Send text to Tess.

Everything okay? Did something happen?

Send text to Tess.

Don't be. Been through a lot.

I can come home.

Send text to Tess.

Hey, honey.

I decided to come home.

We can watch a movie, pop some popcorn.

See you soon.

Oh. Tess. Tess.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

I am almost ready, but we should hurry.

Okay, well, I'm ready if you are.

Oh. Jebediah!

What are you doing here? - I'm so sorry, Mrs. Miller.

I caught a glimpse of Bethany when I was coming up the road.

I... I knocked, but no one answered.

I just wanted to make sure everyone was okay.

Yes, we're fine.

You might help her pick those up?

Of course.

Well, it's nice to see you.

Isn't it, Bethany?

So you're back from your Rumspringa?

Yes, ma'am.

Thought you'd be gone longer.

Your father and mother must be excited

for your return.

Uh, yes, they are.

They think it's time I find someone

and start my family.

Oh, what happened there?

Oh, I, um...

Yeah, I... I cut myself working on my cart.

Yeah. Jagged edge got me.

You two should go sit on the porch.

I thought we had to get to the farmer's market.

Well, you can spare a few minutes.

He made the effort to come see you.

You must have a lot of catching up.

Yeah. Let's go.

So, how was it?

Your Rumspringa?

It was fine.

Come on. You must have some stories.

No, I don't.

You must have gotten into some trouble.

No, I didn't.

I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean to upset you.

I'm just curious...

since I'm never going to experience one.

There's nothing really to say.

It's not our world.

It just...

constantly tests you on what's right and wrong.

It just wasn't for me.

He'll make a great husband.

Give you a good life. Lots of children.

I know. - Then show it.

He has always liked you.

There aren't many others near your age.

After him, you'd have to wait for a widower.

Do you mind if I wander around a bit?

Sure. Oh, Bethany.

Take some samples

and try to get people over to our table.

It's so cute. I love it.

Apologies.

Hi.

Hi.

May I try one? - Yeah, of course.

This is amazing.

You made this? - Yes.

Well, my mother and I did.

We grow the berries ourselves.

Reminds me of the jam my mother used to make.

Are you selling it? - Over there.

So, where are you from?

Pennsylvania.

So, do you... You have family here?

No. My family is from Smicksburg.

If you don't have family here, what are you doing here?

Yes, friend.

What are you doing here?

Visiting.

I came to stop by your community

when I came across...

Bethany.

I'm Seth.

Recently lost my family.

So, looking for a fresh start.

So, you seek out comfort...

in strangers?

I don't consider any fellow Amish strangers.

I consider us all family. Don't you?

And we would happily welcome

any Amish brethren with open arms.

Wait, you guys are so cute in your little outfits.

Are you guys really Amish

or is this some sort of cosplay thing?

No, we're... we're Amish.

Okay, I need a picture then.

No. - Smile.

Thank you.

But it's just for my Insta.

Well, we prefer not to have our picture taken.

Do you know how pathetic that is?

How pathetic you guys really look?

Pathetic is seeking validation through a soulless gadget.

And your Insta. Whatever that is.

Yeah? Well, screw you!

Enjoy the rest of your day.

That was amazing. - I've dealt with worse.

Seth, let me, uh... Let me introduce you around.

Is that all right? - That'd be great.

Good night, Bethany.

Good night, Mom.

Mom?

Yeah?

When did you know that you loved Dad

and that you wanted to marry him?

We grew up together,

so I don't remember ever not loving him.

So, you could say

that you loved him from the moment you met.

That you just knew.

I guess so.

But the strongest foundation for any relationship

is one of trust.

And that can only be developed over time.

Okay.

Have a good night. - Good night, Mom.

Hello? Who's there?

Sorry.

Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

You must be Seth. My daughter spoke of you.

Uh, you're the one who makes that excellent jam.

Thank you.

Is there something I can help you with?

Well, you see, I got up early this morning

to enjoy the countryside, and I...

I think I enjoyed it a little too much.

You're lost.

Yes, ma'am.

I can walk you back to town.

Oh, that'd be great. Thank you.

I'm supposed to meet with the elders this morning.

See if I can stay and work, make myself useful.

I really like it here.

I know Elder Emmanuel very well.

I can speak with him.

And that's what brought me to this place.

And to seek acceptance

in this wonderful, wonderful community.

If this story is true

about some wayward Amish community,

I just hope none of that trouble follows you here.

There will be no trouble.

Not from me or anyone from my former community.

I just wanna live a God-fearing life.

Work hard. Contribute where I can.

You can leave us.

If my husband was here with you,

I know what his position would be.

We need to open our arms to this young man.

It's our way.

And the only trouble we'll have

is by not living in accordance with what we practice.

By not living what you preach.

Thank you.

That was above and beyond.

They could see it as insolence,

so I may have hurt your cause more than helped it.

We need to speak with you.

No, no, no.

Not you.

You.

Yes. Awesome.

Sorry, I must have picked that up during Rumspringa.

I take it the decision wasn't unanimous?

If that's what was required,

no decision would ever be made.

But because of my speech,

the council has made a request of me.

That it's my home

that is opened for you to live and stay.

Really? Are you sure you're okay with this?

I wouldn't be a woman of God,

or of my word, if I wasn't.

We have a backhouse that's perfectly suitable.

Let me show you the way.

I can't even imagine what you've seen on your travels.

There's Mother.

Ah, here we are.

Odd that he came directly here, no?

Oh, he'll be around. He's courting her.

What are you two talking about?

Oh, I was just telling your mother about

all the wonderful places I've been to on Rumspringa.

Jebediah, you're here.

You saw me.

Uh, Bethany, can you gather fresh linens for Seth?

We need to make up the backhouse for him.

Of course.

Jebediah, we need to get Seth settled,

so if you don't mind, I'm sure Bethany would be fine

seeing you tomorrow.

Let me show you where you'll be staying.

Why is your hand on me, brother?

You're not my brother.

I'm gonna be watching you.

Seth!

Gotta go.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Well, I can get that.

Oh, I can do your dirties.

Please, that's all right. You've done enough for me.

And I'm used to doing my own things anyway.

Something's bothering me,

so I thought I'd bring it up with you now.

Mother always said,

"The unspoken still speaks, but in ugly ways."

You lied earlier.

It was very tiny, but it was still a lie.

You told Jebediah that you didn't see him.

Sorry.

I guess I just wanted to annoy him

for the way he treated me at the meeting

and the way that he looked at me out there.

He's in a position that could cause you real trouble.

Just be careful. - Of course.

It won't happen again,

even if it is just to annoy Jebediah.

Thank you. - Here you go.

Thank you.

I just wanted to say good night.

Good night, Mother.

Mother, I like looking out at the stars to fall asleep.

Now that we have a guest,

a male guest, staying at our property,

you need to be a little more discreet.

Okay? - Yes, Mother.

The last thing either of us needs

is some drama between Jebediah and Seth.

Hey.

You need any help?

I've got it.

You know, I feel like I need to contribute around here.

At least earn my keep.

You don't need to do that.

But you could stay.

Keep me company.

You wanna go for a walk? Show me around?

Sure.

What do you like to do when you're not doing chores?

Sew, talk with my friends. Go to the farmer's market.

Off that, the other day, at the farmer's market,

I saw you ball a fist.

You ever thrown a punch?

No.

Wanna learn how?

Yeah.

All right, so what you wanna do is get a good base,

put your hands up, ball a fist,

keep the wrist strong, all right?

Okay. So, let me see you throw a punch.

Uh... - Come on.

That was nice. - Okay.

One more time.

That was pretty good.

Now, what you wanna do is punch through it,

not to it, okay?

So, turn the hips and through.

How do you mean?

Just turn the hips and extend the arm.

That was nice. Turn the hips.

There we go. That's good.

Okay. - Try it again.

Ouch!

Liar.

Where did you learn this?

I'd like to know that too.

My mom.

I don't know how it was in your old community,

but here we live a life of tolerance, non-violence.

I swear it, Mrs. Miller, I never raised my hand

to another man or woman.

I always turn the other cheek.

Then why would you need to ever throw a punch?

Well, we had the most stubbornest mule

in our community, and the only way to get him

to work was a solid pop on the nose.

Time for lunch.

Will Seth be joining us? - We'll give him a plate,

but it needs to be just you and I at the table.

Sorry, Mrs. Miller. I meant nothing by it.

It's okay. No harm done.

Come by later for your lunch.

Is there any reason why Seth couldn't join us?

He's our guest.

We wouldn't want anyone, especially Jebediah,

getting the wrong idea.

Well, it's on him if he's getting jealous

when he shouldn't be.

He is courting you.

You should be sensitive to his feelings

and how you're being perceived.

Okay, so am I not even supposed to talk to Seth now?

Of course you can speak with him.

Then what are you saying?

Bethany. Tone.

All I am saying

is that we need to establish some rules.

Like what?

Like, for starters...

you should never be with Seth alone.

Even if it's outside.

Eat your lunch.

Mother, look at that.

Not very welcoming.

They'll warm eventually.

Just give it time.

Hey there.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Having lunch. We're not alone.

I don't think that's the best idea.

Powerful sermon today.

Yes.

Seems not everyone was listening

to the Parable of the Laborers.

"So the last will be first and the first will be last."

Those humble and overlooked will be honored in heaven

before those of arrogance and power.

I will sit with Seth.

But please go to the other table.

Will you walk home with Mother and I?

Of course.

I could, uh...

I could use a hand chopping some firewood.

You know how to do that, don't you?

What good Amish doesn't?

Excellent.

Could you tell me whose land we'll be at,

so I can meet you there? - Oh, you'll already be there.

Ready?

After you.

You quitting?

Not even close.

I could go all night.

Oh. I guess that's that?

No, I'm fine. It's just... it's just a cramp.

Okay, that's a sign you've both done enough for the day.

Some water. Here.

You have our gratitude.

Help me with dinner.

Need any help getting home?

No, I'm fine.

I was thinking of going for a swim in the pond.

Doing some laps. Care to join?

Then again, cramps and swimming aren't a good mix.

See you.

"And when they were in the field."

"Cain stood up against his brother Abel and killed him."

I'm not going to kill you.

I just wanted to talk. Man-to-man.

Out here? Alone?

I know that you like her.

But I'm going to be the one to marry her.

She doesn't get a say in that?

You have no ties here, Seth.

You could go right now and you would be nothing

but a fleeting memory of a guy who showed up one time.

This is my home.

Is it? And I'm making it my home too.

I can make life very difficult for you, Seth.

You know that? I know people in Smicksburg.

It'd be very easy for me to find the real reason

why you're no longer part of that community.

Making threats isn't very Amish of you, brother.

It's one of the reasons I left Smicksburg.

Men like you.

Hello? Someone there?

Who is that?

No, no, no, no, no, no!

I didn't come here to talk man-to-man.

I just came here to kill you.

What's going on?

Oh, something's happened.

Oh, Jebediah is dead.

What?

An accident in his barn.

That's awful. Let me know if I can help.

What are you doing?

I wanted to see you. Make sure you're doing okay.

Did I wake you?

No, I couldn't sleep. - Me neither.

I might take a walk

and get my mind off all the grieving and stuff.

Where are you gonna go?

A secret place.

Last time I went, it was really fun.

Put me in a good mood.

Wanna go?

Seth.

No pressure.

If you change your mind though,

meet me in the clearing.

I'm so glad you came.

Me too.

So...

where's this secret little spot of yours?

Who said anything about it being little?

Come on.

Um...

this is where you wanted to bring me?

I thought you might like to experience

how the English live.

We're going inside?

This isn't our home. - No.

We're just gonna look around.

We're not gonna steal anything.

Besides, nobody's home. Consider it a vacation.

People in your community,

the boys, they get an entire month.

You can have a couple of hours.

You're not gonna hurt anyone.

Let me see your hairpin.

What for?

Will you just trust me?

Come on.

If we're gonna pretend to be English...

at least let your hair down.

Want a beer?

I thought you said we weren't gonna take anything.

I know. I was just kidding.

Come on, let's check out the rest of the house.

Seth?

Seth!

You have got to try this.

Come on, lay down.

I promise you, I will stay on this side of the bed.

There's plenty of room for two.

Um...

This is what I imagine laying on a cloud would feel like.

Thank you for this.

You're welcome.

I hope to be here and thank you a lot more.

I wanna keep surprising you.

I think life should be just full of surprises.

I can't wait to tell my mom about us.

Wait, you can't.

I don't keep anything from her.

Bethany, she won't understand.

All right?

You gotta keep this between you and I.

It's our little secret.

Okay.

Um...

Sorry.

It's okay.

We gotta go.

We gotta go. Get your stuff.

Seth! Oh, my bonnet. - Go.

Bethany!

Bethany, it's getting late.

I know you're still struggling from the loss,

but we can't just lay in bed all day.

I'm getting up.

Hi.

Think it's all right if I stay with you?

Please.

Mrs. Miller?

Yes, Mother?

Are you done with your chores?

Seth.

Would you like to join us for dinner tonight?

Sure. I'd love to.

Is there any particular reason for the invite?

Everything okay?

You shouldn't be eating alone all the time.

It's not good for the soul. - Yes, ma'am.

Thank you again, Mrs. Miller.

I really appreciate dinner, along with everything else.

You're welcome, Seth.

I just hope you're not taking advantage of the situation.

Mom?

If you feel as if I'm not pulling my weight,

please, give me more to do.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about you and you.

Well, if you feel like

we haven't respected each other,

we have, and I've respected your home.

Is that why you're sneaking out into the woods together?

The mud I found on your dress

matches the mud on Seth's shoes.

Bethany can speak for herself.

As you know, I love the woods.

And if Bethany happens to also love the woods,

then something we have in common.

I'm sorry, I can't lie to her.

We were in the woods together.

And what were you doing in the woods together?

We just walked and we talked. That's it, just talked.

We won't do it again.

That'll have to be proven. That's the thing about trust.

It's built over time, but in an instant,

it can come crashing down, slow to be built once again.

Seth, I think it's best you go back to your room.

Thank you again, Mrs. Miller.

You directly disobeyed me.

I just wanted to spend time with him.

And you told me that we couldn't do it

where people could see us.

And you think sneaking around was the better choice?

What if someone had seen you?

And so soon after Jebediah's death?

We were careful.

That doesn't make this any better.

You've left me no choice.

Tomorrow, I'm going to inquire

about a new place for Seth to live.

No!

Because he can no longer live here.

Bethany. - Mm-hmm.

Tomorrow I want you to come to town with me.

I have my chores. - You'll have time to do them.

I think it's time for you to get a new dress.

You just don't want me here alone.

With him.

Two things can be true.

You do need a new dress,

and I don't want you to be alone with him.

What are you doing?

It's time for me to go.

Just because of my mother? Is that why you're leaving?

Your mother loves you, Bethany.

She just wants what's best for you.

I could just... - Just what?

You gonna hit her?

Do something worse?

Make it simpler.

Come with me.

What? No.

I couldn't.

Why not?

I've shown you enough of the English world.

Let's go explore together, you and I.

I'll escort you on your very own Rumspringa.

I'd have to let Mother know.

You do that, you're just gonna start another fight.

I mean, at least leave her a note.

She'll find us. Send people looking for us.

You ever heard the expression, it's better to ask

for forgiveness than permission?

It's now or never, Bethany. I gotta get moving.

Bethany, breakfast!

Bethany!

I wish you wouldn't ignore me

when I'm... calling you.

Bethany?

Bethany!

Bethany!

"Meet me at the clearing."

We can go anywhere you like.

Just tell me where you wanna go, and we'll do it.

No, I know exactly where I want to go.

I wanna go every place that my dad

visited on his Rumspringa.

When was the last time you saw her?

Last night.

And this morning, I went into her room,

and she had stuffed a pillow under the sheets.

How old's your daughter?

Nineteen.

And had you two been fighting?

No, not really.

But she has started acting different ever since

this new boy started living on our property.

So they could've run off together.

Or he could've took her.

Were there any signs that something bad had happened?

Signs that your daughter was hurt, like blood?

Oh, goodness, no.

No, just all his stuff was gone,

like he had cleared out.

I know this can be upsetting.

Here's my card.

If you come across any signs

that she was taken against her will, call me.

But right now,

there's not much I can do.

She's an adult. She has a right to leave home.

You're just gonna have to wait to hear from her.

Ma'am?

Are you okay? Do you need any help?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Okay, come with me, please.

This is him.

Let me call you back.

Are you sure it's the same man?

He doesn't look like this now.

He's clean-shaven, thinner in the face.

He told us he was Amish.

But he lied to us.

Give me a minute.

Oh, thank you, Lord.

I'm... I'm sorry.

This isn't your guy.

How can you be so sure?

This man is dead.

That can't be. It says so right here.

He died in a fire.

This looks like him.

Do you have a photo of him that I can see?

No one has a camera.

Well, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.

May I take this with me

in case my daughter comes back?

Yeah. You can.

Are you crying?

Come on, don't cry. You're gonna make me cry.

It's just so beautiful.

I wish my mom could see this.

Not just on a postcard.

The girl's name is Tess Harrison.

She died about a year ago.

I'm looking for any information about her.

Wanted for murder...

Okay.

There's a website. Justice for Tess.

Is there more?

Oh, there's a place where you can leave a message.

Yes, please. - Yeah.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Yeah, this is the most excitement

I've had all day, so...

Um... what do you wanna say?

Hey, bro. Look at this.

I didn't know we had your type around these parts.

My type? - Yeah.

You're, uh... You're Amish, right?

Yes. - Ain't you a little, uh...

off the reservation?

I don't live on a reservation.

It's a figure of speech, gorgeous.

Why don't you step away from her?

Oh, yeah?

Your type don't believe in violence, so, uh,

what are you gonna do about it, hmm?

Oh, please!

If you try anything like that again...

I'll kill you!

Come on, Seth, let's go.

What happened, man?

I can't believe you just hit that guy.

Listen, people around here, they're not like us.

They're gonna try to take advantage of you, Bethany.

You gotta fight for yourself, all right?

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

Because if there's one thing in this world

worth fighting for, it's you.

Okay?

And that's when I came into the house,

and I found her there on the floor.

And...

in my mind...

I thought I could save her.

But in my heart, I knew she was gone.

And the police turned around. They botched everything else.

And I knew he didn't die in that fire.

He's too much of a cockroach to die that easily.

And the police, they didn't have any DNA

or dental records to check against the body.

And he knew that.

By dying, he gave them a convenient way

to sweep it under the rug.

I... I can't imagine your pain.

Well, uh...

it seems that we both really need to find this man.

Yes.

Where would they go?

I don't know. Where would Seth...

Jack...

Take Tess?

Well, when they first started dating,

he was so loving towards her.

It was all about her and where she wanted to go.

So the question isn't where Jack would take her.

It's where would your daughter take him?

Where would she wanna go?

All the places her dad went on his Rumspringa.

It's all she ever talks about.

You look amazing.

I do? - Absolutely.

Now we don't have to worry about

being harassed for being Amish.

We can finally walk around carefree.

Feels nice, doesn't it?

Yeah.

We need to start somewhere new.

I know a place.

Where is it?

You'll see.

Who lives here?

Come on.

All right. Come here.

Uh, hey, do you have a hairpin?

Oh, yeah.

What do you think you're doing?

Whoa, Mom, it's me.

It's me.

Oh, baby. Sweetie.

I knew in my gut you were okay.

Who's this?

Ma, this is Bethany.

And, uh...

Well, we're in love.

Of all the stupid things to go and do.

It's not your fault, honey. I'm sure you're sweet as pie.

It's my son here that I'm disappointed in.

Well, uh, if you don't approve, Mom, we can go.

All right, quit being so dramatic.

Look at the two of you. You're much too skinny.

I got to put some meat on those bones.

Plus, there's too much to do around here.

This whole house has been falling apart since you left.

Now, I'm no traditionalist,

but I know how you kids can get.

You put her in the guest room,

and you take your old room.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna go heat you up some stew.

You can get settled.

Maybe it's wishful thinking that this is where they'd go.

It's okay.

Let's... let's just see

if we can find anybody

who's seen a couple of Amish kids.

Yeah, man, so... I don't know.

There's more of ya? Y'all are spawning like gnats.

Have you seen an Amish couple around here?

Yeah. The guy jumped me yesterday.

Sucker-punched me, really.

I thought you Amish were supposed to be nonviolent.

Is this him?

Yeah, it looks like the dude.

Wait, you're telling me that Amish guy is a killer?

Like, a real killer?

Are they here? - No.

We haven't seen them since the little scuffle yesterday.

I need you to call the police, file an assault charge,

and tell them this guy jumped you.

I'm not gonna do that, lady. - The police think he's dead.

He's taken her daughter, and he's killed mine.

And you're not gonna do anything?

I'm sorry, but talking to the police ain't my thing.

If you're scared of him,

you have no idea what I'm willing to do to bring justice

for my little girl. - Jenny...

Maybe I'll come after you too.

Come on, let's go, man.

I was worried someone might

still be watching the house.

Well, about a week after you got declared dead,

they came pulling up, and then they went home.

You convinced them good with that guy in the shack.

Almost convinced me.

Who was that?

Just some nobody trying to stay hidden like me.

So where'd you find the girl?

What in the hell is this?

Uh... she's Amish, Mom.

What? - That's where she comes from.

This is rich.

You're not Amish?

Neither of you.

Have you ever been?

Nope. I can't say we've ever been Amish.

We were snake handlers for a time, but that's about it.

If you're worried whether he was raised to fear God,

I took care of that part just fine.

I'd like to leave. - Beth, wait.

Now, please. - Please, hang on a sec.

Is this a lover's quarrel?

The first of many, I assume?

Look, you don't have to wear this stuff anymore, all right?

You're free of that place.

I never said I wanted to be free of it.

All you could talk about was the outside world,

and I've shown that to you.

Well, not completely free of it.

Listen, when we met, at that moment,

if I was just some regular guy,

you wouldn't have spoken to me.

It gave us a chance to discover something.

And please, please forgive me.

It was... it was a lie,

but it might give us something really special.

I don't know.

It's getting late.

All right? Just sleep on it, okay?

And in the morning, if you still wanna go back,

I will deliver you to your mom.

You really do love her, don't you?

I was just looking for a place to hide out.

Somewhere with no social media, no cameras.

You know, nothing like that in those communities.

And then...

I met her.

So yeah, Mom, I...

I love her.

God help us.

You've been kind of quiet since we left the campground.

Just reflecting.

You do that a lot?

You threatened that man.

I did.

Did you mean it?

No. I didn't even get his name.

I'm just tired of running into walls.

I've... I've been at this for a year,

trying to get information from witnesses, police,

even so-called friends.

And if it's one thing I've learned, it's that...

people aren't gonna do anything

out of the goodness of their hearts.

You need a key, honey.

Um...

You said you were gonna give it the night.

I just wanted some air.

I never took your kind to be liars.

No, I...

I wouldn't double down on the lying right now.

You're in enough trouble.

Come on. - Ow!

He's taking you to where everyone in this family

goes to repent.

I thought you loved me.

I do.

Why do you think I'm doing this, huh?

Why do you think I didn't discard you

just like the others?

Others?

From the moment we met, you saw me.

You liked me.

And it wasn't just because you thought I was Amish.

Please, don't try to escape again.

You're just gonna make things worse.

Don't put me in a position to ruin your life.

You made me kill Jebediah.

What?

You killed him?

Why would you do that?

Well, that's what you do when you love somebody.

You'd do anything for the other person

so you could be with that person.

And I'd have to tell everybody back at the community

what you did if you tried to run back to them.

It's time for some reflection.

No, Seth! Please don't leave me!

Please don't leave me! Please don't leave me, please!

No, please!

Please!

Good morning.

How'd you sleep?

I brought you a perfectly balanced breakfast

to get your energy levels up.

What's going on? You're not feeling well, huh?

Well, that's no way to react to me.

Don't you ever shy away from my touch.

Hey, sit up.

Come on, sit up.

Listen, you know this is temporary, right?

All you have to do is repent.

I'm sorry about last night.

I just... I panicked in the new house,

new surroundings.

Finally.

It's the first honest thing you've said

since I brought you home to meet Mom.

And I would like to see my mother.

By abandoning me?

No, I'll come back. I swear.

You're lying.

I'm not.

When you told your mother you followed me

into the forest...

you were picking your nails just like you're doing now.

What are you gonna do to me?

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm just gonna love you.

That hasn't changed.

Now eat your breakfast.

I checked with security at the trail.

They haven't seen them.

Yeah, I haven't had much luck here either.

People around here don't seem to wanna talk much.

I'm sorry.

I wish the world worked the way

you think it does, but it just doesn't.

But we don't let that stop us.

No matter what it may do to us,

no matter how it may change us,

we don't quit.

We keep going for our daughters.

You know, that night that Tess was killed,

I was in my car, I got a sharp pain in my gut.

And that's what caused me to turn around and head home.

Yes. That was God.

He was giving you a sign to be with her.

All I was trying to say is that

if you haven't gotten that feeling,

then... then there's hope.

A mother is always connected to her child.

If only Jack's mother was still alive.

She is.

Do you know where she lives?

No.

But I bet my attorney could find her address.

Hey, babe.

What's this?

You haven't touched your lunch?

Do you understand what a waste this is?

I don't want anything from you

until you let me see my mother.

I was trying to be nice to you

by bringing you some fresh clothes

and water so you can clean yourself up.

I never got this.

This is repentance. All right?

Ma has rules in this house, and you don't wanna know

what happens if you don't follow the rules.

I don't want these clothes or anything else.

She's still not acting right?

Might be time for a lashing or two.

No.

I know you want her untouched by the leather.

You have a good, kind heart.

Think of this as a rite of passage.

This is what our family does.

It's what we've always done to become one.

She'll get better, Mom,

by being down there, all right? Just...

Just like I did.

It doesn't look like anyone's here.

Someone's home. I can feel it.

It's Bethany's mom.

And Tess's.

See? People are gonna start coming around

sooner than we thought.

You need to get down to the basement

and keep that girl quiet.

You tell her I hear one peep out of her,

I'll kill them.

What do I owe this pleasure?

We're here to talk about Jack.

He's dead.

He's alive.

It's not funny.

Hey, we've got to be quiet. - Someone's here?

I saw him. I've spoken to him.

Even allowed him to stay on my property.

What are you supposed to be?

Just a mother who wants to find her daughter.

And your Jack's not dead.

And he's taken her daughter.

That's a lie.

Hey.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Get your sweet little butt back here.

I didn't give no permission for you to be

wandering around my property.

I don't know what kind of game this is.

Or if you're just trying to mess with me.

But you should get in your car and go.

If we ask nicely,

is there's only a chance you'd let us look around.

For what?

To see if you've had any guests lately.

Oh, so you can plant some evidence?

I just wanna help this woman find her daughter.

I'm sorry. I can't help you.

Okay.

Let's go.

I think I heard something in the house.

I don't think she was alone.

Then we have to go back.

Let's call the police.

And tell them what?

That we heard a noise?

They're just gonna say they need more.

Just like that detective did with you.

Just like he did with me with Tess.

Trust me, they're not gonna do anything until he's ripped

your daughter's life away from you.

Hey, they gone?

But they'll be back.

Could be tomorrow. Could be a week.

Could be a month.

First things first, dear.

We've got to move your girl.

Why are we stopping here?

What... what are you doing with that?

It's just for protection.

Jenny?

What are you doing?

Jenny?

You can't seriously be considering using that.

This will not solve anything.

If you have a problem with what I'm about to do,

don't come with me.

You're being selfish.

Excuse me?

Selfish?

Because this is no longer about your daughter or mine.

This is about you and what you want.

Because I am the only one here.

Because Tess is gone.

And I'm never getting her back.

I know.

That night, he didn't just steal Tess away from me.

He took away every future moment

we would've had together.

Movies I can't watch with her.

Songs I can't sing with her.

Because the memories, they are just too much.

Maybe the answer isn't turning away from those things.

I want this to be over.

I wanna stop being so angry at everyone and everything.

And I just want her back.

Maybe, just maybe,

this isn't about what you want.

Or what I want.

But what would Tess want?

Jenny?

Jenny!

We need to get moving.

So please don't make this difficult.

Where are you taking me?

A place where we can be

completely alone for a while.

Now...

are you gonna make this tough on me?

I won't fight if you just tell me where.

Just a little old cabin, outside of town.

Is it because of the people who came by earlier?

We need to move.

Oh, my bonnet!

Where do you think you're going?

Stop! Let her go!

Oh, so you can shoot me when I do?

Where's your friend?

Where's Jack?

He ran and left her with me.

Why would you protect him when you know what he's done?

Because we would do anything for our children.

I don't fault you for what you had needed to do for Tess.

Don't fault me for what I need to do for mine.

Just tell me where he is.

He's right behind you.

No!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Yeah, you know, I'm getting really tired

of you saying that, Bethany.

You said you weren't gonna make this difficult.

This is for kicking me down the stairs.

Take her phone.

What do you wanna do with her?

We don't give up on the ones we love, Ma.

You taught me that.

It's okay.

When all this is over, we can finally be together.

Okay?

The Amish woman might be with the car.

Drive down the road and see if you can find her.

I'm gonna head to the shed.

Get some rope to tie up their feet.

What the...

Who's out there?

Let me out!

Oh! Oh, Bethany, what has he done?

Oh, good, you're here.

Where's Norma?

Oh, I locked her in the shed.

Where's your gun?

I don't know!

Oh, God, come on.

We can surprise him, and then we'll end this here.

Sounds like a good plan.

Seth, please,

as her mother, I'm begging you,

just let me take her home.

This is her home now.

You can stay with us as long as you'd like.

You opened up your home to me, so I'll open it up to you.

After all, we all are planning on

expanding the family very soon.

You can't be considering this.

The paths of God are not for us to see.

What about Jenny?

Her path's set.

Seth, hey, let's go. Let's just leave.

You and me, together, like you wanted.

Yeah? Let's go.

God.

You still haven't learned your lesson?

But you will.

Why don't you put that thing down?

You don't know how to use it.

But you were ready to use it.

I just... I have to pull this.

No, Bethany, don't.

This is not our way.

Listen to your mother, Bethany.

Killing is a sin.

He's full of crap.

It's just another one of his tricks.

Just shoot him!

No, he's unarmed.

We can tie him up and call the authorities.

Bethany, all life has the chance

of redemption in the eyes of God.

You will be stealing his chance at eternal salvation.

I will get the rope. I will tie him up.

And you only pull the trigger if he moves.

No, no, no.

Ma?

Mama?

Mama?

Mama!

Mom.

No!

You did this! - No.

You made me kill her! You did it!

Now you're gonna pay!

I'm gonna kill all of you!

No, don't.

I don't think either one of you

wanna see what I have to do next.

Jenny, he's helpless.

Please just leave. He just killed his mother.

He is gonna have to live with the pain of that every day.

He will have to come to terms with what he did.

Isn't that a greater punishment

for what he has done?

The night he took her from you,

you said you could feel her when it happened.

Can you feel her now?

What would Tess want you to do?

All right, come on, let's go, in the car.

Let's go.

We've got everything we need.

Thanks. - Thank you.

Here we go. - Hmm.

Bethany, will you say grace?

Yes.

We thank thee, Lord, for the food that we are about

to receive and for a new friend to share it with.

We ask that you continue to embrace

Tess and Jebediah as they reside in heaven.

We thank thee for thy boundless grace,

thy unconditional love,

and for the forgiveness of our sins.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Here you go.

Yeah, everything's from our garden.

And Bethany made the potatoes.
