FATHER?

I...

I SET SOME FOOD OUT

FOR YOU.

NO NEED TO WORRY

OVER ME, SON.

THANK YOU, NATHAN.

FATHER BEILER...

THANK YOU.

AND, REUBEN,

LET ME SERVE YOU.

THANK YOU, ANNIE.

MARTHA.

THIS DAY

IS SWEET ENOUGH

WITH YOUR DEAR SARAH

BECOMING OUR DAUGHTER, TOO.

THEY'RE BOTH

A BLESSING

TO US ALL.

RACHEL, IT'S YOUR TURN

AT THE CORNER TABLE NOW.

OH, NO. RACHEL'S

IN NO HURRY.

HER STUDENTS KEEP

HER QUITE OCCUPIED

FOR NOW.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU.

SIX CANDLES?

WHERE DID YOU LEARN

HOW TO COUNT?

I'M ONLY COUNTING

THE YEARS WE'VE

BEEN TOGETHER.

OH. I'VE GOT

SOMETHING FOR YOU.

TICKETS?

TWO TICKETS.

TO WHERE?

TO MAUI.

MAUI?

MAUI.

WHEN CAN WE GO?

I CAN TAKE OFF

AFTER THE 30th,

AND YOU'VE GOT

TWO WEEKS COMING,

SO...

I CAN'T ASK JACK NOW.

OUR CASELOAD

IS TOO HEAVY.

MAYBE...

NO, NO, NO.

IT'S, UH...

FORGET ABOUT IT.

MAKE A WISH

AND BLOW OUT

YOUR CANDLES.

IT WAS LUKE'S.

HIS EYES RESTED

ON ITS FACE

EVERY TIME HE COUNTED

THE HOURS OF HIS LABORS.

BUT SHOULDN'T THIS GO

TO ONE OF YOUR SONS?

SIMON...

YOU ARE ONE OF MY SONS.

THANK YOU,

MOTHER.

THANK YOU.

OH, NO!

FIRE! FIRE!

[NEIGH]

OH, NO!

THE ANIMALS,

MOTHER!

JOHN, GO FOR HELP.

I'M GOING, MOTHER.

DAVID, THE ANIMALS!

SARAH! THE PUMP!

HERE'S MY APRON.

COVER YOUR HEADS.

HERE, ANNIE.

GIVE IT TO ME!

TAKE IT!

TAKE IT! RUN!

WHOA! WHOA!

MR. JOHNSON!

MR. JOHNSON, HELP!

JOHN, WHAT IS IT?

WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?

OUR BARN'S ON FIRE!

OVER THERE!

THERE'S A BARN

THAT'S BURNING, TOO!

YOUR BARN IS ON FIRE.

LORD HELP US.

COCO AND DAISY

ARE STILL INSIDE!

DAVID, IT'S

TOO DANGEROUS!

EVERYBODY,

STAY OUT!

I CAN SAVE THEM,

MOTHER!

HURRY, MIRIAM.

LOOK! FATHER,

THAT'S OUR BARN!

IS THAT OUR BARN,

REUBEN?

YES, MARTHA!

THE CARRIAGE, SIMON!

THE TROYER BARN

IS BURNING, TOO!

MR. JOHNSON CALLED THE

FIRE DEPARTMENT MOTHER.

IT'S TOO LATE JOHN.

IT'S TOO LATE.

THE ANIMALS!

OU'VE SAVED MOST OF THE ANIMALS.

YOU WERE VERY BRAVE

CAN YOU SEE IT, SIMON?

IS IT OUR BARN?

YES, MOTHER.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

TO US?

WHOA!

THE ANIMALS.

HURRY, SON!

GET THE HORSES!

YOUR PARENTS ARE SAFE?

YES.

SO ARE THE ZOOKS.

SO ARE WE ALL.

WE'RE HERE TO GREET

A BEAUTIFUL NEW DAY.

GOD IS MERCIFUL.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE

EATEN AT MY PLACE.

HELLO?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT THE AMISH?

JACK,

THIS IS MY DAY OFF.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

THEY DRESS FUNNY,

DON'T DRIVE CARS,

OR USE ELECTRICITY.

WHAT DO I WIN?

A TRIP TO PALMERSFIELD,

IOWA.

WHAT ARE YOU

TALKING ABOUT?

I NEED YOU

IN PALMERSFIELD

THIS AFTERNOON. WHEN?

THIS AFTERNOON!

IT'S MY DAY OFF.

THERE'S A TICKET

IN YOUR NAME

AT THE CHICAGO WEST

AIRLINES COUNTER

FOR A NOON FLIGHT.

DON'T HANG UP.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

BARN BURNINGS.

I'M CALLING

MY BEST AGENT.

THANKS.

ANYTIME. HEY,

DON'T FORGET TO PACK

YOUR BONNET.

HA HA HA.

SWEET.

WHAT'S UP?

I JUST HAVE TO FLY

TO THE BOONIES

AND COMB THE WOODS

FOR SOME LOCAL CRACKPOT

WHO'S TORMENTING

THE AMISH

WITH HIS

CIGARETTE LIGHTER.

REALLY?

DON'T I GET

ANY SYMPATHY?

WELL, SAL,

A MAN'S GOT TO DO

WHAT A MAN'S

GOT TO DO.

YOU'RE STILL MIFFED

ABOUT LAST NIGHT,

AREN'T YOU?

MIFFED? WHY SHOULD

I BE MIFFED?

I LOVE BEING PATRONIZED

BY YOUR FAMILY.

OH, IT'S SCOTT,

SALLY'S...

WELL...

YOU KNOW...

I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE

THIS CONVERSATION

WITH YOUR BACK.

BACK OR FRONT,

IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG.

YES, BUT WHICH

VARIATION--

THE BLUE COLLAR VERSUS

THE WHITE COLLAR,

OR THE ENDLESS

DEFINITIONS

OF COMMITMENT?

I THINK IT'S THE "I CAN

VERBALIZE MY WAY OUT

OF ANY CONFRONTATION."

THAT ONE.

I HAVE TO PACK.

THANK YOU.

SHERIFF GARRISON?

YEAH.

SALLY RUSSELL, FBI.

OH.

YOU WERE EXPECTING ME,

WEREN'T YOU?

I'M JUST SURPRISED

YOUR OFFICE SENT

A FEMALE INVESTIGATOR.

OH, MY.

DON'T TELL ME--

MY AIRPLANE FLEW

THROUGH A TIME WARP.

WELL, IN A WAY,

YES.

THE AMISH HAVE RATHER

CONVENTIONAL VIEWS

ON GENDER.

THEY'D BE MUCH

MORE COMFORTABLE

WITH A MAN.

WELL, I'LL MAKE THEM

COMFORTABLE WITH ME.

WITH YOUR HELP,

OF COURSE.

YOU GOT IT.

WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

MY OFFICE FAXED ME

A FEW PAGES,

BUT I READ AS MUCH

IN THE NEWSPAPER.

WHAT MAKES YOU

SO CERTAIN THEY'RE

HATE CRIMES?

THERE'S NO REASON

TO ATTACK THESE PEOPLE

EXCEPT THEY'RE DIFFERENT.

FORGIVE ME.

I'M ALMOST

TOTALLY IGNORANT

OF AMISH WAYS

AND CUSTOMS,

BUT THESE PEOPLE

CAN'T BE IMMUNE

TO THE BASER HUMAN

DRIVES AND EMOTIONS

SUCH AS JEALOUSY,

ANGER, FEAR,

THE EVER-POPULAR

VENGEANCE,

NOT TO MENTION GREED

FOR INSURANCE MONEY.

THE AMISH DON'T INSURE

THEIR PROPERTY,

AND THEY'RE

COMPLETELY NONVIOLENT.

THEY DON'T CHEAT OR LIE.

GIVEN YOUR KNOWLEDGE

AND EXPERIENCE,

I'LL TAKE THAT

ON FAITH.

ANY SUSPECTS

FROM OUTSIDE

THE COMMUNITY?

A FEW HOOLIGANS

WHO'VE TURNED

A LOCAL POOL HALL

HISTORY OF HELLRAISING.

I'LL SHOW YOU

THEIR FILES.

INTERVIEWED THEM?

THEY GIVE EACH OTHER

ALIBIS FOR A LIVING.

WHERE DO WE START?

SCENE OF THE CRIME?

READY WHEN YOU ARE.

AFTER YOU.

THAT'S A LOVELY OUTFIT

AND VERY ATTRACTIVE

ON YOU...

UH-HUH.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

THE AMISH ARE KNOWN

AS THE PLAIN PEOPLE

BECAUSE

THEY DRESS SIMPLY.

FANCY DRESSING IS

CONSIDERED PRIDEFUL.

PRIDE'S BAD, HUH?

HUMBLE'S BETTER.

I CAN DO HUMBLE.

ANY COMBUSTIVE AGENTS FOUND?

SO FAR, NOT EVEN A MATCH

UHH....

WHAT ABOUT AN OVER

TURNED LANTERN?

MRS. O'LEARY'S COW?

SORRY,

NO FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

IN THIS BARN.

OR THE OTHER TWO.

I GUESS NON WERE NEEDED.

THIS MUST HAVE GONE

OFF LIKE KINDLING.?

LOOK AT THAT.

EXACTLY.

SO HOW ARE

THE FAMILIES REACTING?

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

THAT'S THE BEILERS.

ANNIE,

HER FATHER-IN-LAW,

THE BRIDE AND GROOM,

AND THE GROOM'S

MOTHER, MRS. TROYER,

HELPING OUT.

THEY SEEM TO BE

TAKING IT PRETTY WELL.

THEY'RE IN PAIN OVER

THE LOSS OF THEIR BARNS

AND ESPECIALLY

THEIR ANIMALS,

WHO WERE ALMOST LIKE

FAMILY MEMBERS TO THEM.

THEY'VE HAD NO REST,

BUT IT'S HARVEST SEASON.

THEY DON'T HAVE TIME

FOR COMPLAINTS

OR REGRETS.

DO THEY HAVE TIME

TO TALK TO ME?

I SHOULD WARN YOU.

THEY'RE A LITTLE UNEASY

AROUND OUTSIDERS,

OR ENGLISH,

AS WE'RE CALLED.

I MUST GET SOME POINTS

FOR BEING WITH YOU,

NOT TO MENTION

THE SHAWL.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK

ALL OF YOU

FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT

TO TALK TO ME.

THANK YOU

FOR BEING OUR GUEST.

MMM. LOVELY.

WE CAN START

WITH A FEW QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, THESE MACHINES

ARE SUCH A NUISANCE.

AHEM.

PERHAPS WE'LL

START AGAIN.

PLEASE.

DO YOU KNOW WHO MIGHT HAVE

SET THE FIRES?

WE DON'T KNOW

MANY PEOPLE OUTSIDE

OUR COMMUNITY.

PERHAPS A VENDOR,

A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE,

SOMEONE WHO WAS ANGRY

WITH THE BRIDE OR GROOM

OR THE FAMILIES?

NO.

BUT EVEN

IF SOME ENGLISH

WERE PUNISHING

THE WEDDING FAMILIES,

WHY BURN

AMOS ZOOK'S BARN?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

IS THERE SOME CONNECTION

BETWEEN YOUR FAMILIES

AND THE ZOOKS?

JUST THAT

WE'RE ALL NEIGHBORS...

AND FRIENDS.

YES.

[SALLY]

COULD YOU HAVE

A COMMON ENEMY?

JOHN?

CAN YOU

THINK OF SOMEONE?

NO.

I SEE.

HAS ANYONE EVER MADE THREATS

AGAINST ANY OF YOU?

OH, MY. NO.

PERHAPS SOMEONE FROM TOWN,

SOME YOUNG PEOPLE

TRYING TO MAKE TOUBLE.

WE KEEP TO OURSELVES.

NO REASON FOR THREATS.

WELL, I WON'T KEEP YOU

ANY LONGER.

IF ANYTHING COMES TO MIND,

ANYTHING AT ALL,

JUST TELEPHONE

MR. GARRISON.

I'LL BE IN TOWN

FOR A FEW DAYS.

JUST GET A MESSAGE

TO THE SHERIFF.

HE KNOWS HOW TO REACH ME.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO FIND

THE ARSONIST FOR YOU.

THANK YOU...

BUT DON'T FIND HIM

FOR US.

HE'LL HAVE TO

ANSWER TO GOD.

WE'VE ALREADY

FORGIVEN HIM.

I GUESS I NEED

MORE THAN A CHANGE

OF CLOTHES.

YOU DID FINE.

YOU REALLY THINK

I CAN HELP YOU

ON THIS CASE?

YOU UNDERSTAND

THESE PEOPLE

A LOT BETTER THAN I DO.

THE AMISH ARE INNOCENTS.

THEY NEED ALL

THE PROTECTION

WE CAN GIVE THEM.

THEY'RE FOREIGN TO ME

WITH A COMPLETELY

DIFFERENT VALUE SYSTEM.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN

GET THROUGH TO THEM.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

LET THEM GET THROUGH

TO YOU.

HI. WHAT COULD

I GET YOU?

A CLUB SODA,

PLEASE.

RIGHT UP.

ANOTHER BREW.

WHEN DID YOU GET

SO HELPFUL?

I'M ALWAYS HELPFUL.

YOU NEED ANY HELP?

IF I DID, WOULD YOU

BE OLD ENOUGH?

OH, YEAH.

I'LL SHOW YOU MY I.D.

I'M SALLY.

I'M GEORGE.

THAT'S LESTER.

WELCOME TO NOWHERE.

SO, WHAT BRINGS

YOU HERE?

THOUGHT I'D STOP

AND SEE AMERICA'S

HEARTLAND.

AMERICA'S STABLE.

REALLY?

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

DID YOU SMELL

THE AIR?

NOTHING BUT FARMERS

AND FARM ANIMALS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

TRY IT FOR 20 YEARS.

HA HA HA!

LOOKS NICE TO ME,

EXCEPT FOR THE BURNED BARNS,

OF COURSE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET

WHEN YOU USE GAS LAMPS.

HA!

YOU THINK THAT'S IT?

THREE BARNS IN ONE NIGHT?

BIT OF A COINCIDENCE,

DON'T YOU THINK?

WHERE'D YOU SAY

YOU WERE FROM?

I DIDN'T. CHICAGO.

HERE'S MY I.D.

I KNEW IT.

I AIN'T AFRAID OF YOU.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE?

ENJOY YOUR VISIT.

I THINK I WILL.

COME ON, LESTER.

LET'S GO.

YEAH, OK.

[MEN WHOOPING]

[HORN HONKING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

OH!

[KNOCKING ON A DOOR]

SON?

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

YES MOTHER,

COME IN.

IT'S JUST A DREAM.

IS IT MOTHER?

IT'S ALL OVER NOW.

LOCAL TOUGHS HAVING FUN

WITH A CITY SLICKER.

THEY'RE LOCAL MANIACS,

SAL.

THERE ARE NO SAFE

HAVENS ANYMORE.

THEY KNEW YOU WERE

A GOVERNMENT AGENT,

AND THEY THREATENED

YOU ANYWAY.

THAT MEANS

THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

OR STUPID.

HONEY, THEY THREATENED ME,

IF THEY'D WANTED TO KILL ME,

THEY COULD HAVE.

LISTEN, I AM NOT IMPRESSED

WITH YOUR BLASÉ

REACTION TO DANGER.

YOU TRYING

TO BE TOUGHER THAN

THE BOYS AGAIN?

SCOTT, I'M LATE.

CALL YOU LATER.

ALL RIGHT, SAL.

GOOD-BYE.

YOU WANT ME TO BRING

IN GEORGE AGAIN?

NO. HE WON'T RESPOND

TO DIRECT CONFRONTATION.

HE'S USED TO IT. I'M

GOING TO APPROACH HIM

AT AN ANGLE.

WHAT ANGLE IS THAT?

HIS GIRLFRIEND.

NANCY.

NANCY FRAZIER.

SHE WORKS

AT THE DRUGSTORE.

I CAN INTRODUCE YOU

TO PEOPLE HERE,

AND IT WILL SEEM

MORE NATURAL.

THEY'RE USED TO DEALING

WITH OUTSIDERS

IN THIS ARENA.

[AUCTIONEER CALLING BIDS]

MIGHT AS WELL START

AT THE TOP.

BISHOP, MRS. LAPP,

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING,

MR. GARRISON.

MAY I INTRODUCE

MY FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE

MISS SALLY RUSSELL?

HELLO.

GOOD MORNING.

MORNING.

BISHOP LAPP

IS THE LEADER OF

THE CHURCH DISTRICT.

IT'S A PLEASURE

TO MEET YOU, SIR.

MISS RUSSELL

IS WITH THE FBI

HATE CRIMES DIVISION.

SHE'S INVESTIGATING

THE FIRES.

THE FIRES ARE OVER.

WE SHALL REBUILD

OUR BARNS.

YES, AND WE'RE WORKING

TO FIND THE ARSONIST

TO ENSURE THAT MORE BARNS

AREN'T BURNT.

IF THEY ARE,

WE SHALL

REBUILD THOSE.

AND TO ENSURE

THAT LIVES AREN'T LOST.

WE THANK GOD FOR OUR

DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL,

AND WE PRAY THAT

HE WILL CONTINUE

TO HELP US.

WELL I'D LIKE

TO HELP YOU, TOO,

WITH WHATEVER INFORMATION

YOU CAN PROVIDE ME.

WHAT CAN WE TELL YOU?

DO YOU KNOW

WHO MIGHT HARBOR A GRUDGE

AGAINST YOUR PEOPLE?

WE CANNOT EXAMINE

OUR NEIGHBORS' HEARTS.

WE KNOW THEM ONLY

BY THEIR DEEDS.

WE ARE AN OLD PEOPLE

WHO HAVE FACED HATRED

AND PERSECUTION

FOR CENTURIES.

WE TURN OUR FACES

AWAY FROM EVIL.

WE DO NOT CRUMBLE

AT ITS PRESENCE,

NOR DO WE STRIVE

TO UNDERSTAND IT,

FOR WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND

TOO WELL,

YOU ARE IN DANGER

OF BECOMING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

GOOD DAY, BISHOP.

GOOD DAY,

MR. GARRISON.

I'LL SEE YOU

AT THE FIRST

BARN RAISING.

BY THEIR DEEDS.

THANK YOU.

[AUCTIONEER CALLING BIDS]

THEY ARE ASTOUNDINGLY PASSIVE.

EVEN IN THE FACE OF CRIME.

THAT'S HOW THEY MUST FACE

ANY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THEM.

IT'S CALLED

"PASSIVE RESISTANCE".

IT'S FRUSTRATING.

THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

HELLO, SHERIFF.

ARE THOSE THE BEILERS?

TRYING TO

MAKE ENDS MEET.

ANNIE'S HUSBAND DIED

LAST FALL.

SHE AND THE CHILDREN

HAVE BEEN RUNNING

THE FARM ALONE.

SHE SELLS BAKED GOODS

ON MARKET DAY.

THE FIRE WAS THE LAST

THING SHE NEEDED.

GOOD MORNING.

MORNING,

MRS. BEILER.

GOOD MORNING,

LADIES.

MR. GARRISON.

HELLO, ANNIE.

GOOD MORNING.

YOUR BARN WILL BE

BACK UP IN NO TIME.

IT'S A BLESSING

YOU AND THE CHILDREN

ARE WELL.

JOIN BEN AND ME

FOR SUPPER ON SUNDAY.

YES, AND MONDAY

WITH US.

YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO DO

WITHOUT COOKING.

[ANNIE]

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW

I ENJOY COOKING.

LET US SHARE

THAT ENJOYMENT.

I NEED TWO

SHOOFLY PIES.

TWO CHERRY FOR ME.

ARE THOSE RHUBARB?

MATTHEW LOVES RHUBARB.

IRENE YODER,

YOU BAKE THE BEST PIES

IN THE COUNTY.

NOT LATELY, WITH ALL

THE CANNING I'VE BEEN DOING.

GOOD MORNING, LADIES.

[ALL]

GOOD MORNING.

ARE YOU SELLING

YOUR QUILTING NOW?

NO, IT'S

JUST DRESSING,

AND I KNOW

YOU DON'T NEED

A QUILT, IRENE.

NO, BUT SOMEBODY DOES.

WHY NOT SELL THEM?

WHY NOT, ANNIE? YOU DO

THE FINEST STITCHING

AND THE PRETTIEST

PATTERNS.

THANK YOU, BUT

THESE TWO HANDS

ARE TOO SLOW

TO MAKE ANY

MONEY AT IT.

NOT IF YOU ADD

MY TWO HANDS.

AND MY TWO.

AND MINE.

MY DEAR

FRIENDS...

THANK YOU.

THE CHILDREN AND I

WOULD LOVE TO HAVE

SUPPER WITH YOU.

THANK YOU.

LET ME BOX THAT

FOR YOU, IRENE.

NO NEED.

MY BASKET'S RIGHT HERE.

[WOMAN]

THESE LOOK

DELICIOUS, ANNIE.

RACHEL MADE

THE CHERRY.

PAUL, WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME

A MINUTE, PLEASE?

SURE.

LET'S SEE. HMM...

THANK YOU, RACHEL.

IF MY MOTHER SEES ME...

I WAS SO WORRIED

ABOUT YOU.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES. WE'RE ALL FINE.

YOU LOOK WELL.

YOU LOOK WELL, TOO, SAM.

YOU'RE NOT

LOOKING INTO

MY EYES, RACHEL...

INTO MY HEART.

I'VE MISSED YOU

SO MUCH.

I'VE MISSED YOU,

TOO, SAM,

BUT I HAVE TO GO BACK.

MEET ME AGAIN

TOMORROW AFTERNOON

AT TYLER'S BRIDGE.

I CAN'T.

AT TYLER'S BRIDGE.

TOMORROW, 4:00.

SAY YOU'LL MEET ME.

I'LL MEET YOU.

WHO WOULD WANT TO

DISTURB THIS BEAUTY?

WHO, INDEED.

MRS. ZOOK.

GOOD DAY SHERIFF.

ANOTHER SCAR ON THE EARTH.

I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN

YOUR SHARE.

I HAVE.

DAMAGED MINDS TRYING TO

DAMAGE OTHER MINDS.

AND BODIES.

PLEASE REMEMBER

WHAT I SAID, MR. ZOOK.

AND CALL ME IF YOU

NEED ANYTHING.

THANK YOU.

I WILL.

TAKE CARE.

GOODBYE BOYS.

GOODBYE.

AMOS.

PAUL.

AMOS ZOOK,

SALLY RUSSELL.

THANK YOU FOR AGREEING

TO MEET ME MR. ZOOK.

I KNOW WHAT A DIFFICULT

TIME THIS IS FOR YOU.

THANK YOU FOR

COMING TO HELP US.

WHO MIGHT HAVE HAD A

REASON TO SET THESE FIRES?

NO.

NO IDEA.

HAVE YOU HAD DIFFICULTY

WITH ANY ENGLISH LATELY?

NO.

ALL THE ENGLISH I

KNOW ARE FRIENDS.

WHO WAS THAT WHO

JUST LEFT, PLEASE?

THAT WAS MR. DIXON.

REAL-ESTATE AGENT FROM TOWN.

MAY I ASK WHAT HE WANTED?

HE LEARNED OF OUR TROUBLE

HE WANTED TO KNOW IF HE

COULD HELP ME

BY BUYING SOME

OF MY LAND.

CAN I HELP YOU?

I JUST NEED

SOME MINTS.

50 CENTS.

WERE YOU IN THAT CAR

LAST NIGHT, NANCY?

YOU CAN MAKE ME

WAIT ON YOU,

BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE

ME TALK TO YOU.

WANT TO MAKE A BET?

I'M A FEDERAL AGENT.

YOU CAN TALK TO ME HERE

OR AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THAT'S MY UNCLE.

DOES HE KNOW YOU ALMOST

RAN ME DOWN LAST NIGHT?

I DIDN'T DO THAT.

YOU WERE IN THE CAR.

THEY DIDN'T TELL ME.

WHO?

GEORGE AND LESTER?

THEY WEREN'T

TRYING TO HURT YOU,

JUST SCARE YOU.

WHY? DID THEY SET

THE FIRES?

NO. I KNOW THEY

WOULDN'T DO THAT.

THEN WHY TRY

AND SCARE ME?

THEY'RE ANGRY.

AT WHO? AT ME?

AT THE AMISH?

AT EVERYONE.

AT ME EVEN.

WHY YOU?

I CAN'T SAY.

Uncle: CAN I HELP YOU?

NO, THANK YOU.

THIS YOUNG LADY WILL

GIVE ME DIRECTIONS.

OUTSIDE.

GEORGE IS MAD AT ME

BECAUSE I WAS SEEING

ANOTHER BOY,

AND HE FOUND OUT.

WHO? WHAT'S HIS NAME?

I WON'T TELL YOU.

EVEN IF YOU TELL

MY UNCLE,

I WON'T PULL HIM

INTO THIS.

WHY NOT?

THEN HE'S ALREADY

IN IT, NANCY.

I ADMIRE YOUR LOYALTY,

BUT YOU COULD BE

PUTTING THIS BOY

IN DANGER

BY NOT TELLING ME

HIS NAME.

IF I DON'T TELL YOU

HIS NAME,

I MIGHT PUT HIM

IN DANGER,

BUT IF

I DO TELL YOU,

I WILL GET HIM

IN TROUBLE

WITH HIS FAMILY.

I'M STAYING

AT THE CARRIAGE INN,

ROOM NINE.

IF YOU CHANGE

YOUR MIND, CALL ME.

YOU COULD SAVE

THIS BOY'S LIFE.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OH, MAN!

YOU JUST SET HIM

RIGHT UP FOR ME.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE!

DON'T GO IN THERE!

I HAVE TO.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[KNOCKING]

WHO IS IT?

IT'S NANCY!

OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE!

HELP ME, PLEASE!

YOU PEOPLE

THINK YOU OWN

THIS WHOLE TOWN!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

IN HERE ANYWAY?

WHO INVITED YOU?

YOU THINK WE NEED

LESSONS FROM YOU?

YOU THINK YOU'RE

BETTER THAN US!

NO.

NO. YOU CAN'T

FOOL US WITH THAT

INNOCENT ACT

JUST BECAUSE IT

WORKS ON ONE GIRL.

IF YOU'RE ANGRY AT ME

ABOUT NANCY,

DON'T TAKE IT OUT

ON MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU REALLY

ARE CRAZY.

[MAN]

YOU TWO, TAKE THAT

OUT OF HERE!

OK, LET'S GO

THIS WAY, PUNK!

[GLASS BREAKS]

[MAN]

ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?

GET AWAY FROM HIM!

TRAITOR!

[SALLY]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

CAN YOU STAND?

UH-HUH.

I'M TAKING YOU HOME.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU

KNOWN THEM, JOHN?

A FEW MONTHS.

WE MET IN TOWN.

WHY DID YOU WANT

TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM?

BECAUSE THEY

WERE DIFFERENT.

I WANTED TO KNOW PEOPLE

WHO WERE DIFFERENT.

DID YOU KNOW

ABOUT THIS?

YES. IN A WAY.

IN A WAY?

WHEN OUR CHILDREN

TURN 16,

THEY ARE ALLOWED

A FEW YEARS

TO EXPLORE

THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

IF THEY STILL CHOOSE

TO REMAIN AMISH,

THEY'RE BAPTIZED

AND ACCEPTED

INTO THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT EXACTLY

ARE THEY ALLOWED

TO EXPLORE?

THEY MAY GO TO

A MOVIE, LISTEN TO

MUSIC, DRIVE A CAR.

ASSOCIATE WITH

THE ENGLISH?

YES. OF COURSE, WE

EXPECT OUR CHILDREN

TO MAKE

INTELLIGENT CHOICES.

I'M SORRY, MOTHER.

JOHN, DID GEORGE,

LESTER, OR NANCY

SAY UNKIND THINGS

ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE?

NO.

I THOUGHT

THEY LIKED ME, SO...

I THOUGHT

THEY LIKED MY PEOPLE.

AND WHAT CHANGED IT?

NANCY.

SHE BEGAN TO BE...

TOO FRIENDLY WITH ME,

AND GEORGE DIDN'T LIKE IT.

HE BEGAN TO CALL ME NAMES.

AT FIRST,

I THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING,

BUT THEN...

I REALIZED HE WASN'T.

ARE YOU SAYING IT WAS

ALL GEORGE'S FAULT?

NO.

I...SAID...

NANCY BECAME...

TOO FRIENDLY WITH ME,

AND...

I RETURNED

HER AFFECTIONS.

I'VE BROUGHT THIS

ON MY FAMILY.

MY FATHER BUILT

THAT BARN

WITH HIS TWO HANDS,

AND I'M THE REASON

IT BURNED.

WE RAISED THOSE ANIMALS

FROM BIRTH,

AND I'M THE REASON

THEY DIED.

MY FAMILY GAVE ME LOVE.

I'M THE REASON

THEY'RE IN PAIN.

NO, JOHN.

WE'RE NOT CERTAIN

THAT GEORGE

COMMITTED THE CRIMES,

AND IF HE DID,

THEY'RE HIS CRIMES,

NOT YOURS.

JOHN HAS HAD AN

EXTRA BURDEN SINCE

HIS FATHER DIED.

HE'S TAKEN ON MANY

RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR SOMEONE HIS AGE.

TOO MANY, I THINK.

NO, MOTHER.

HE'S HAD TO BECOME

A MAN TOO SOON.

AND IN MY NEED,

I FORGOT THE NEEDS

OF A BOY.

FORGIVE ME, JOHN.

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.

I DON'T THINK I'VE

SEEN SO MANY STARS.

I SUPPOSE THAT'S ONE

OF THE ADVANTAGES

OF NOT USING

ELECTRICITY.

GOD'S LIGHT

IS MORE VISIBLE.

THANK YOU FOR

LOOKING AFTER MY BOY...

AND FOR HELPING HIM

TO BE HONEST WITH ME.

DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN?

NO.

I THINK YOU WOULD MAKE

A VERY WISE MOTHER.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE

A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE.

NO BETTER

THAN ANY OTHER.

OUR CHILDREN ARE

VERY IMPORTANT TO US,

AS ENGLISH CHILDREN

ARE TO THEIR PARENTS,

I'M SURE.

WHAT HAPPENS

IF A CHILD BECOMES

ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED

WITH SOMEONE OUTSIDE

THE COMMUNITY,

AS JOHN DID?

THEN HE MUST LEAVE

THE FAITH,

OR SHE MUST ENTER IT.

THEY CANNOT LIVE

AND RAISE CHILDREN

WITH ONE FOOT

IN EACH WORLD.

BUT JOHN AND THIS GIRL...

WERE NOT SERIOUS,

I THINK.

IT'S WHAT WE CALL

A BAD COURTSHIP.

AND ARE THERE

BAD COURTSHIPS

BETWEEN CHILDREN

WHO ARE BOTH

OF YOUR FAITH?

YES. OF COURSE.

FOR WHAT REASONS?

PARENTS

MAY NOT APPROVE

OF WHO IS COURTING

THEIR CHILD.

WILL THE CHILD RESPECT

THE PARENTS' WISHES?

SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

BUT ISN'T IT THAT WAY

WITH YOUR PEOPLE?

THANK YOU.

GOOD NIGHT.

SO WHERE DO YOU THINK GEORGE

AND LESTER DISAPPEARED TO?

WHERE DO COCKROACHES GO

WHEN YOU TURN ON

THE KITCHEN LIGHT?

WE GOT AN APB OUT.

THEY'RE NOT HARD TO SPOT.

WE'LL FIND THEM.

BEFORE THEY DO ANYMORE

DAMAGE, I HOPE.

MY GUESS IS

THEY'RE SCARED STIFF

FROM DRIVING AWAY

FROM HERE IN A STRAIGHT LINE

UNTIL THEY RUN OUT

OF GAS OR MONEY.

SO WHAT ABOUT THE

REAL-ESTATE AGENT, DIXON?

THE TROYER'S SAID HE

STOPPED BY THEIR PLACE.

MADE THE SAME INQUIRIES HE

MADE AT THE ZOOK PLACE.

ALL VERY FRIENDLY,

AS AN OFFER OF HELP.

WANT TO TALK TO

HIM THIS AFTERNOON?

I GOTTA TAKE CARE

OF ONE THING FIRST.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

ALL RIGHT.

I SHOULDN'T.

WHY NOT, RACHEL?

WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

WHO DECIDES THAT?

SHOULDN'T WE?

MAYBE.

BUT OUR PARENTS

THINK THEY SHOULD.

WE'VE DONE NOTHING

WRONG, RACHEL.

WHY SHOULD WE SUFFER?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WE CAN'T DEFY THEM.

YES, WE CAN.

WE HAVE ALREADY.

I LOVE YOU, SAM.

I LOVE YOU, RACHEL.

BUT I CAN'T SEE

YOU ANYMORE.

I CAN'T DISOBEY

MY MOTHER,

AND I CAN'T LIE

TO HER.

YOU WON'T SEE ME AGAIN?

NO.

NOT UNTIL

THINGS CHANGE.

ALL RIGHT, RACHEL...

ALL RIGHT.

I ACCEPT...

WITH GRACE.

GIDDY UP!

[HORN HONKING]

HANNAH! HANNAH!

HANNAH!

I THINK HANNAH'S

IN THERE!

HANNAH!

THE BABY'S

IN THE BARN!

HELP, PEOPLE!

HANNAH!

HANNAH,

WHERE ARE YOU?

HANNAH!

[PIGS SQUEALING]

HURRY!

[SCREAMING]

IN THE BARN!

HURRY!

MY BABY!

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S BREATHING.

[COUGHING]

WHOA!

[COUGHING]

SAM, HELP WITH

THE CATTLE!

[MAN]

SALLY.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

I'M FINE.

HOW'S THE LITTLE GIRL?

SHE'S JUST FINE,

TOO.

ANYBODY HURT?

NO. THEY LOST THEIR BARN,

BUT THEY'RE ALL SAFE,

AND THEY'RE

VERY GRATEFUL.

WE'RE GRATEFUL

FOR ALL THE HELP

YOU'VE GIVEN US.

THANK YOU.

I SUPPOSE

I SHOULD GET GOING.

OHH.

MMM.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

STAY A WHILE TILL

YOU FEEL STRONGER.

GOOD IDEA. I'LL GO

BACK TO THE LAPPS'.

ANY NEW LEADS?

WE FOUND A BURNT

BOOK OF MATCHES

AT THIS ONE.

AND?

HARD TO TELL,

BUT THEY MIGHT BE

PRINTED WITH THE LOGO

FROM THE POOL HALL.

JOHN!

[CRYING]

IT'S MY FAULT, MOTHER.

NO, JOHN.

WHENEVER

WE MEET PEOPLE,

WE TOUCH

THEIR LIVES,

BUT WE'RE

NOT RESPONSIBLE

FOR HOW THEY RESPOND

TO THAT TOUCH.

THAT'S THEIR CHOICE.

BUT IF I HADN'T...

I ASK MYSELF, WHAT

WOULD YOUR FATHER

TELL YOU NOW?

I THINK HE'D SAY

HEAPING BLAME

ON YOURSELF

IS THE EASY WAY

OF DEALING WITH

A PROBLEM.

IT WEIGHS YOU DOWN,

STOPS YOU

IN YOUR PATH.

IT'S AN EXCUSE

TO DO NOTHING.

I THINK HE'D SAY

THAT IT TAKES

MORE STRENGTH

TO ACCEPT

YOUR BURDEN

AND WALK ON WITH IT.

SOON YOU

FIND YOURSELF IN

A DIFFERENT PLACE...

STRONGER, WISER...

AND WITH

YOUR BURDEN GONE.

I THINK HE'D SAY,

"WALK ON, JOHN."

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

HE HAS

HIS FATHER'S STRENGTH.

HE'S JUST DISCOVERING IT.

I'D WANT TO FIND

THE ARSONIST FOR JOHN

IF FOR NO OTHER REASON.

THANK YOU.

YOU SHOULD BE RESTING.

I FEEL RESTED.

THEN YOU SHOULD BE EATING.

MMM. DELICIOUS.

DELICIOUS.

MY GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE,

BROUGHT OVER FROM GERMANY

GENERATIONS AGO.

MY GRANDMOTHER

USED TO MAKE PIES.

OH, THAT BRINGS BACK

MEMORIES.

I THOUGHT HOMEMADE PIES

WERE A LOST ART.

WE KEEP

OUR PAST ALIVE.

I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHAT

I MISS IN MY LIFE...

THAT CONNECTION

TO SOMETHING FAMILIAR.

SINCE I LEFT HOME

TO GO TO COLLEGE,

I ONLY SEE MY FAMILY

HOLIDAYS, WEDDINGS,

AND FUNERALS.

I CAN'T IMAGINE.

OUR CHILDREN DON'T

GO AWAY TO SCHOOL,

AND EVEN AFTER

THEY MARRY,

THEY'RE NEVER

FAR AWAY.

SOMETIMES

RIGHT IN THE BACKYARD.

ISN'T THAT

YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW

WHO LIVES IN

THE HOUSE OUT BACK?

YES. WE TAKE CARE OF

OUR PARENTS IN OUR HOMES.

THEY'RE SURROUNDED

BY FAMILY

UNTIL THEIR TIME COMES.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

MOST OF THE TIME.

YOU PAY A PRICE

FOR BEING CLOSE,

JUST AS YOU PAY A PRICE

FOR BEING INDEPENDENT.

BUT THE PRICE FOR BEING CLOSE

IS SMALLER, I THINK.

I KNOW OUTSIDERS THINK

WE'RE STRANGE--

OUR DRESS, OUR FOOD,

OUR CUSTOMS.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE

SO STRANGE, MRS. BEILER.

ANNIE.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

AND I DON'T THINK YOU'RE

SUCH AN OUTSIDER...

SALLY.

HELLO, MRS. BEILER.

MR. DIXON.

BUT I WANTED TO OFFER

MY CONDOLENCES

FOR YOUR LOSS.

YOUR BARN,

THE TROYERS', THE ZOOKS',

I CAME TO GIVE YOU THIS

AS A TOKEN OF MY CONCERN.

HOW THOUGHTFUL,

MR. DIXON, BUT

MY LOSS IS MINOR.

I HAVE MY FAMILY

AND MY FAITH.

OF COURSE, WE MUST

COUNT OUR BLESSINGS,

BUT WE MUST ALSO

INVENTORY OUR LOSSES.

FIRST, YOUR DEAR LUKE,

NOW THE BARN,

AND SARAH MARRIED--

THAT'S ONE LESS

PAIR OF HANDS

TO WORK THE LAND.

IF YOU DECIDE

TO SELL SOME ACREAGE,

I'M HERE FOR YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. DIXON,

BUT I CAN'T MAKE

A PROFIT ON THE FARM

WITH LESS

THAN 100 ACRES,

AND THAT'S JUST

WHAT I HAVE NOW.

WELL...

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU

QUESTION YOUR JUDGMENT,

BUT IF YOU RECONSIDER,

I HOPE YOU'LL CALL ON ME,

AND WHEN YOU COUNT

YOUR BLESSINGS,

I HOPE YOU COUNT ME

AMONG THEM.

THANK YOU AGAIN,

MR. DIXON.

GOOD DAY.

OH, MY.

I COULDN'T HELP

OVERHEARING.

ACTUALLY,

I WAS LISTENING.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO.

HAS MR. DIXON

ENCOURAGED YOU

YES, AFTER LUKE DIED,

HE WANTED TO HELP ME

WITH DEBTS.

THAT'S A VERY CHARITABLE

WAY OF LOOKING AT IT.

I'M NOT A FOOLISH WOMAN.

I KNOW HE'S

CONDUCTING BUSINESS,

BUT I THINK

HE CARES ABOUT

OUR AFFAIRS AS WELL.

PEOPLE'S INTENTIONS

ARE OFTEN KINDER

THAN THEY REALIZE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MR. DIXON?

YES?

WE SPOKE

ON THE PHONE.

YES! PLEASE COME IN.

UM, HI.

HI.

YOU, UM...

YOU WERE LOOKING

FOR FARM PROPERTY?

YES, BUT NOT

TO FARM, OF COURSE.

JUST A FARMHOUSE...

OR MAYBE EVEN

A BARN TO CONVERT

AS A GETAWAY,

FOR MY HUSBAND AND ME.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA,

AND A PERFECT TIME TO BUY.

WELL, SO MANY OF THE AMISH

ARE SELLING THEIR LAND NOW.

WHY IS THAT?

IT'S HARD TO COMPETE

WITH MODERN FARMERS.

THEY'RE IN THE DARK AGES

WITH THEIR FARM EQUIPMENT.

THEY STILL TURN THEIR FIELDS

WITH HORSE-DRAWN PLOWS.

THEY DO OWN

MOST OF THE FARMLAND

IN THE VALLEY.

FOR NOW. EVOLUTION

HAPPENS IN STAGES.

MMM.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU GOT IN

AT THE FIRST STAGE.

NOW, I HAVE A PROPERTY.

UH, BEFORE WE GET

INTO SPECIFICS,

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT

THE BARN BURNINGS

THAT HAVE OCCURRED

IN THE AREA.

NO NEED FOR CONCERN.

THAT'S JUST

AN INTERNAL THING

BETWEEN THE AMISH.

I DON'T FOLLOW.

WELL, UH, OLD GRUDGES

AND FAMILY FEUDS, AND...

BETWEEN YOU AND ME...

THESE PEOPLE AREN'T

LIKE THE REST OF US.

THEY'VE BEEN LIVING

ISOLATED FOR TOO LONG,

CENTURIES

OUTSIDE THE LOOP.

THEY'RE BOUND TO PRODUCE

A CRACKPOT HERE AND THERE.

I THINK IT'S

A TERRIBLE IDEA.

FORGET IT.

I WAS LOOKING FOR SUPPORT,

NOT ASKING FOR APPROVAL.

COME ON.

YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS

SUPPORT YOU, SAL.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU

OWE THESE PEOPLE?

A LOT.

YOUR LIFE?

WHAT DO YOU

OWE YOURSELF,

YOUR FAMILY, ME?

THE FIRST BARN RAISING

IS THIS WEEKEND.

I DON'T WANT

THE NEW BARNS TO BURN.

I HAVE AN OBLIGATION.

YOU'RE GREAT WITH

THE OBLIGATIONS

TO HUMANITY.

IT'S THE PERSONAL ONES

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH.

I DON'T NEED CRITICISM

FROM YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOU DON'T SEEM TO NEED

MUCH OF ANYTHING

FROM ME NOW.

DO WHAT YOU WANT,

AND I'LL DO

WHAT I WANT. BYE, SAL.

[CLICK]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

SALLY.

ANNIE, I HOPE I'M NOT

DISTURBING YOU.

YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME

IN OUR HOME.

THANK YOU.

I NEED TO ASK

SOMETHING OF YOU.

BY ALL MEANS.

I'D LIKE TO STAY HERE

WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

UNTIL THE ARSONIST

IS FOUND.

I NEED TO BE CLOSER TO

ANY POTENTIAL DANGER.

RIGHT NOW I'M ISOLATED

IN A MOTEL ROOM.

COME IN.

THE CHILDREN ARE

ALREADY IN BED.

I'M PREPARING MY PIES

FOR MARKET.

CAN I HELP YOU

WITH THAT?

WELL, YOU COULD

POUR THOSE PRESERVES

IN THESE CRUSTS

WHILE I CUT

SOME MORE DOUGH.

ALL RIGHT.

WHY MY HOME?

YOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

VERY RESPECTFUL,

BUT YOU'VE

BEEN VERY KIND.

WE DO BELIEVE

IN LIVING SEPARATELY.

I KNOW THAT,

AND I'LL OBSERVE

YOUR CUSTOMS,

AND I'LL SHARE

YOUR WORK.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR WORK?

WELL, THAT

WILL BE MY WORK--

STAYING CLOSE TO YOU

AND YOUR NEIGHBORS,

OBSERVING,

ASKING QUESTIONS.

I'M SORRY.

PERHAPS IT WASN'T

SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

IT WAS

VERY PRESUMPTUOUS

OF ME TO COME.

IT WAS A LOVING IMPULSE,

AND I WOULD

VERY MUCH LIKE TO

HAVE YOU AS OUR GUEST...

BUT...

BUT I KNOW THE BISHOP

AND THE CHURCH ELDERS

WOULD FROWN ON IT.

COULD THEY

DISALLOW IT?

YES.

AND IF

YOU DISOBEYED?

THEY COULD PLACE ME

UNDER THE MEIDUNG.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE SHUNNING.

NO ONE WOULD

ASSOCIATE WITH ME.

MY OWN CHILDREN

COULD NOT SHARE MY TABLE.

I WOULD BE IN DISGRACE,

CUT OFF FROM EVERYONE

CLOSE TO ME.

I'M SO SORRY.

I HAD NO IDEA.

FORGIVE ME.

I'LL JUST SAY

GOOD NIGHT.

[DOOR OPENS]

SALLY.

SARAH'S ROOM

IS EMPTY NOW.

YOU COULD

STAY THERE.

BUT THE SHUNNING.

THE ELDERS WOULD

FIRST HAVE TO DECIDE

IF THERE'S A PROBLEM...

THEN GIVE ME

A WARNING...

AND A FEW WEEKS TO

CHANGE THE SITUATION.

WE HAVE TIME.

WE SHOULD

FINISH THOSE PIES

AND GET TO BED EARLY

SO YOU CAN

HELP RACHEL

WITH THE MILKING

IN THE MORNING.

HOW'S IT GOING?

I'LL CERTAINLY

APPRECIATE MY NEXT

GLASS OF MILK.

THIS TAKES FOREVER.

HEE HEE!

WELL...YOU'RE DOING FINE.

THE MILK IS FLOWING.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU USE

YOUR TWO FINGERS AT THE TOP

AND KEEP PULLING DOWN.

HA HA HA!

CARS ARE INTIMIDATING

FROM IN HERE.

HMM.

WHEN I WAS A GIRL,

I FELT MY WORLD MOVED...

TOO SLOWLY.

THE OUTSIDE WORLD

SEEMED TO BE

RUSHING BY ME SO FAST.

THEN I REALIZED...

GETTING FROM ONE PLACE

TO ANOTHER QUICKLY

DOES NOT ADD TIME

TO OUR LIVES.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT...

IS BEING TRULY PRESENT

WHEREVER WE ARE.

BUT DON'T YOU MISS

SOME OF THE GADGETS,

THE TECHNOLOGY?

FOR US,

IT'S A QUESTION OF...

WHAT MUST WE FORFEIT

TO HAVE THEM?

IF I ACCEPT

THE TELEVISION,

I MUST LOSE CONVERSATIONS

WITH MY CHILDREN.

IF I ACCEPT THE CAR

AND THE AIRPLANE,

MUST I ALSO ACCEPT

WEAPONS OF WAR?

WHERE DO WE

DRAW THE LINE?

BUT YOUR

CHURCH ELDERS

DRAW THE LINE

FOR YOU, DON'T THEY?

YES.

ON THE SIMPLEST LEVEL,

THE ELDERS OF

OUR CHURCH DISTRICTS

DECIDE IF WE SHOULD

ALLOW A BINDER

OR A MILKING MACHINE

INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

BUT THERE,

IT'S A MATTER OF SURVIVAL.

THE FARMS ARE

OUR LIVELIHOOD.

THAT'S WHY LOSING OUR BARN

IS SO HARD ON US.

THE BARN IS THE HEART

OF THE FARM.

ANNIE.

HELLO.

MISS RUSSELL.

WELCOME.

WE WERE JUST ABOUT

TO COME SEE YOU.

YES,

TO THANK YOU AGAIN.

NO THANKS NECESSARY.

SALLY AND I MADE THESE

FOR YOU LAST NIGHT.

OH!

OH, YOU HAVE

DONE SO MUCH

FOR US ALREADY.

HOW CAN

WE THANK YOU?

MAY I LOOK AT

YOUR BARN?

I THINK THAT

WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

THE SMOKE CAME

FROM OVER THERE.

THE FAR SIDE.

HIDDEN FROM

THE HOUSE.

WHOEVER SET THE FIRE

CAME HERE

SOMEONE

WOULD HAVE NOTICED

A CAR OR BUGGY.

BUGGY?

FOR THE SAKE

OF ARGUMENT.

THEY PROBABLY PARKED

ON THE ROAD,

WENT THROUGH

THE CORNFIELD,

SET THE FIRE,

AND THEN DISAPPEARED

BACK INTO THE FIELD.

SALLY.

[BISHOP LAPP]

ANNIE.

MISS RUSSELL.

BISHOP.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER

WOULD LIKE TO SAY

SOMETHING TO YOU.

HANNAH.

Go ahead.

THANK YOU

FOR SAVING ME.

YOU'RE WELCOME,

HANNAH.

YOUR LITTLE DOLL

LET ME KNOW

WHERE YOU WERE.

SHE HELPED SAVE YOU, TOO.

[BISHOP LAPP]

IT IS VERY DEAR

TO HER.

SHE WANTS YOU

TO HAVE IT.

I COULDN'T.

ACCEPT HER THANKS.

IT IS ALL SHE HAS

TO GIVE.

THANK YOU, HANNAH.

AND, UH...

ACCEPT MY THANKS,

MISS RUSSELL,

AND MY BLESSING.

I HAVE NOTHING MORE

FOR YOU EITHER,

SO PLEASE...

DO NOT ASK.

I ACCEPT YOUR THANKS,

BISHOP LAPP.

GOOD DAY.

ANNIE...

REMEMBER THE BIBLE--

BE NOT YOKED

WITH UNBELIEVERS.

I DO, BISHOP.

LET YOUR AIMS

BE SUCH AS ALL MEN

COUNT HONORABLE.

LIVE AT PEACE

WITH ALL MEN.

WHOA.

I THOUGHT FIELDWORK

WAS DONE BY YOUR MEN.

I THOUGHT FBI WORK

WAS DONE YOUR MEN.

HA HA HA!

ALL OF OUR WOMEN

DO SOME WORK IN THE FIELD.

I'VE HAD TO DO MORE

SINCE LUKE DIED.

HOW DID HE DIE?

CANCER.

OH.

IT WAS VERY FAST.

SUDDENLY,

THIS STRONG MAN

WHO SHARED MY BED

WAS AS SMALL AND AS FRAIL

AS A CHILD.

THEN HE WAS GONE...

OVERNIGHT.

ALL THE SIMPLE MOMENTS

WE SHARED...

THE MOMENTS

I TOOK FOR GRANTED,

HAVE BECOME

PRECIOUS MEMORIES TO ME.

I'M SO SORRY.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR

THE TIME WE HAD.

WE RAISED OUR CHILDREN.

WE WORKED TOGETHER

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER

FOR 20 YEARS.

HE STILL STANDS BESIDE ME.

HE ALWAYS WILL.

SALLY...

YOU NEVER TOLD ME.

TOLD YOU WHAT?

I SUPPOSE

I'M MORE ACCUSTOMED TO

ASKING FOR INFORMATION

THAN OFFERING IT.

NO, I'M NOT MARRIED...

BUT I HAVE

A WONDERFUL MAN

IN MY LIFE...

SIX YEARS.

HE'S A BUILDER.

UNFORTUNATELY,

I TRAVEL A LOT,

SO OUR WORK

KEEPS US APART.

WORK DOESN'T

KEEP PEOPLE APART,

NOT IF THEY LOVE

EACH OTHER.

SOMETIMES LOVE ISN'T ENOUGH

TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.

WHAT THEN?

PLACE THE ONE YOU LOVE

BEFORE YOU.

ANNIE, DO YOU MIND IF

I SPEAK WITH MR. GARRISON?

SHERIFF.

ANY NEWS?

GEORGE AND LESTER

WERE ARRESTED

FOR SPEEDING

AND DRIVING UNDER

THE INFLUENCE.

WHEN WAS THAT?

DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.

OH, GREAT.

THAT MEANS...

THEY WERE IN CUSTODY

WHEN THE LAPP FIRE

WAS SET.

IT DOESN'T PROVE

THEY DIDN'T SET

THE FIRST THREE FIRES.

YOU THINK THE LAPP FIRE

WAS A COPYCAT?

MAYBE. WHAT ARE YOU

DOING RIGHT NOW?

I WANT YOU TO

LOOK AT SOMETHING

I FOUND TODAY.

THERE IT IS.

STOP.

THERE'S A BREAK

IN THE CORN.

THEY CAME IN HERE.

AND THEY CAME OUT HERE--

THE LAPPS' BARN.

WE'RE BREATHING

HIS AIR.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

SALLY?

COME IN.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE

SOME MORE HOT WATER.

ALL CONTRIBUTIONS

GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED.

THANK YOU.

I NEVER KNEW YOU HAD

SUCH BEAUTIFUL HAIR.

UHH.

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT A WOMAN'S

HAIR IS HER CROWNING GLORY.

THAT'S WHY WE COVER IT WITH

OUR PRAYER COVERINGS.

IT'S MEANT TO BE SEEN

ONLY BY OUR HUSBANDS.

THAT IS LOVELY.

WHAT A GIFT.

IT IS.

DO YOU HAVE A HUSBAND?

NO.

BUT I HAVE SOMEONE I LOVE.

DO YOU HAVE

A BOYFRIEND?

NO.

BUT I HAVE SOMEONE

I LOVE TOO.

THE BOY

YOU WERE WITH AT

THE FARMERS MARKET?

YOU SAW HIM?

HE WAS VERY HANDSOME.

HE IS.

MOTHER WON'T LET ME

SEE HIM ANYMORE.

WHY NOT?

SHE DOESN'T APPROVE

OF HIS FATHER...

BUT SAM'S GOOD.

HE'S NOT AT ALL

LIKE HIS FATHER.

I'M SORRY.

SO YOU AREN'T

SEEING HIM ANYMORE?

IT'S A SIN TO DISOBEY

YOUR PARENTS.

BUT WOULD YOU SEE HIM?

NO.

THAT MUST MAKE YOU

VERY SAD.

DISOBEYING MY MOTHER

WOULD MAKE ME EVEN SADDER.

GOOD NIGHT.

THANK YOU.

SAM, YOU CAN'T BE HERE.

MY MOTHER WILL SEE YOU.

I LIE IN BED THINKING

ABOUT YOU, RACHEL,

AND I CAN'T SLEEP.

SAM, YOU MUST GO.

KISS ME. ONCE.

[ANNIE]

RACHEL!

GO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

MUCH BETTER.

NOW, DON'T SPARE

MY FEELINGS.

I DON'T WANT

MY WORK TO DESTROY

ITS MARKET VALUE.

EVERY LABOR

GIVEN IN LOVE

IS A BLESSING.

I TELL MY GIRLS THAT

EVERYTHING THEY DO

IS AN ACT OF CREATION,

NO MATTER

HOW SMALL THE JOB

NOR HOW MANY TIMES

IT'S DONE.

WHAT A LOVELY THOUGHT.

HUH. WELL,

IT'S WORKING SO FAR.

[LAUGHTER]

HAVE YOU LADIES

KNOWN EACH OTHER LONG?

JUST A LIFETIME.

HOW WONDERFUL.

DOES EVERY FAMILY

IN THE VALLEY

KNOW EACH OTHER?

NO. WE DIVIDE

OUR COMMUNITIES INTO

CHURCH DISTRICTS.

AND SINCE WE TAKE TURNS

HOLDING CHURCH SERVICES

IN OUR HOMES,

WE CAN'T LET A DISTRICT

GET TOO LARGE.

SO YOU GET TO KNOW

EVERYONE IN YOUR

CHURCH DISTRICT?

YES. WE'LL ALL BE

AT ANNIE'S BARN RAISING.

AT A WEDDING

LIKE SARAH'S,

EVERYONE IN THE CHURCH

DISTRICT ATTENDS?

WELL,

ALMOST EVERYONE.

WHY WOULDN'T

SOMEONE ATTEND?

PERHAPS ILLNESS.

TMEIDUNG.

IT'S THE SHUNNING.

IS SOMEONE IN THE DISTRICT

BEING SHUNNED RIGHT NOW?

YES--

JACOB HOSTETLER.

MAY I ASK WHY?

HE DEFIED

THE CHURCH ELDERS.

DOES HE BECOME AN ENEMY

OF THE COMMUNITY?

NO. AS SOON

AS HE ACCEPTS

OUR WAYS AGAIN,

THE COMMUNITY

ACCEPTS HIM.

YOU MAKE

MORE CHANGE THROUGH

LOVE THAN CONFLICT.

I WAS TOLD THAT

SOME AMISH FAMILIES

HAVE FEUDS.

OH, THAT'S JUST GOSSIP.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

MR. DIXON.

OH, MR. DIXON.

WE HAVE SOME ENGLISH

WHO ARE FRIENDS

AND SOME

WHO DO BUSINESS...

AND SOME,

LIKE MR. DIXON,

WHO DO BUSINESS

BY SEEMING LIKE FRIENDS.

VERY NICE.

I'LL GIVE YOU $200.

LOOK AT THIS DETAIL.

THIS IS MUSEUM QUALITY.

UHM.

$250.

BUT THAT'S MY FINAL OFFER.

ANNIE, I NOTICED SOME LARGER

STORES DOWN THE STREET.

$300.

$500.

WHA.. WHERE'S MY PROFIT?

$350.

WHERE'S OURS.

$500.

$400, FINAL.

$450, FINAL.

DEAL.

DEAL?

DEAL.

MR. DIXON.

HI.

ANNIE,

WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME

A MINUTE, PLEASE?

OF COURSE.

I WANT TO TALK

TO YOU.

I COULD GET YOU

IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.

FOR WHAT?

IMPERSONATING A YUPPIE

OR FOR SEEING

YOUR OTHER FACE?

NO. FOR LYING TO ME.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

AND WHAT YOU'VE

BEEN SAYING ABOUT ME.

YOU'VE BEEN SLANDERING

MY GOOD NAME

IN THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU'VE DONE THAT

ALL BY YOURSELF,

MR. DIXON.

CONSIDER

THE IMPLICATIONS

OF YOUR THREATS.

YOU KNOW

YOU'RE ALREADY

UNDER INVESTIGATION.

LOOK, I DON'T

HAVE TO BURN BARNS

TO SELL PROPERTY.

AND YOU HAVE

NO REASON TO BELIEVE,

NOT ONE IOTA OF PROOF

THAT I HAVE.

YOU'VE HOVERED

OVER THESE PEOPLE

LIKE A VULTURE,

TRYING TO INTIMIDATE

THEM INTO SELLING

THEIR LAND

WITH

WELL-CHOSEN WORDS.

WHY NOT ACTIONS?

THAT'S PATHETIC.

SOMETIMES I SAY THINGS

TO MAKE A SALE.

THOSE ARE

ESSENTIAL LIES.

DON'T TELL ME THAT

YOU DON'T TELL THEM,

THAT YOU HAVEN'T TOLD

A FEW TO THOSE PEOPLE.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME,

MR. DIXON.

YES, IT IS.

YOU'RE DESPERATE,

YOU'RE BATTING ZERO,

AND YOU'RE AFRAID

OF GETTING SACKED,

SO YOU'RE INVENTING SUSPECTS

AND USING PEOPLE.

HEY, I UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE ALL JUST

DOING BUSINESS.

OH, LOOK.

OH, JUST LET US

TAKE ONE PICTURE.

WOULD YOU MIND HAVING

A LITTLE RESPECT, PLEASE?

ANNIE.

WE'RE JUST A CURIOSITY

TO MOST PEOPLE.

I'M SORRY, ANNIE,

ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US.

DID MR. DIXON UPSET YOU?

NO.

ANNIE, THE LADIES

SPOKE OF A MAN

BEING SHUNNED.

JACOB HOSTETLER.

WHY?

HE BUILT A BARN

THAT WAS DIFFERENT

WITH ELECTRICITY

OR TECHNOLOGY THAT

GAVE HIM AN ADVANTAGE?

NO. HE BUILT A BARN

WITH AN ARCHED ROOF.

THAT'S IT?

ALL OF OUR BARNS ARE

BUILT WITH PEAKED ROOFS.

HE WAS SHUNNED

FOR BUILDING

A DIFFERENT ROOF?

ISN'T THAT

A LITTLE EXTREME?

HE WAS WARNED.

HE DEFIED THE ELDERS.

HE SHOWED PRIDE.

AND YOU APPROVE

OF THIS?

YOU FEEL THE SHUNNING

WAS APPROPRIATE?

I DO BELIEVE THAT

OUR CUSTOMS KEEP US TOGETHER

AND THAT IF SOMEONE

WANTS TO IGNORE OUR CUSTOMS,

THEN THEY'RE TRYING

TO BREAK WITH US...

OR BREAK US AS A GROUP.

IT'S NOT THE BARN

THAT'S DANGEROUS.

IT'S THE IMPULSE

THAT BUILT IT.

HI.

HELLO.

IS YOUR FATHER HOME?

NO.

DO YOU KNOW

WHEN HE'LL BE BACK?

NO.

WOULD YOU TELL HIM

I WAS HERE?

MY NAME

IS SALLY RUSSELL.

THERE'S A FEW QUESTIONS

I'D LIKE TO ASK HIM.

INTERESTING ROOF.

WHY DID YOUR FATHER

BUILD IT LIKE THIS?

IT IS

THE MOST PERFECT DESIGN,

MOST SENSIBLE,

MORE SPACE,

MORE OF GOD'S LIGHT

FOR THE ANIMALS.

I'M A FEDERAL AGENT.

MY NAME IS SALLY RUSSELL.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I HAVE

NO TIME TO SATISFY

YOUR CURIOSITY.

IT'S T CURIOSITY,

MR. HOSTETLER.

IT'S AN INVESTIGATION

INTO SOME SERIOUS CRIMES.

I KNOW NOTHING

ABOUT THEM.

YOU HAVE

YOUR WORK TO DO.

I HAVE MINE.

COME, NATHAN.

I NEED YOU.

YES, SAM IS

JACOB HOSTETLER'S SON.

YOUR MOTHER DOESN'T

APPROVE OF HIM

BECAUSE HIS FATHER'S

BEING SHUNNED?

YES, AND BECAUSE

SAM DID NOT OBEY

THE ORDINANCE

OF THE CHURCH ELDERS--

HE ATE AT

HIS FATHER'S TABLE.

RACHEL, WE HAVE

TO DISCUSS THIS

WITH YOUR MOTHER.

NO. SHE'LL THINK

I LIED TO HER.

I THINK YOU BOTH

LIED TO ME.

YOU'VE BEEN

SEEING SAM?

YES, MOTHER, BUT I--

I SAW THEM TOGETHER

AT THE FARMERS MARKET,

AND THEN AT THE BRIDGE.

I'M SORRY, RACHEL.

I WAS DOING MY JOB.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING

BECAUSE IT APPEARED INNOCENT.

HOW INNOCENT

COULD IT BE

IF HER MOTHER

HAS FORBIDDEN IT?

HE LOVES ME, MOTHER.

HE WANTED TO SEE ME

BECAUSE HE WAS WORRIED

ABOUT ME,

ABOUT ALL OF US

AFTER THE FIRE.

WHY DID YOU WANT

TO SEE HIM?

BECAUSE I LOVE HIM, TOO.

AND I HAD

TO TELL HIM

WHY I COULDN'T

SEE HIM ANYMORE.

HE KNEW, RACHEL.

DON'T PRETEND

TO WALK THE PATH

OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

WHILE YOU STRAY

FROM IT.

BUT I DID TELL HIM,

MOTHER...AT THE BRIDGE.

SHE DID, ANNIE.

I SAW HER SAY GOODBYE.

DID YOU COME

INTO MY HOME

TO PRY

INTO OUR LIVES?

WERE YOU PRETENDING

TO BE MY FRIEND?

NO, ANNIE.

I AM YOUR FRIEND.

PERHAPS I COULD HAVE

BEEN MORE HONEST WITH YOU.

BUT YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME

ABOUT THE HOSTETLERS.

YOU COULD HAVE BEEN

MORE OPEN WITH ME.

HEY. WHOA,

MISS INVESTIGATOR.

SCOTT!

HI, SAL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I ALWAYS WANTED TO

SEE A BARN RAISING.

WE CAME TO HELP.

THANK YOU.

AND WELCOME.

ANNIE BEILER,

I'D LIKE YOU TO

MEET SCOTT LIEBER.

IT'S A PLEASURE

TO MEET YOU.

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU HERE.

I TOLD HIM ABOUT

THE BARN RAISING.

CAN I BE

OF SOME HELP?

WE'RE HONORED

TO HAVE YOU.

KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

[MAN]

READY!

WE MISSED YOU

LAST NIGHT.

I MISSED BEING HERE.

BUT IT GAVE ME TIME

WITH SCOTT.

WE REALLY LOVE

EACH OTHER.

HE SEEMS LIKE

A VERY NICE MAN.

HE IS. AND THANKS TO YOU,

I REALIZE IT MORE THAN EVER.

ANNIE...I NEED TO

DO SOMETHING TODAY...

AND I'D LIKE

YOUR GUIDANCE.

[THUNDER]

MR. HOSTETLER.

I TOLD YOU I HAVE

NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

I'M TOO BUSY TO TALK.

NO DISRESPECT INTENDED,

BUT YOU MUST TALK TO ME.

I'M INVESTIGATING CRIMES FOR

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

YOUR GOVERNMENT

HAS NO AUTHORITY

OVER ME.

YOU ARE

A UNITED STATES CITIZEN,

AREN'T YOU, SIR?

PUT ANOTHER ONE

DOWN, SON.

DO YOU THINK THIS

IS A GOOD EXAMPLE

TO SET FOR YOUR SONS,

DEFYING THE AUTHORITY

OF THE GOVERNMENT,

YOUR CHURCH ELDERS,

YOUR COMMUNITY?

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT

TO DISCUSS MY FAMILY

OR MY

PERSONAL AFFAIRS.

GET OFF MY PROPERTY.

IF I LEAVE,

SOMEONE WILL ARREST YOU.

YOU'LL ANSWER MY QUESTIONS

IN CUSTODY.

IF GOD WILLS.

YOU CAN'T ARREST

MY FATHER!

HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING!

YOUR CHILDREN

HAVE LEARNED

YOUR LESSONS WELL.

THIS IS MY PROPERTY.

MY FAMILY HAS OWNED IT

FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

I KEEP MY FAITH.

I FOLLOW THE EDICTS

OF THE CHURCH ELDERS

REGARDLESS

OF HOW FOOLISH

OR ILL-CONSIDERED.

I DON'T USE

MILKING MACHINES,

I DON'T

USE TRACTORS,

BUT NO ONE TELLS ME

HOW TO BUILD

MY PROPERTY.

BUT ISN'T THAT

THE COVENANT YOU KEEP

WITH YOUR FAITH?

THAT YOU WILL OBEY

ALL THEIR EDICTS?

AND IF YOU DON'T,

YOU LOSE THE GRACE

OF THEIR FELLOWSHIP.

IF THAT IS ALL I LOSE,

I LOSE VERY LITTLE.

LOOK AT THE ANGER

IN YOUR FACE, SIR,

AND IN YOUR SONS' FACES.

I THINK YOU'VE LOST

MUCH MORE.

THAT IS MY AFFAIR.

WHEN IT LEADS TO

LOSS OF PROPERTY

AND ENDANGERS LIVES,

IT BECOMES MINE.

I KNOW YOU SET

THE FIRES.

MY FATHER DIDN'T SET

THOSE FIRES.

WHO DID, NATHAN?

I DID.

NATHAN!

WHAT ARE YOU

SAYING, SON?

HE'S JUST TRYING TO

PROTECT MY FATHER.

I KNOW, SAM.

NATHAN DIDN'T

SET THE FIRES.

THE FIRES WERE SET

BY A GROWN MAN,

SOMEONE STRONG ENOUGH

TO WHIP A HORSE

FROM ONE FARM

TO THE NEXT IN MINUTES

THE NIGHT OF

SARAH BEILER'S WEDDING.

THE ARSONIST BROKE A PATH

THROUGH A CORNFIELD

AT BISHOP LAPP'S FARM.

THE PATH WAS TOO WIDE

TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN BY A BOY.

IT WAS TRAMPLED BY A MAN

RIDING A HORSE...

A MAN WHO THOUGHT HE'D LOST

THE GIRL HE LOVED.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I HELPED THE LAPPS

WITH THEIR FIRE.

I PULLED

HALF THEIR LIVESTOCK

OUT OF THEIR BARN!

WHAT BETTER WAY TO THROW

SUSPICION OFF YOURSELF?

NO.

YOU HEARD HIM.

PLEASE LEAVE.

ANNIE BEILER TOLD ME

THE AMISH DON'T LIE.

WE DON'T.

NATHAN DID

TO PROTECT YOU.

SAM DID TO

PROTECT HIMSELF,

BUT THE GREATEST LIE

IS YOURS, MR. HOSTETLER...

BECAUSE IN YOUR HEART,

YOU KNOW WHAT

YOUR SON HAS DONE...

AND THAT YOUR PRIDE

HAS CAUSED IT.

I ASK YOU ONCE AGAIN--

LEAVE MY PROPERTY.

[THUNDER]

WHILE JUDGING

MY NEIGHBORS...

I HAVE SINNED.

SALLY, WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, THEY WERE UNITED

IN THEIR DEFIANCE.

ANNIE, I'VE COME TO

ADMIRE YOUR PEOPLE,

BUT THIS SHUNNING,

IT'S VERY CRUEL.

WE LIVE

BY OUR RULES.

WELL, SOMETIMES RULES

CREATE THE PROBLEMS.

OR PREVENT

GREATER ONES,

PERHAPS.

[MAN]

LOOK! IT'S SAM!

[MAN]

LOOK, IT'S

THE HOSTETLER BOY.

SAM.

FORGIVE ME,

RACHEL.

FORGIVE ME.

I HAVE SINNED

AGAINST MY FAMILY,

MY NEIGHBORS.

I SET THE FIRES!

FORGIVE ME.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

MR. GARRISON...

WE ARE HERE TO ESCORT

OUR SAMUEL TO THE COURTHOUSE.

DESPISE THE SIN,

NOT THE SINNER.

YOUR FAMILY IS

WITH YOU, SON.

ALL OF US.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE LEAVING TODAY?

YES.

WHEN TWO LIVES TOUCH,

THEY CAN NEVER AGAIN

BE COMPLETELY SEPARATED.

WE MAKE MISTAKES...

BUT WHEN ONE OF US

FALLS IN HIS JOURNEY...

WE HELP THEM UP.

WE COULD LEARN

FROM YOU.

I HAVE.
