NICU upstairs.
My mother had a son?
Levi, I'm sorryfor your loss.
Thank you.
- Sheriff Newsome.- Grace Connor.
Oh, Elizabeth'sgranddaughter.
- Yeah.-Nice to meet you.
- This is Deputy Small.- Ma'am.
- You're Grace?- Yeah, that's right.
Claire askedto see you actually.
Uh, but I don'teven know her.
She was very specific... the Englisher named Grace.
Go ahead. We need to ask Levisome questions anyway.
This is all juststandard procedure, Levi.
Okay.
How're you feeling?
You are Elizabeth's Grace.
She speaks of you often.
My Abraham...
he is gone?
I'm so sorry.
It's gonna be okay.
Mrs. Miller, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Abraham was a good man.
Thank you.
I know it's hard right now,
but I need to find out who did this.
He was an Englisher.
He wore a mask and gloves.
Was he tall? Short?
I don't remember. It happened fast.
Do you knowwhy he would come afteryou and your husband?
He spoke aboutthe horse Abraham
sold at auction yesterday.
My husbandgave him all the money,
but he thought we had more.
He was very angry.
He pointed the gun at me.
I ran away.
And Abraham jumped.
- He tried... Abraham tried to protect you?
Why would a man do this?
Abraham would give anythingto someone in need.
They don't need a gun.
We're gonna getto the bottom of this.
Have you noticedanything unusual happeningat the Miller's?
- Anybody hanging around?- No.
But I've only beenback a few days.
I'm gonna swing byand talk to yourgrandmother and Becky.
Yeah.
You know, Sheriff, Claire said that that guy
knew about the moneyfrom the auction.
I mean, he wouldonly know about that
if he was fromaround here, right?
Yeah, we've hada couple robberies
in the Amishcommunity recently.
Well, the Amish, they don't fight back,
which makesthem vulnerable.
We've never hadanything like this.
Sheriff, I put the word outabout Owen Peterson.
- Nobody's seen him.- Owen Peterson?
He's a local boyconvicted of drug charges.
He gotreleased from prisona couple weeks ago.
Is he a suspect?
Right nowl just wanna talk to him.
So I'm finished?
For now, Levi. Thank you.
Thanks, Sheriff. Thank you.
So, your mother'sresting comfortably. She just fell asleep.
That's good.
I would like to seemy brother now.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
First timein an elevator?
Of course not. Our house has two.
Here he is.
You have five minutes, okay? Then I need to take him back.
Thank you, doctor.
Levi, this is Daniel.
Daniel.
Hello, Daniel.
Our mothergave you a fine name.
You will growto be a good man.
Grace: Grandma, I didn't realize
that you were so close to the Millers.
Well, as close asan Englisher can be.
The doctor mentionedthat they wereultraconservative
- even for Amish. - Mm.
Swartzentrubers.
They can't even marry other Amish.
They have to marry within their own sect.
Wow, that's so strict.
I remember when Leviwas a young boy
and I used to sharebooks with him.
He absolutely loved.
"Harold andthe Purple Crayon."
That was allowed?
Well, I thinkthat Claire knew
he had a moreinquisitive mind
than most boys his age.
Abraham, though, he didn't want Levi
to read anythingbut the Bible,
so he came over here one dayand told me to stop.
Becky: I saw some other members of their church
already at his house today.
Mmm.
They take great careof each other,
and I'm surethey're over therecooking and cleaning,
feeding the animals, watching the children.
No, we took the kids overto Claire's sister's house.
- Rose?- Mm-hmm.
And Claire knew about it?
It was her idea.
Claire hasn'tspoken to her sisterin over ten years.
They used to be so close,
and then Rosemarried outside the sect
and the family shunned her.
I couldn't imaginenever talking to you again.
( Knocking on door )
What're you doing? You scared me.
I just decided to havesome dessert outside,
watch the moon come up.
Becky, I really wishthat you wouldn't go outthis late at night,
not when there'sthat crazy guyrunning around.
It's a scary situation.
Do you ever get scared?
Yeah, every day.
Hey, look,
what happenedto the Miller familywas terrible,
and I knowthat you're worried,
but they're gonnacatch this guy
and they're gonnaput him away
so that he can't hurtanyone else.
But in the meantime, will you just promise methat you'll stay close
so that me and Grandmadon't have to keep worrying?
Are you going back?
You know what? It's late.
I think we shouldtalk about it...
I heard you guys talking.
I know it's timefor you to reenlist.
They gave mea little extra time becauseof Grandma's heart attack.
- So...- What're you gonna do?
Honey, they reallyneed me over there.
And we need you here.
( Horse whinnying )
Elizabeth, you know the Millersas well as anyone.
Had theytalked to you lately
about people making threats,
anything like that?
No, not at all.
But, you know, they're not much for talking.
Well, Levi's alibi checked out.
He was at the blacksmithwhen it happened.
You couldn't possiblythink that Levi...
No, but we haveto check everyone.
And speaking of which, is Becky home yet?
We'd liketo speak to her as wellif you don't mind.
She's still at school.
I'll have oneof my deputies swing byin the next day or so.
Whatever we can doto help, Sheriff.
Any luck tracking downthat Owen Peterson guy?
No, but I wantedto mention something.
It rained the night before the murder,
and we foundsome muddy footprints
which I believebelong to our killer.
Where?
In the fieldbehind your property.
We're constantlypatrolling that area,
but keep your doors locked.
Okay.
Did Becky say which friend
she was studying withafter school?
She's doinga project with Lilly.
She said she'dbe home for dinner.
All right.
Voicemail: Hi, it's Becky. Leave a message.
- I'll get back to you. - Hey, it's me.
Just wonderingif you're on your wayhome for dinner.
Give me a call.
( Whimpering )
( gasps )
Hey, buddy. Are you lost?
Now I know whyBecky's been sneakingfood out here, huh?
Whew. You scared me.
So, you've met.
Yeah, maybe we should call the shelter and, uh,
see if anyone'slooking for him.
Already did. He's officially homeless.
You missed dinner.
I left a couple of messages.
Yeah, I turned off my phoneso I could study.
Look, Becky, this is exactly whatl was talking about,
about stayingin close touch.
We didn't knowwhere you were.
I'm not a kid anymore, Grace.
I can take careof myself just finewhen you're not around.
Okay, but this is different.
There's a dangerous manrunning around,
and Grandmareally doesn't needanything else
- to worry about.- I'm sorry.
I didn't meanto make anybody worry.
( Horse whinnying )
Morning.
Whoa. You have a dog now.
Uh, apparently. No one's claimed him.
Ah. Animals knowwhen they're wanted.
This one will be happyto stay here for awhile.
( Iaughs )
How's your mother?
She and Danielcome home soon.
Ah, wonderful.
Well, I'll, uh... I'll come by and say hello
if that's okay, when they get settled.
I'd like that.
For my... for my mother.
Yeah.
I, uh, noticedthat your medical bag
was falling apart.
This shouldhold your thingsmore securely.
It has compartments within.
You made this, Levi?
From the woodof a maple tree.
- Abraham taught me.- It's beautiful.
I... I don't knowwhat to say.
Thank you.
For all thatyou've done for us...
this makes us even.
Even? I thought it was a gift.
No.
No, that... that wouldn't be proper
for me to give you a gift.
Right. Um, okay, then we're even.
Okay then.
A sad day, Levi.
At least Abrahamis no longer partof this sinful world.
But a man shouldlive long enough toraise his children.
Abraham would'vewished to do so.
It is your dutyto be a father
to the little ones nowand to help your mother.
A duty I willingly accept.
It would bea great comfort toyour mother, Levi,
if you were to select a good frau.
Most Amish men your agealready have a wifeand children.
My daughter Zillah knows what it takes
to run a Swartzentruberhousehold.
A sad day, Claire,
but Abraham is with God now.
Thank you, Zillah.
Levi, if thereis anything I can do
to help bring comfortto your family,
I hope thatyou'll call on me.
We have been blessedby many from the church
who have given their help.
And knowing yousince we were children
has been a blessing for me.
I must see to my mother.
Oh, please, let me.
- God's will.- God's will.
Hello, Levi.
Grace.
Hi, Claire.
Grandma sent thisfrom the family.
She said she wishesshe could be here herself,
but she wanted me to tell youhow sorry we are.
Thank you, Grace.
- ( Baby fussing )- Ooh.
He's not feeling well.
Really? Oh.What does the doctor say?
I have not spokento the doctor.
Would you come tomorrow
to see what is wrongwith my Daniel?
Absolutely. First thing in the morning.
It's time for us to begin.
There will beno English spokenhere today.
My mother and Ithank you for coming.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Grandma, what're you doing?
You're supposed to betaking it easy.
Well, this is my ideaof physical therapy, honey.
It does my heart goodto cook for you girls.
Uh-huh.
- Where's Becky?- Uh, she's out back
putting some boxes in her carfor a school project.
Hmm. She's reallybuckling down this year.
- I'm impressed.-Yeah.
She's volunteeringmore than ever at the church
with the, uh, prison ministry.
Prison ministry?
They write lettersto the inmatesto cheer 'em up.
Oh, nice. She's just got somecriminals as pen pals?
Don't worry. I spoke to Pastor Bruce.
It's kinda like community service.
Oh, breakfast bacon,
the most important baconof the day.
- Ooh.- I am gonna pretend I didn't see that.
Hey, Dusty likes bacon, too.
- Dusty?- Uh, yeah,
like what they call youwhen you're in Afghanistan...
Dust off flight medic.
He'll be likea reminder for us whenyou have to go back.
- I like it.- Dusty.
It's perfect.
( Baby crying )
We tried tinctureof fennel seed for colic,
but it didn't help.
Yeah, I'm not so surethis is colic.
Claire, after you feed Daniel, how do you hold him?
The same as all my babes.
I want to try something.
Come here. Hi, sweetie.
I know. I know. I know.
Shh. Shh. Shh.Shh. Shh. Shh.
Did either of youget any sleep last night?
( Iaughs )
Not much.
Why don't yougo get some rest?
I'll keep an eye on him.
Danke.
Shh. Shh. I know.
See, this is whatl love about babies.
The little guys only cryfor a reason.
Find the reason, you stop crying.
Wish the rest of the worldmade that much sense.
He's sleeping?
Shh.
I think I know what's going on.
And if I'm right, everybody around herewill be sleeping better.
We need to workon your brother'ssocial skills.
I stand corrected.
The women of our churchkeep us very well-fed.
I prefer the ones withthe little chocolate pieces.
Thank you.
So it must be nice havingyour aunt around here
- after so long?- Yes.
She's sweet.
Oh, it worksvery well, Levi.
I'm gonna be the envyof all the other medicswhen I go back.
So you're goingback to the war?
Yeah, I think so.
You know, they really need me over there.
But, hey, I'm happyto have made a friendwhile I was back.
We are not friends, Grace.
We can't be friends.
( Clears throat )
- Bishop Weaver. Good morning.-What are you doing here?
We will carefor this child.
You are not needed.
I think that'sfor Claire to decide.
He's sleeping.
Bishop Weaver.
Rose Fisher? You must go.
Our people will tendto Claire and this family.
She is Swartzentruber. You are not.
I am aware of whoand what I am.
I will seeAbraham's wife now.
My mother is sleeping.
This is the first restshe's had in days.
Levi, Abraham hasbeen gone ten days now.
You will tell your aunt
and this English womanto leave.
Rose has been a great helpin our time of need,
and Grace savedmy mother's life.
Tomorrow, I will sendmy daughter to live hereuntil your mother heals.
She knows what it takes to runa Swartzentruber household.
I will make lunchwhile I still can.
Thank you, Rose.
I know he's your bishop, but I don't like that guy.
It's hard to be sure,
but I'd say he doesn'tcare much for you, either.
Grace: Do you remember what was there?
Gosh, it's been so long, I don't...
Huh. Well, is anythingelse missing?
Do you thinkthis has anything to dowith the robberies
that the sheriffwas telling you about?
Didn't Grandpakeep a collectionof fishing lures there?
He always said those lureswould fetch a pretty penny.
That's so strange.
( Gasps )I remember what was there.
- What?- It was an antique mirror from my dresser.
It had those sweet little drawers underneath.
You remember, it wasin the house forever.
- Mm.- Grace, what is going on?
Why would somebody wantto take those things?
You know, I shouldcall the sheriff.
All right. Thank you, Sheriff. I will.
Bye-bye.
Well, they said thatthey'll send someone overa little bit later.
- Thanks.- Yeah.
So I have to head into town
to get a few thingsfor Claire.
You want to join me?
Do you thinkl'm afraid to stay alonein my own home, Grace?
No, of course not. I just thought you mightlike a change of scenery.
You are not fooling anybody.
But you just happento be right, too.
I am getting a bitof cabin fever.
Rose: I must go before I bring
more trouble to your family.
This is not my wish, Rose.
Nor mine, but your kinder miss you.
They will be happyto come home.
We will be very sadto see you go.
You've been a great help.
I will walk into townto call my Henry.
He'll come tomorrow.
I'm sorry we have no phone.
We have learned latelyit can be a blessing in need.
- God's will.- God's will.
I think I know whyClaire's baby's struggling.
Is that whywe're going to town?
Well, that, plus your cabin fever.
- So, how's Levi?- I don't understand.
You and Claire can be friends, but Levi and I can't.
He said that?
"We are not friends, Grace. We cannot be friends."
Well, that was noordinary basket he gave you.
So?
- Wait! Turn!- What is it?
Elizabeth: That's Becky's car.
Just wait here. I'll handle this.
Okay.
Hey, there.
- Hey.- Hey.
Something wrong, Deputy Small?
No, no. Just talkingwith Becky here.
Oh, okay, well, you mind telling mewhy you pulled her over?
Well, the sheriffasked me to talk to her
about what had happened overat your neighbors' placethe other night.
Okay, so you're just chatting
with her out herein the middle of the street,
embarrassing herin front of half the town?
It's all right.
I already told himl didn't see anything.
Okay, she said she didn'tsee anything.
Do you haveany more questions?
No. No, ma'am. We're all good.
You folks take care now.
You, too.
Hey, you okay?
I told you, I'm fine.
What did he ask you?
- I gotta go.- ( engine starts )
Becky.
It's called infantgastroesophageal reflux.
It's actually commonin preemies.
And what doesthis long word mean?
( Chuckles )
Just think of itas baby heartburn.
See, Daniel's littlethroat muscles aren'tdeveloped enough
to keep the stomach acid down.
That's why it's very importantthat after you feed him,
you hold him upright forat least 30 minutes, okay?
What about at nightwhen he needs to sleep?
Oh, that's what this is for.
It's calledan infant sleeping wedge.
It'll let Daniel liesafely at an angle
so that the stomach acidsdon't come up the wrong way.
You know all this, but you have no childrenof your own.
No, but four yearsof nursing school,
six years in the field,
the Army made surel was well-trained.
Remember, 30 minutes.
Elizabeth: Do you think this might have anything to do
with whoeverattacked the Millers?
Have you found that Peterson boy yet?
Let's not get aheadof ourselves, Elizabeth.
Try to make me a listof everything that's missing
and I'll get right on it.
Sheriff, I don't even knowwhat all is out here.
How am I gonna make a list?
Just do your bestas soon as you can.
- All right.- Appreciate it.
Oh, by the way, Deputy Small told mewhat happened in town.
You're right, it was neither the time
nor the placeto speak to your sister.
- It won't happen again.- Thank you.
Hi.
Oh, I'm so sorry about today.
I think I was just worried.
I'm sorry, too.
Um, what didthe sheriff say
about the stuffthat's missing?
Well, they're gonnalook into it, so...
( phone rings )
Sorry.
Is something wrong?
I just need totake care of something.
You want some help?
It's just school stuff.
Okay. Becky, wait.
Look, I don't know what happened
with the deputy today, whatever it was.
You know that youcan trust me, right,
no matter how long I'm gone?
And you go and dowhatever you need to do,
but wheneveryou're ready to talk, honey, I'm here, okay?
Okay.
( Sighs )
- Aunt Rose!- Levi.
Levi, hello!
Come, sit down.
Your lunch is ready.
I hope that you're hungry.
Thank you, Zillah.
How long will your parentsbe able to do without youat home, Zillah?
Oh, my father told meto stay for as long as I want.
Rose, my father told methat there's no reasonfor you to stay.
He says that you mustgo back to your own familyand your own church.
I return tomy family tomorrow.
My father says becauseyou are not Swartzentruber,
we should not be eating with you.
It was not a decisionmade easily, Zillah.
Uh, yes, but my fatherhas said that...
Perhaps you should notspeak so freely on mattersyou do not understand.
Let us pray.
Hey, there. Is Claire around?
She is busywith the babe.
Yeah, that's why I came by.
I just wanted to seehow the little guywas doing.
The babe is good.
I'm sorry, I don't thinkwe got to properly meet.
You were at the funeral, right? You're the bishop's daughter?
Yes, I am Zillah Weaver.
- I'm Grace.- Nice to meet you.
Your basket... where did you get it?
Levi made it for me. Isn't it nice?
I will carefor this family now.
You are not needed here.
( Door slams )
Levi?
Zillah.
So this is whereyou come to hide.
No, I was...
Is something wrong?
Everyone is asleep.
I wanted toshow you something.
Show me what?
Well, when my father told mel'd be living here,
my mother and I spent all day
sewing this beautifulnew nightdress.
- Zillah.- It's pink. Look.
Zillah, please.
Do you not want to see?
You should go.
I have waitedso long for you.
I wish for usto be husband and wife.
My father saysthat we can be marriedright away.
You should notsay such things.
Why not?
I do not love you, Zillah.
But, Levi, I could haveanyone in our church.
Any man would bevery happy to be with me.
Then you shouldchoose another.
It's that Englisher.
You have feelings for her, don't you?
There's nothing between us.
- Yes, you do.- No, please. Please go.
What is this?
Such things arenot allowed, Levi!
- They are only books.- They are of the world!
Yes.
Yes, they are, and I read them
because they fill mewith such ideas.
There are so manydifferent places,
so many differentkinds of people,
more than you couldever imagine.
Zillah, it would takeyour breath away.
My father will wantto know of this.
Do what you think is right. Now, please go.
Go!
I thought the barnwas on fire.
I almost calledthe fire department.
What are you doing?
You are an Englisher.
- You would not understand.- You know what?
You say that a lot, like it explains something.
A long time ago,
people used to look upat the night sky.
They would see shapesof strange creaturesand great men,
and they thoughtthey lived up there.
What do you think, Grace?
Is that possible?
I think they were myths.
Because we know better now.
In my church, we count our blessings.
Shouldn't knowledgebe a blessing, too?
Yeah. Is that what... is that what you believe?
I startedto read with Elizabethafter my father died
and my mother remarried.
She opened my eyesto a whole new world.
But for Abraham...
there could beno other world.
He was a good man...
Very strict.
And then Elizabethgave me my first book.
I ran hometo show my mother.
When Abraham saw it, he burned it.
He burned it?
- That's terrible.- He was protecting me.
- You love these books, Levi.- We have rules, Grace.
If I don't accept them,
I will bebanned by the church. I will be shunned.
Levi, let me keepthe books for you.
Give them to someonethat will love them.
- There they are!- Nana! Levi!
It will be goodfor your kinder
to be home againwhere they belong.
Claire: And for you to return to yours.
( Albert laughs )
Rose: Henry tells me that the cousins
played and worked well together.
- This is good.- Mm-hmm.
Who knowswhen they will seeeach other again?
It's okay.
( No audible dialogue )
Zillah, what is this?
I want to go home, too.
Already?
We can drop youon our way.
I cannot go with you.
Levi, will you drive me?
Your motheris feeling better?
Much better. Thank you.
Her sister is gone, hmm? And the Englisher?
You must seeto your family, Levi,
and not look to outsiders.
Perhaps he does nothave enough timeto take care of his family
because he's too busyreading his books.
Is this true?
I have no booksexcept the Bible.
I have seen them, Father.
He has them ina secret roomin the barn,
books and all sorts of things.
Levi, tell me the truth.
Did my daughtersee these things?
Yes, but I got rid of themafter Zillah reminded me
how wrong it wasto own such books.
You should knowright from wrong
without the helpof my daughter, Levi.
I am very sorry, Bishop.
You have confessed your sin
and rid yourselfof the evil things.
We will speak of it no more.
Thank you, Bishop.
Come along, Zillah. Your mother will be gladof your help.
Levi!
Was ist das?
A telephone?
- Is this yours?- Yes.
What are you doingwith this forbiddeninstrument on your person?
In case of an emergencylike the day my stepfatherwas killed.
Do you have so little faith
you think Godis not able to take careof such emergencies?
I prayed to Godthat day, Bishop. I prayed for my mother.
All I know is thatwithout Grace Conner,
I would have lost my motherand baby brother, too.
No. No, this is too much. You must repent!
I will expectyour confession beforethe congregation on Sunday,
and you will destroythis thing immediately.
( Cow lowing )
Excuse me? How did you getover here?
All right, you know what?
We will feed a stray dog, but you gotta go back.
- Sorry. Nothing personal.- ( lows )
That's a good girl.
You're doing very good.
Why do you have Jacob?
Jacob?
- Sarah named her.- A-ha.
Well, Miss Jacob herewas in my front yard.
I don't know, there must be a breakin the fence somewhere.
( Rainfall )
Let's get herinto the barn.
Come on.
- You take good care of her.- She is God's creature.
I hope she wasn'ttoo much trouble.
You know, until this man is caught,
you shouldn't be out alone.
Eh, I had a homesick cowin my yard.
Since you don't havea telephone, I didn'thave much of a choice.
( Thunder )
Grace?
Sorry. It was just the... the thunder.
It's, uh... whew.
- Is this from the war?- Yeah.
You know, mostly I'm fine.
Sometimes somethinglike that happens
or I'll have a nightmareor something.
And you stillwant to go back?
I know you don't understand.
I miss my family, but I miss my teamover there, too.
They really need me.
And you?
What do you need?
I save lives over there.
It turns outyou save lives here, too.
We probably shouldn'tbe like this, right?
Those are my words to say.
I guess.
( Gunshot )
That was a gunshot. Was that from the house?
Levi: Mom!
What happened? Are you all right?
We are not hurt, but only by the grace of God.
Although there's nowa hole in the kitchen floor.
- What?- Tell them, Albert.
I found it today.
Where did you find it, Albert?
I was climbingthe apple tree bythe back fence.
I looked downand saw it in the weeds.
- Did you think it was a toy?- No.
Then why did you bringthis thing that killsinto our home?
I wanted it in casethe bad man came back.
Aye.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay, so you staywith the gun.
I'm gonna go homeand call the sheriff.
I don't like youwalking alone in the storm.
I'm not leaving that gunwithout adult supervision,
and we can't askyour mom to oversee it,
so unlessyou're hiding a phone
somewhere in here, I gotta go.
Did the boysee anybody else aroundwhen he found it?
He said it wasjust lying there.
It's a .38,same caliber as the gun
that was used to kill Abraham Miller.
Three rounds have been fired.
Counting the onethat went off
in the kitchen tonight, that'd be right.
Can you check itfor prints?
We'll run a ballistics check,
but this gun has been downin a wet field
and now all these people have put their hands on it.
Deputy Small will drive thisover to Lexington to the lab
and we'll haveour boys check it out.
Thank you.
And, Grace, how aboutl give you a ride home?
That'd be great, thanks.
Grace: Thank you for the ride, Sheriff.
Oh, I wantedto show you somethingbefore you go, Grace.
Look familiar?
- Uh, no.- Owen Peterson,
that local boyl was telling you about.
He just got out of prisonand now he's vanished.
So you stillthink he did it?
I don't know for sure,
but if he wasn'tmixed up in something,
I think he would've turned up by now.
Well, obviously, his prints are in the system.
- If you get a match on the gun, then... Exactly.
Meantime, you see anybodywith this mug,
- you let me know.- Will do.
Hey, here, let me get that for you.
Oh, hey. Oh, thank you.
- There you go.- ( chuckles )
That's good, thanks.
- Looks like the sun finally decided to come out.- Yeah.
Something tells meyou weren't just here
to help me with my groceriesand chat about meteorology.
You got me.
You actuallysaved me a trip.
The sheriffasked me to come downand let you know
ballistics matchedon the gun found bythe Amish boy.
So it's the murder weapon.
They also pulleda partial print
off one of the bulletsin the chamber.
Did the sheriffmention anything to you
about this fellaOwen Peterson?
Did you find him?
No, but he's around.
How do you know?
Turns out he's beenwriting letters
to a bunch of folksdown at the church,
some kind of program for...
Yeah, the prison ministry.
- Yeah, that's the one.- Yeah, I know it.
Yeah, Peterson's beenwriting these letters,
talking abouthow he can't waitto have a fresh start.
This fella Peterson, if he is the killer,
good chance he's gonnastick around here
and try to getas much money togetherbefore he skips town.
Do you think thathe's the one that stolemy grandma's things?
Hard to say. Yeah, hard to say.
Well...
I'm cold.
Keep her warm, Albert. We'll be home soon.
There's the Conner's driveway.
You see? Almost there.
Hyah!
( Tires screeching )
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa.
Take the reins, Albert. Wait here.
Grace?
Grace.
I thought I heardyou moving around.
How you feeling, honey?
Mm. I'm okay, Grandma.
Grace, you gave usquite a scare last night.
Yeah, well, nothing's broken.
Just a few bumps and bruises. I'll be okay.
It was Levi's buggy, wasn't it?
He was takingSarah and Albert home.
He had the children with him?
It's okay. Nobody was hurt, thanks to you.
Oh, my...
I... I couldn't even see him.
Why doesn't hehave any reflectors?
Swartzentrubersdon't use them.
Believe it or not, they consider themtoo decorative.
Decor... that iscompletely ridiculous.
Well, you cantell him yourself.
Yeah, well, I will, next time I see him.
He's here.
He has been all night.
- Hey.- Grace.
You are well.
- Yeah.- That is good.
I will get the horses
and I will pull your carout of the ditch,
and then I will fix the fence.
That way the cows, they won't bother youanymore and...
How are Albert and Sarah?
They were frightened.
I'm sure. I'm so sorry.
- It's not your fault.- Levi, I don't understand.
Why don't you havereflectors on that thing?
You don't want to drive a caror have electricity, fine.
But reflectors?
You're puttingthose children in danger,
and I know how muchyou love them.
'Tis not my placeto question this.
I saw the carcoming last night.
It was coming so fast.
I knew that youcouldn't stop in time.
All that I could thinkabout wasdie kinder.
I'm questioning many things.
What is to becomeof us, Grace?
- What do you mean?- I...
I care for you so much.
But it would meanl leave the church.
No, Levi. I would neverlet you do that.
I would never let youchoose me over your family.
But you care for me.
Yes.
Now that we know this...
No, now that we know this, you need to go home, Levi,
and I need to re-enlistand go back to Afghanistan.
Good morning, Bishop.
Zillah.
I need to speakwith you, Levi.
You and Zillah are to be wedin two week's time.
What?
We makethe announcement on Sunday.
No, Bishop, I...
I do not want tomarry your daughter.
You should have thoughtof that before.
Before what?
She has alreadytold me what happened.
The two of you bundledone night she was here.
Bundled? That's not true. Zillah!
Tell him the truth.
Oh, Levi, pleasedon't abandon me now.
Not after all the thingsthat you said that night.
Bishop, your daughteris not telling the truth.
I know for a fact she speaks the truth.
You told me yourself.
You said your ridyourself of those books
after she came toyour room in the barn.
You cannot deny it.
She came to my roomin the barn, yes.
She wanted to, yes. But I never...
I will now allowmy daughter to be disgraced.
I have had my eye on youfor some time, Levi Troyer.
I have seenhow restless you are.
Do you think the churchwill take your wordover my daughter's?
I do not know whatthe church will believe,
but I know the truth,
and the truth isl did not do this!
You must pray, Levi,
pray that God willreconcile you to beinga faithful husband
to the innocent girlagainst whom you have sinned.
I will pray, Bishop.
I will pray that Zillahwill come forwardand make this right.
You will confess your sin,
or you will be putunder theMeidung.
You will be shunned.
I will not confessto a sin I did not commit.
Two weeks, Levi! Two weeks!
And you will confess! And you will be married!
I can't tell youhow glad I am
to come to townand not have to see a doctor.
Just don't overdo it.
Well, I could saythe same about you.
Oh, I'm fine.
I just got a lot on my mind.
Are those yourgrandfather's lures?
Come here fora second, Grandma.
- Hey, there.- Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm wonderingabout those fishing luresin the window.
- They look pretty old.- They're antiques.
The young womanwho brought them in
said they belongedto her grandfather.
She seemed quite upset,
but she said she needed the money, so...
Would you like to see them?
Actually, do you haveany antique mirrorsabout so big?
It's funny you should askabout a mirror.
That same young womanbrought one injust a few days later.
I think you're gonna like it.
Something like that?
Oh.
Voicemail: Hi, it's Becky. Leave a message.
I'll get back to you. Thanks.
Becky, it's me. Where are you?
I know you're gettingthese messages.
Call me back right away.
I did not do these thingsthat Zillah accuses me of.
Please believe me.
I do believe you, but theMeidung...
If you are putunder the ban,
the rest of ushave no choice
but to observethe bishop's decision.
I know.
- Even you.- How can I abandon my own?
But how can I ignoretheMeidung?
If I am shunned, I will not be allowed
to take the childrento church.
My friendswill not speak to me,
they will not buy our crops
or the basketswe take to market.
How can I feedyour brother and sister
without the money we make?
We must have faiththat the truth will come out.
And if it does not?
Then you mustobey theMeidung.
You must shun me.
Grace: Yeah, hi. Deputy Small, this is Grace Conner.
I'm looking for the sheriff.
Okay, well do youhave any ideawhen he'll be back?
Can you just tell himthat I think he was rightabout Owen Peterson
and that I reallyneed him to come out hereas soon as possible?
- Thank you so much. - All right.
What is it thatyou're not telling me?
Do you rememberthose letters
that Becky was writingthrough the ministry?
Well, they were going toan inmate named Owen Peterson.
Pretty soon they werewriting back an forthdirectly to one another,
and this is actuallyfrom him. Listen to this.
"I just found out thatthey're releasing me early."
When I get out, we'll finallymeet face-to-face.
"I can't wait to see you, sweet Becky."
And apparentlyPeterson was released
just beforethe Millers were attacked,
and the sheriff thinks
that he was inthe area at the time.
And then on top of that, Deputy Small told me
that they foundPeterson's fingerprint
on one ofthe bullets in the gun
that was usedto kill Abraham.
Even if Beckywas helping him,
after she heard thathe'd shot Abraham and Claire...
You'd think she'd tell us, unless he threatened her.
Do you think he got herto sell the luresand the mirror?
I don't know, but I just want her home
so that we can help herout of this mess.
This is my fault.
I should've been here. She needed me.
Oh, no, Grace. Please, no.
Grandma, I want you to goover to the Miller's
and stay with Levi and Claire
until I get all this settled here.
No. I'm not leavingyou here alone.
Hey, that's an order.
( Sighs )
Becky! Becky, are you home?
- Becky?- Grace.
Okay, Becky, you need to come hereright now, quickly.
Grace, no. I'm helping Owenget out of here right now.
Owen is not whoyou think he is.
He has doneterrible things.
I swearl didn't do anything.
- Don't... Owen didn't attack the Millers.
Honey, his fingerprintswere on the bullet, okay?
I talked to Deputy Small. The sheriff is on his wayhere right now.
- You told Deputy Small?-Of course I did.
He's dirty, Grace.
He's a drug dealerand a blackmailer.
Owen was working for himwhen he got arrested.
You dealt drugs for Small?
I did.
I was an addict, but Becky's lettershelped me change.
I'm all done with that.
She helped meon the inside,
and now she'sstill helping me.
But your fingerprintswere on the bullet.
Small is lying.
He was waiting for Owenwhen he got out,
told him that he hadto keep working for him,
said that Owenowed him $10,000.
Owen didn't havethat kind of money, so I had to help him.
Is that why you wereselling Grandma's things?
I'm sorry, Grace. I had to.
Small said thatif he didn't get his money, he was gonna hurt Grandma.
After what happenedat the Miller's, I knew that he would.
Small: And you were right.
To be honest, it was never my intention.
I didn't expectthe old Amish manto jump me.
But since you made itso clear that Owen hereis done selling,
there's nothingthat would make me happier
than to pin a murderor three on him.
Leave us alone. We already paid you.
I'm afraid moneyis no longerthe issue here, kiddo,
not since your sisterdecided to get inthe middle of it.
Now it's nothing personal,
just not a big fanof witnesses.
You can't killall three of us.
It would be impossibleto explain.
Oh, is it? How about this?
I got your call, so I drove out to investigate.
I heard shots, and I came in and found
that Owen had shotyou two ladies with this.
Look familiar, Owen?
No? It should.
It's registeredin your name.
Then he pointed his gun at me
and I shot himwith my service pistol.
How's that sound?
Sounds likel chose a good timeto come for a visit.
- Whoa.- Levi!
Don't move! Don't move.
Trust me, I knowhow to use this thing.
Roll over. Roll over!
You guys all right?
It's over, okay?
You're gonna need a slingfor that shoulder.
I'll be okay.
I, uh, have totake Becky downtownto make a statement.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking I'm nota very good Swartzentruber,
but I've known thisfor some time now.
Levi, you are a good man.
Ah, but I have rebelledagainst many of our rules.
When the manwho killed Abrahamwas threatening me,
my heart was notfull of forgiveness.
I understand nowwhy Abraham fought to savethe life of my mother.
Even though this is not our way,
I must fight to protectthe lives of my family.
And I've got feelingsfor an Englisher.
I... I do lovethe people of my church,
but I can no longerfollow their rules.
So you're leavingthe church?
Mmm. I am.
And your family?
I don't know.
- Here you go.- Thank you.
Becky and I had a longtalk this afternoon.
- Good.- About you.
- Oh.- We wanna tell you how we feel.
Elizabeth: When you joined the Army,
your parents didn'ttry to stop you,
and neither did I.
I think we allkind of understood
that you were lookingfor something,
something thatyou didn't thinkyou could find here.
Grandma, I...
I know you have toanswer that email.
Before you make a decision,
I'd like youto consider that maybe
whatever you're looking for
could be right herein front of you.
What Grandmais trying to say
is that she wants you to stay,
and I want you to stay,
and Dusty wants you to stay.
So, it's settled.
So I don't get a vote? Nothing?
Sure, but it would bethree to one,
so it wouldn't matter.
Okay.
(knocking on door)
Grace.
I, uh, thought you mightlike these back.
Oh, thank you. Over there's fine.
That's a nice slingyou got there.
You know, maybe some day
I will grow toappreciate your sarcasm.
I got you a present.
Ready?
What is this?
It's a library card.
I really can't waitto take you theresomeday soon.
They have a lot of books.
- Thank you.- You're welcome.
So I saw Bishop Weaverand Zillah.
They were leaving.
Oh, Zillah came to admitthat she made up her story.
She's just jealousand she made a mistake.
So what happens? Will she be shunned?
No. She's the bishop'sdaughter.
She will confess in church, and she will be forgiven,
and life will go on.
That's ironic, isn't it?
And you, Levi?
What about youand your family?
Well, my familydecided to changeto a new order.
They're goingto join my Aunt Roseand my Uncle Henry.
- And you... No.
But the rulesin the new churchallow for contact
with those ofdifferent faiths, so it's good.
It's the right decisionfor all of us.
I made a decision, too, about re-enlisting.
Yeah?
So, Dr. Allen offered mea position at the hospital
and I think you mightbe stuck with me.
- That is good.- Really?
That is very good, yes.
Yeah, that's... it's a blessing to knowthat you'll be nearby
to help me find my wayin the English world.
I do know two things.
What's that?
I know that I love you, Grace Conner.
- I love you, too.- Really?
Yeah.
Mm. Mm. Wait.
What's... what's the second thing?
I know whereto find a bookon English weddings.
