- Welcome to Hickory Hollow!

It's mighty peaceful here.

That's because we Amish lead a simple life,

and we like it that way.

Our focus is on more important things

than buying the latest fashions,

or keeping with whatever congress or the president is doing.

We're called plain people.

We rise early, work hard, and try our best

to live out our faith with as few distractions as possible.

Now, I've heard tell that some folks

don't think much happens on an Amish farm.

Especially an old order Amish farm, like Hickory Hollow.

But, I'm here to tell you that nothing could be

further from the truth.

Life here has a way of twisting and turning

and sometimes exposing long-held secrets.

Just as it does in most other places,

only we don't talk about it much.

Outside our own community that is. [laughing]

[audience laughing]

But, every so often, a secret comes along

that, well, seems to take on a life of its own.

The secret I'm fixin' to tell you about

was that kind of secret.

And it all started, as most secrets do,

with every good intention.

[gentle guitar music]

♪ My heart has found a home

♪ In your arms

♪ My heart has found a place

♪ Where it belongs

- I never tire of hearing you sing, Daniel.

- It's good, yeah?

- Of all your songs, this one's my favorite.

- Are you saying that because you really like it,

or because you helped me write it?

- Daniel, I know nothing about writing songs.

I gave you some words, that's all.

- Well, that's the most important part of the song,

Katie, the words! [laughing]

You just hope they're the right words.

You're a good songwriter.

And don't worry,

when the time's right, all the words will come.

- I do love writing songs with you, Daniel.

I'd write a hundred of them if it meant

more time with you.

- Someday when we're married,

we'll always be together,

and we can write all the songs we want.

- I long for that day, Daniel.

You and me, writing songs together,

and we'll have us a whole barrel-full of kids, too!

- Just so I can, uh, plan accordingly,

is a whole barrel-full more or less than five? [laughing]

[audience laughing] [Katie sighs]

We won't get much songwriting done

with all those little feet running around.

- So then we'll write about that.

But we should go.

Someone might- - What?

Find us here?

Playing music?

Is that so wrong?

- It's not an approved hymn.

You know that.

We've already been baptized into the church,

and the bishop's already warned you once

about having your guitar.

- Only approved music.

Sometimes I get so stifled with all these rules,

I can hardly breathe!

- The rules are for our own good, Daniel.

- I wouldn't wanna do anything to cause you

to disobey God, or get yourself into trouble, Katie.

But I've been doing a lot of thinking for myself,

and I don't believe God would give us these talents,

and the desire for other kinds of music,

if we're not supposed to-

[shovel clatters] [Katie gasps]

- What was that?

- Probably just the wind.

- We're lucky it wasn't my dad.

- Why should we have to sneak around like this, Katie?

I don't like keeping secrets from your parents,

or mine, either.

Our music is no sin.

- Maybe.

But I do know disobedience is-

- Our songs speak of love,

and of truth.

How could that be wrong?

- Daniel, I don't know what's true anymore,

but I do know rebellion will get you a shunning.

For sure and for certain.

And I couldn't bear it if they sent you away.

- Don't worry, Katie.

I would never put you, or my parents,

through a shunning.

That's why I'm going on this fishing trip.

To get away for a few days,

and figure out what it is I do believe.

- I really wish you wouldn't go,

but if there's no changing your mind,

then you must promise you'll take me

with you next time.

- Well, when we're married you'll always go with me.

- Not very good at cleaning fish, you know.

- That's okay, I'm not very good at catching them, either.

[audience laughing]

- See?

We're perfect for each other.

- My beautiful Katie.

I promise.

I'll be back before you can say Mrs. Daniel Fisher.

- Mrs. Daniel ...

- We should go.

Yeah. [clears throat]

Ah, is it still okay that I keep my guitar here?

The bishop has my parents watching my every move.

- It's safe here for now.

I'll move it up to our attic

when Mama and Dad go into town tomorrow.

Then when I'm alone and missing you,

I can sneak up there and play it.

[both chuckle]

I'll be careful, I promise

- Hey.

- So this is where [Katie gasps]

the two of you've been hiding out.

- [Katie] I thought you were my dad!

- It's only me,

but everyone's looking for you.

[Katie gasps]

- Oh dear me!

My parents will be wondering where I am

for sure and for certain!

Come on, Daniel!

We've gotta get to the barn raising!

Hurry!

- Daniel.

I thought the bishop told you to get rid of this.

- I couldn't do it, Mary.

- You won't say anything, will you?

- Well-

- We've been friends for a long time, Mary!

- Oh, I know you don't agree

with some of the Amish ways, Daniel.

And I do love your songs.

But rules are rules.

And when the bishop says only approved hymns,

I, for one, sing only approved hymns.

All six verses of every one.

[audience laughing]

- So, you won't tell?

- Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with me.

- Thanks, Mary

- You've always been a good friend to us.

- I know.

Now come on!

We've got a barn to raise!

[audience cheering] [audience applauding]

- She was out there, Rebecca.

In the barn, with him.

I saw them with my own eyes.

That boy's already been warned about his rebellion,

and now he's got Katie sneaking around with him, too.

He's a defiant one, that kid.

- You should talk to her.

- Katie knows the rules.

His rebellious ways have influenced her.

I should have put a stop to their relationship months ago.

- Our Katie is a good girl.

- Sneaking around behind our backs, huh?

Good girls don't keep secrets.

- Oh, Samuel.

- She's being led astray.

If we don't forbid her to see him,

she's sure to bring shame upon our whole family.

- It's only music, Samuel.

Is it really so bad?

- Forbidden music.

It's a disobedient heart at the root of it, Rebecca.

Our daughter is risking losing her very soul

for her waywardness.

We can't simply stand by and watch it happen.

- We were young once, too.

Remember, Samuel?

- Yes, I knew well enough not to go sneaking around

behind your father's back.

- Oh, I seem to recall a few buggy rides

that my dad didn't now about.

[audience laughing]

- I will speak with her.

But if she won't listen-

- Samuel, wait! - No.

- I know our Katie!

She is a good girl!

She will listen!

- Ah, our most beautiful one yet.

- Worth every needle prick, yeah?

- Yeah!

Ow!

Well, that makes four of 'em.

Only six more fingers to go.

[audience laughing]

Sewing has never been my gift.

- Well, maybe that's why you love your music so much, Katie.

It doesn't draw blood.

[both giggle] [audience laughing]

It's perfect.

You never know how a quilt's going to look

until the very last stitch.

- Well I'd say we'll get a well done on this one.

- Well, I want you to keep it, Katie.

For your wedding!

- I'm not even officially engaged!

- You will be soon!

Daniel's been gone two days already,

and I'm sure he's missing you something fierce.

He's been courting you forever.

You two have to been to every church sing,

and ice cream social in the county.

He'll be asking you to wed him for sure and for certain.

Of course, no boy's asked me to marry him yet.

But, that doesn't mean I'm not one giant scoop

of homemade chocolate fudge ripple away

from a proposal!

[audience laughing]

Um, I'll go get you another bandaid.

- Katie?

- Mama!

What are you doing here at Mary's?

What's wrong, Mama?

What is it?

- Katie, I just came from the Fisher home.

Katie, oh Katie, I'm so sorry.

- Sorry?

For what, Mama?

- That storm that came through yesterday

caught Daniel out on the open water.

They say that the size of the waves,

and the force of the winds were just too much

for a small boat.

- Mama, tell me.

Is Daniel okay?

- I'm sorry, Katie.

They found his boat upside-down in the water, but-

- Mama.

What are you saying?

- They can't find his body, Katie.

He drowned.

Daniel Fisher is dead.

- No, Mama!

No!

- Katie!

[Katie sobbing]

[emotional piano music]

- That was a sad day.

It's hard to believe two years have now passed

since Daniel's tragic drowning.

And for two years, Katie tried her best to move on

with her life, but Daniel and all the what-might-have-beens

were what she thought about day and night.

She still had so many questions.

Not the least of which was where was God in all of this?

Nothing about the tragedy made any sense to Katie at all.

Secretly, she continued sneaking up to the attic

whenever she could to play Daniel's guitar,

just to feel close to him.

Unbeknownst to her though, another secret

was about to be uncovered in Hickory Hollow.

But this secret had nothing whatsoever to do

with guitars, or forbidden music,

and it was just about to change everything in Katie's life.

- Thank you, Fulton, for helping me take care of that.

I can rest easier now knowing that it's all legal.

- Welcome home, Miss Laura.

Hello, my dear.

- Darling.

- Did everything go well at the attorney's office?

- All is well.

Thank you, Rosie.

- Good.

I don't want to be a nosy Nellie.

But will you be telling the mister

about the changes in your will?

- No.

I love Dylan, but my wishes don't always,

I just prefer not to mention it to Dylan right now.

[Rosie chuckles]

- A wise choice, I'm sure.

What the mister doesn't know won't hurt you.

[audience laughing]

- Shall I put the paperwork in the safe?

- No, Fulton.

Just put it in the drawer beside the window.

I'd like to review it once more before we lock it up.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Here, dear.

- Oh, thank you Rosie.

You and Fulton are both so good to me.

- Oh, well there's nowhere we'd rather be,

and no one we'd rather attend to than you, Miss Laura.

I'll go and park the car,

if that's all, Miss Laura.

- That's all.

Thank you, Fulton.

- Yeah. - Of course.

- Rosie?

- Yes, dear?

- Have we found out anything more about my Katherine?

- Oh, I've had a few good leads,

but nothing definite yet.

- I so hope that letter we left in Hickory Hollow

would have turned up something by now.

- Oh, in God's timing, Miss Laura,

we will find her.

- Find who, Rosie? - Oh, oh.

Someone to, uh, help with the kitchen duties.

Yes, with Miss Laura getting weaker,

it takes a little more of my time,

which I don't mind.

But it does leave a lot to do around the house.

- Well, if your duties around the house

are proving to be a bit too much for you and Fulton

in these, your latter years,

do let me know so that I can start

interviewing your replacements

as soon as possible.

- I assure you, Mr. Bennet,

it is not the number of our birthdays.

It's the number of rooms in this house.

- Oh.

- But I appreciate your concern.

- There will be no replacements, Dylan.

Rosie and Fulton are never leaving me.

- I'm just looking out

for your financial interests, my dear.

- Yes, you've always looked out

for my benefit, haven't you, darling?

- I do try.

I do try.

[cellphone ringing]

Oh, excuse me.

Ah.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Oh yeah.

- Miss Laura? - Hmm?

- [Rosie] May I ask you something?

- Rosie, you can ask me anything you want.

I've nothing to hide from you.

- I don't want to be a Betty Butt-in.

[audience laughing]

But.

How come you and Dylan never had any-

- Children? - Yes.

- I wanted more children,

but I was led to believe I couldn't bear any more.

- Your doctor lied to you?

- No, my hus ...

[audience laughing]

Never mind.

It's water under the bridge.

- Well he's a dirty scoundrel.

- Please-

- No disrespect intended.

[audience laughing]

Maybe just a little.

[audience laughing]

- Rosie, please forget I ever mentioned it.

I shouldn't have said anything,

and I don't want anything I say

to change the way you think of him.

- Oh sweetheart.

Nothing you can say about him

will change what I think of him.

[audience laughing]

But anything you tell me will never leave this room.

Well, except to Fulton, my dear.

And to my journal.

And God.

[audience laughing]

My Aunt Mildred is a good prayer.

[Laura laughs] [audience laughing]

Other than that, it stays right here.

- Oh, Rosie. [Rosie chuckling]

Dylan and I had talked of having children,

but when I failed to get pregnant,

he convinced me it was I who could not conceive,

and some years later, I discovered he had

secretly taken measures to ensure

we would never bear any children.

- Oh dear.

I know he's your husband, but- [coughs]

- Dylan- [audience laughing]

Dylan has been good to me these past nine years

that we've been married.

And I do have my own sweet Katherine somewhere out there.

- In God's timing, Miss Laura, we'll find her.

The Amish in Hickory Hollow have to remember something.

Surely someone will step forward.

- I surely hope so.

- Yes.

- All I have will be hers after I'm gone.

My mother's wishes will finally be honored,

and this house will remain in the family.

Oh.

I want it to be a blessing to Katherine,

and to whoever she wants to share it with.

Rosie, we have to find her.

I have so much to tell her.

- You're such a sweetheart.

Yes, we will find her.

Would you like to take a nap?

You've had a long day.

I could help you to your bed.

- Yes, that would be lovely.

Thank you, Rosie. - That's all, so.

And we'll talk about that husband of yours

a little more. - Oh, Rosie.

[audience laughing]

- "I do hereby bequeath all of my worldly goods

"to my daughter and only heir, Katherine Mayfield"?

Certainly there can be nothing sadder

than a man losing his wife

and his fortune all on the same day.

All right, my dear.

You wish to find your, yes?

Yes, hello.

I'm interested in hiring someone

from your talent agency to play a young Amish girl.

Yes, young.

Amish.

Girl.

Well look it up.

[audience laughing]

When?

Well, as soon as possible.

This is an emergency.

And don't worry, she'll be handsomely compensated.

Yes, and, where?

Well, look that up, too.

It's the Bennet Mayfield Mansion in Canandaigua.

Yes.

Yes, oh and by the way, tell her to use

the side entrance, in the driveway,

and she must come in the second story office.

Discretion is of the utmost importance.

Thank you.

Yes, my dear.

You wish to find your daughter?

I'll find you your daughter.

Ha.

[Katie sighs]

Ah!

Oh, I remember this!

I used to sleep with it every night.

And this is Dad's old hymnal!

We would sing out of this all the time.

[singing in foreign language]

So many memories in this book.

What's this?

This is beautiful.

How fancy!

This doesn't look like any Amish baby dress

I've ever seen.

Katherine Mayfield.

Who's Katherine Mayfield?

- Katie?

What are you doing?

- I was just going through some of these old things, Mama.

- Did you have permission to be up here?

- [Katie] No, Mama.

- Then you must put everything back

and come downstairs at once.

There are things up here that could hurt you.

Now come along.

Katie!

What is this?

- Mama, what is this?

- Give me that.

- What's wrong, Mama?

Who's Katherine Mayfield?

- Katie, I need your help in the kitchen.

- The embroidery says Katherine Mayfield.

Who is she, Mama?

- Katie, please.

- [gasps] Did you have another daughter, Mama?

- No, I- - Do I have a sister?

- No!

And you shouldn't have come up here by yourself!

You know it's forbidden!

- Is this what you feared would hurt me, Mama?

Is this why you and Dad didn't want us up here?

- You ask too many questions!

- Whose dress is this?

- Katie, I said let's go!

- This is special, or you wouldn't have packed it away!

Is this

is this my dress?

It is my dress, isn't it?

Am I Katherine Mayfield, Mama?

Am I?

- Katie.

Katie, you're, you're my precious gift from God,

and I love you.

That's all that matters.

- Katherine Mayfield matters too, Mama.

Somebody must have loved her very much

to have sewn her such a beautiful dress,

and it wasn't anyone in the plain world!

- [Samuel] Rebecca?

- I'm up, I'm up here, Samuel, in the attic.

Come here, I need you!

We should wait for your father.

- Mama, tell me the truth.

Who am I?

Mama, answer my question.

Who am I?

- Katie.

The truth is, you were Katherine Mayfield

when you wore that dress.

But, but then I took you into my arms,

and you became my beautiful Katie Lapp.

My precious gift from God.

- What's going on?

- She knows, Samuel.

She knows about her birth mother.

She knows about Katherine Mayfield.

- Katherine Mayfield no longer exists.

- I'm standing right in front of you, Dad!

- You're Katie Lapp!

And right now you're not even acting like her!

Katie Lapp would never disrespect her father

the way you're doing right now.

- Well, the mother and father I thought I knew

would never have kept such a secret from me

all these years!

So then,

I'm adopted!

Aren't I?

- Katie, oh, Katie,

you were born in our hearts.

You were wanted by all of us.

- And what do you know about them?

My birth parents?

What can you tell me, Mama, about the man and woman

who brought me here to Hickory Hollow?

- So many questions! - So many secrets!

- I know nothing about the man.

And very little about the woman.

Only that she gave us a beautiful daughter

to love and to raise as our own,

and for that, I will be forever grateful to her,

but we should have told you,

and I'm sorry for that.

We should have told her, Samuel.

- It doesn't change the fact

that she's still our daughter in the eyes of God.

- I don't even know who I am anymore.

- You're the daughter we treasure!

- You're an answer to our prayers, Katie.

- And you're the only family I've ever known.

Mama, this doesn't change how I feel

about either one of you, but,

ach, my head is spinning so fast!

How did it happen?

Was I left on your doorstep?

Did you go through an agency?

- She was so young and so scared.

I had just delivered a baby girl.

Stillborn.

And your 16-year-old mother had just delivered you.

A beautiful, healthy baby girl.

She had decided to give you up for adoption,

and it was as if God had a perfect plan right there

in that hospital!

She brought you here to give you

to a good family, and we've, we've been a good family

to you, haven't we, Katie?

- You've been wonderful, Mama.

You both have.

But, you understand my wanting to know, don't you?

What was her name?

Do you know where she lives now?

Please, Mama, help me fill in the blanks.

- We should have gotten more information for you,

but we were just so happy to be holding you in our arms,

and taking you home with us.

- We, we understand your curiosity, Katie,

but are you wanting to find her?

Is that where this is going?

- Maybe.

- Oh.

Oh, these things don't always turn out

the way you hope.

Sometimes the birth mother doesn't want to be found.

- But what if she's been looking for me?

- She brought you here to Hickory Hollow.

If she's interested, she knows where to begin her search.

- But does she even know my name now?

When she left me here, I was Katherine Mayfield, wasn't I?

- Your father's right.

Sometimes these things are best left well enough alone.

- I don't think I can.

- [Rebecca] Katie, please!

Think this through!

- You've already taken your vows into the church, Katie.

You can't just leave the plain life

to go on a search for your birth mother,

and then return to us whenever you please.

- How else do I find her?

- If you leave Hickory Hollow,

you'll be in rebellion.

Now we're your parents.

And as your parents, we forbid you to leave this farm.

We, we can write letters.

We'll search for her that way.

- That would take too long.

I think, I think I've got to follow my heart on this.

And my heart's telling me to go find her!

- So you've already making up your mind, have you?

- When will you go?

- First thing in the morning.

- You're not even going to listen to us on this?

- I love you, but this is my decision.

- I forbid it, Katie!

- You can't stop me.

- Walk out of this house tomorrow,

and I'll have no choice but to report you to the bishop.

- Do what you feel you have to do, Father.

But I'm going.

- I will hear no more of this.

You'll be in rebellion, and you'll be risking a shunning

if you don't listen to me.

Let's go, Rebecca.

- Katie, please!

Don't leave us!

- I love you,

and I surely don't want to hurt either one of you,

but this is something I have to do.

I pray someday you'll understand.

- Will that be all, Madame?

- Yes, thank you Fulton.

- Ah, lovely.

[Rosie humming]

Oh, that looks nice.

- No, you don't.

How are you this morning, Miss Laura?

- A bit weaker, I'm afraid.

- Well then you need to stop your writing

and eat something.

- I must get my thoughts down, Rosie.

My journals may be the only way

my daughter ever gets to know me,

and I want her to know how much I love her,

especially since I may not see my 40th birthday.

- Now we'll have none of that talk.

We need you around here.

Besides, you've done all you can do

to find your daughter.

Now you just have to trust.

You've been seeking.

You're going to find.

The Bible says seek and you'll find.

- I do believe that, Rosie,

but I hope it's soon.

Has there been no word, no calls?

- Well, Mr. Bennet's been on the phone

most of the day, so if he had heard,

I'm sure he'd say something.

- Yes, surely.

- Why don't I take you to the rose garden?

It's a beautiful day.

You could use the distraction.

- I do love roses.

- Good.

- It's a wonderful idea, Rosie.

- Think about what you're doing, Katie!

- I have, Mary.

- But, but what if your parents are right,

and this is an act of rebellion,

and you get yourself shunned?

- Then so be it.

- So be it?

Katie, you're not thinking clearly.

Too much has happened.

You need to stop and sort it all out

before making any decisions,

especially one as big as this!

- I don't want to miss the opportunity

to get to know the one who gave me my life!

- But what if you're risking losing the one

who gave you her life?

- I'm not saying this is easy, Mary.

All I'm saying is I have to do it.

- I can't, I can't talk you out of it?

- Will you help me, Mary?

Please?

- All right.

I'll do what I can.

But where will you be staying?

- I have a Mennonite cousin

with a room for rent.

Here's the address.

I'm sure she'll help me.

Then, when I've gathered more information,

I'll start my search.

Oh Mary, my whole world has changed!

Everything I thought to be true isn't.

I wish Daniel were here.

He'd know exactly what to do.

- And would've written a song about it, I'm sure.

- Hello, Mary.

- Mama.

- You're packing.

- I love you, Mama, but this is my decision.

- I know.

- Well, no one can ever take your place

in my heart, Mama.

I want you to know that.

- You might not feel the same

after you've heard what I have to say.

- What is it, Mama?

- Katie.

A few months ago, I received a letter.

It was from your birth mother.

- A letter?

So then you know her name?

- She said she was looking for you, and that ...

- What?

And that what, Mama?

- That she was ill.

Very ill.

- What are you saying?

- She has a rare form of MS.

Yes, without a miracle, it's terminal.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I'm so sorry, Katie.

- You still have the letter?

Don't you, Mama?

- No, I was afraid you might find it,

and I burned it.

Oh, Katie.

Can you ever forgive me?

- Mama, do you at least remember the address?

The town?

Did you even notice the state, Mama?

- It was New York.

I'm sure of it.

And it, it seems like there was something

about Canada in the address, too.

- Well, which was it?

New York or Canada?

It can't be both, Mama.

- I'm trying, I'm trying to remember,

I truly am.

- Mama, please.

It's important.

If the letter said she was very ill,

then we may not have much time.

Try to remember anything, Mama.

- Laura.

- What?

- Laura Mayfield.

Your birth mother.

- Laura?

- Laura Mayfield.

I'm sure of it.

- Laura Mayfield.

It's a beautiful name.

- But I can't remember if it was New York or Canada.

I am sorry.

But I've told you everything I know.

There are no more secrets.

- Well, what do you think the bishop will do

if she leaves?

- I don't know.

But her actions surely will have consequences.

- Your secrets have already had consequences, Mama.

- It was never our intention to hurt you.

You must believe me.

I love you, Katie.

- I love you too, Mama, but-

- But?

- Mama, I think I would like to be called Katherine.

- If that's what you want.

Katherine.

- It's what I want, Mama.

- Here, take this.

You'll need to buy some new clothes.

- Oh Mama!

Thank you!

I love you!

Mary, thank you!

- Well, Katie!

I mean, Katherine!

- Thanks!

[soft emotional music]

[audience applauding]

- Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

That's exactly the information I was looking for.

Katie Lapp.

Hickory Hollow.

Yes.

That's perfect.

Thank you very much.

Mm.

Well, little miss Katie Lapp.

Guess what you're going to be?

You're going to stay right there

in your little Amish farm

with your little Amish family

in your little Amish house.

I mean, what in the world would you do

with a big old house like this, anyway?

It'd be such a pity to let all that electricity

go to waste.

[sighs]

Nope, you are gonna stay exactly where you are,

and I am going to do the same.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

- I think I'm lost.

This house is huge!

I'm looking for a Dylan Bennet.

- I'm, I'm, uh, Dylan Bennet.

- They didn't say the client was so handsome.

- The ...

You're from the talent agency?

- Yes.

- The Amish girl?

- In the flesh.

[audience laughing]

Hi, I'm Alyson.

- Hello, Alyson.

What happened to discretion?

Coming in the second story office?

And you don't look very Amish to me.

Where's your, your, your Amish-y dress?

- It's in my bag.

You didn't expect me to wear it

in the Uber over here, did you? [laughing]

I do have an image to uphold.

- Well, at least you brought it.

And the bonnet?

- Yeah, I was gonna talk to you about that.

Is that really necessary?

Because you see, my hair is my best asset.

Well, second best asset. [audience laughing]

But I just don't think it is really necessary

for the function at hand.

- You have got to wear the bonnet!

And I'm very sorry, but those,

those high heels have got to go.

- But they're all I brought.

And they're so cute!

- Well, if you didn't bring another pair,

I guess you'll just have to do this barefoot.

- Barefoot?

But I just had a pedi.

You don't want my feet to get all dirty, and nasty, and-

- Listen to me.

I have far too much riding on this,

and I don't have very much time.

[Alyson groans]

So either you want the job, or you don't.

Which is it?

- Don't get your britches in a wood, Derwood.

- It's Dylan.

[audience laughing]

- Whatever.

I'll just wear these.

- You just told me you didn't bring another pair.

You've been here less than a minute

and you've already lied.

- Then that makes me perfect for the job, doesn't it?

[audience laughing]

- Fair enough.

All right, come here.

This is the situation.

You are my wife's long-lost daughter, Katherine Mayfield.

My wife, Laura Mayfield, gave up her baby at birth

to an Amish family.

That little girl, you, is now Katie Lapp,

and you have come here in search of your birth mother,

my wife, Laura Mayfield.

Got it?

- Is this one of those reality shows?

[gasps] Where are the cameras?

- No, this is not a reality show!

[audience laughing]

Please tell me that you know something

about the Amish.

- Nope.

But I can Google it, and I am a fast learner, Derwyn.

- It's Dylan!

[upbeat music]

Let's go over this again.

Who are you?

- Katie Lapp.

But I'm really Katherine Mayfield.

- And where were you raised?

- On an Amish farm.

- Who are you searching for?

- For my birth mother, Laura Mayfield!

- And that search has led you where?

- Why right here to little old you, of course.

- Yes.

[Alyson chuckles]

No, no, no.

It's led you to my wife.

My infirm wife, Katherine Mayfield.

- I know.

Poor thing.

- Poor thing?

- Yeah.

- Believe me, there's nothing poor

about my wife.

I know.

I've seen the books.

[both laughing]

So be honest, can you really do this?

- I'm an actress, aren't I?

Just wait til you see me in action.

But I don't really have to wear the bonnet, do I?

- The bonnet is the most important thing.

- Ugh.

- Look, if you pull this off,

there's gonna be a nice little bonus check

in it for you, and believe you me,

you're gonna learn to love this bonnet

once you see all those zeroes.

- I love zeroes.

- Mm.

My wife is rich,

and she's going to die soon,

and it will all be mine.

If you play your part convincingly,

I will cut you in,

and make it worth your while,

if you know what I mean.

- Well, Dexter-

- It's, uh, it's Derwyn.

[audience laughing]

- I ...

Can assure you, I have never met a fortune

I didn't like.

- Dylan.

- There you go.

- Yeah.

- You know what they say?

A good actress can lie better than anyone.

- I'm banking on it.

Oh my goodness.

You look even more beautiful with the bonnet,

if it's possible.

- I bet you say that to all the New York actresses

you hire to play the long-lost Amish daughter

of your dying wife so you can steal all of her money.

- Spunky.

I like that in a co-conspirator.

No, no, no, no.

[audience applauding] [audience cheering]

- She's gone.

My baby is gone.

What have we done?

- [Samuel] I spoke to him, Rebecca.

- Bishop John?

And?

[dark tense music]

- [Bishop] Therefore, because of Katie Lapp's willful

and rebellious decision to separate from the plain life,

and her past refusal to repent of her worldly music,

even after she had been forewarned and counseled,

because of her failure to demonstrate a contrite heart

so that her trespasses may be atoned for,

from this community, she is hereby shunned,

and completely removed.

From henceforth, there shall be no communication

or contact for this prodigal.

And the name Katie Lapp is forbidden to be spoken publicly

by any member of her family or this respectable community.

Katie Lapp no longer exists in this community.

This shunning order is ordained on this day.

- Not you too, Mama!

[Rebecca sobbing]

- [Bishop] We leave the matter in God's hands now.

[Rebecca crying]

[soft emotional music]

- Here, love.

This should keep you warm.

- The night sweats are back, Rosie.

- I know.

It's why we have to keep you bundled up.

We don't need you to get a chill.

- No, I suppose not.

Rosie?

- Yes, honey?

- Will you help me pray?

I feel so helpless.

I long to find my Katherine,

but it seems time is running out.

- You need a miracle, darling.

And miracles are His specialty.

Let's pray.

Dear Lord.

We pray that you will be with Miss Laura,

and her sweet Katherine, wherever she may be,

we don't know, Lord,

but you do.

We pray if it is not your will

that you heal Miss Laura in this life,

that you will give her strength to hang on

for a reunion we pray is about to happen.

Just as you left the 99 and ran after

that one lost sheep,

we pray that you will find Miss Laura's daughter,

and bring her back here where her,

where her life began.

[gentle piano music]

We pray these things in the sweet name

of your son, and we ask for mercy.

And we pray for peace.

[audience applauding]

- I wonder what I would look better in.

A little red sports car,

or one of those long, sleek, black convertibles.

[Dylan laughs]

I think the little red sports car.

- Hello?

Siri?

I'm trying to find a Laura Mayfield.

City?

Uh, not sure.

It's either New York or Canada.

[audience laughing]

No, this isn't a crank call.

I'm trying to find my,

hello?

Hello!

- Vacationing in Rome,

Hawaii,

or Shipshewana?

[audience laughing]

[audience applauding] [audience cheering]

Shipshewana.

- Yes, Miss Siri!

Can you please help me?

I am desperately trying to reach

a Laura Mayfield, and all I know

is that it's New York or possibly Canada.

Now I know that's not much to go on,

really?

There is in Canandaigua?

That does sound a little like Canada, doesn't it?

And you say that's in New York?

Can you check and see

if there's a Laura Mayfield listed there?

L. Mayfield.

Yes!

That could be it!

Okay.

And can I get the address too?

Okay.

Thank you, Miss Siri!

Thank you so much!

[phone ringing]

- Hello, Bennet residence.

- Hi, oh I'm sorry, did you say Bennet?

I'm sorry, I was trying to reach a Laura Mayfield.

I must have mis-dialed.

- Well, this is the Bennet Mayfield residence.

- Bennet Mayfield?

- Yes, Mayfield is my wife's maiden name.

She's resting at the moment.

Who is this?

- Do you think she could call me back?

- Well, if she feels up to it,

but she's not feeling, who is this?

- Yes, I've heard that she's ill,

and I'm so sorry, but I do hope she can

return my call!

- Well she may, if you can tell me

what this is concerning.

- It's of the utmost importance.

I'll be right here waiting by the phone.

- [Dylan] What?

- Oh glory be, it's her!

[phone ringing]

- The Bennet estate.

- Hi, it's me again.

I forgot to give you my number.

It's, uh, oh here we go.

It's 585-555-9977.

- I have your number.

Believe me.

I have it.

Listen, I'm not going to bring my wife to the phone

unless I know who it is that wishes to speak to her.

- My name?

- [Dylan] Yes, your name.

Who are you?

- Well it's, uh,

it's Katherine Mayfield, sir.

- Katherine Mayfield?

- [Katherine] I believe I could be her daughter, sir.

- Her daughter?

Well, then you most certainly have the wrong number,

because my wife and I don't have any children.

In fact, my wife is infertile.

Listen, I don't appreciate you making this call,

and I find no humor in your cruel joke!

- No, it's not a joke-

- Don't you ever call this number again, young lady.

- Please just listen to me,

it's very important that-

That's got to be the right place.

Dad was right.

These things don't always turn out as you'd hoped.

- Got the horses in the barn just in time.

Looks like a storm is brewing.

Gracie sure didn't wanna go in, though.

She can be ornery. [laughing]

You need to eat, Rebecca.

You haven't eaten all day.

- I miss her, Samuel.

- You mustn't think of her.

[Rebecca laughing]

- Not think of her?

Her absence consumes me.

Her empty bed.

Her clothes.

I no longer wash her plate.

I can't even sit at the table anymore.

Oh, it's a powerful pain, Samuel.

- It is for me as well.

- Please Samuel- - But it's for the best.

Rebecca.

A rebellious heart must be dealt with.

- Talk to him, Samuel.

Talk to the bishop.

Ask him to lighten the shunning.

If we hadn't kept this secret from her,

all this never would have happened.

- It's for the good of the community.

- God gave Katie to us, Samuel.

We can't turn our backs on her now.

- It is she who has turned her back on us.

- When will she come home, Samuel?

When will our Katie come home?

Our baby.

Please, Samuel.

Make her come home.

Make our Katie come home!

- You need to eat.

I'll make you a plate.

- Well, as you can see, life can get mighty complicated

and bring a lot of pain, even on an Amish farm.

And you thought all we did was make furniture and quilts.

[audience laughing]

[laughing] Oh, you didn't realize there could be

so much drama and intrigue going on

in our peaceful little community, now did you?

Ah, but we're human.

And who needs television when you got real life, y'all?

So, if you're keeping track of all the secrets

in our quaint little Amish community of Hickory Hollow,

my count says we're up to about five now.

But something tells me that figure is about to grow.

♪ Sweetheart

♪ Sweetheart

Sweetheart! - Oh.

- [Dylan] I have a surprise for you.

- Ah, a surprise?

It's not my birthday or anniversary.

What's the occasion, darling?

- Oh, I don't need an occasion to surprise you, my love.

I do love surprising you,

and I think, I think that this one

is perhaps the very best one ever.

- Oh, you've always been so full of surprises.

I hope you didn't go to any trouble.

I have everything I need.

I have more than I need, really.

- Well, I have something that you don't have.

- Oh, you're being so mysterious.

Do tell me, love.

- Laura, my dear?

- Yes?

- I want you to meet,

[claps hands]

Katie Lapp!

The long-lost daughter you've been searching for

all these years!

- Katherine?

My Katherine?

You found her?

Dylan!

- I found her, yes!

- Hello, Mother!

- Oh, Katherine!

I've dreamed of this moment!

[Laura laughing]

[audience laughing]

- Oh, yes!

And so have I!

- Katherine, I'm so happy you're here.

- It's good to be home.

Your house is amazing.

You have done all right for yourself, moms.

[audience laughing] - Um.

- Um, uh, that is growing up on the Amish farm,

as I have all my life, I am not into such fancy things,

but 'tis a lovely home, truly 'tis.

- It's a fine home, but it has never

been complete until now.

- Was I not right, my dear?

Is this not a most wonderful surprise?

- It's the most wonderful surprise of all, darling.

- [laughing] I'm so glad.

I do love surprising you, my dear.

In fact, I think I would have searched

every Amish community in all of America

[cellphone ringing] in order, to.

Oh, excuse me.

- Oh!

[audience laughing]

- Um, was that a cellphone?

- Uh, cellphone?

I didn't hear a-

- [Laura] Oh, I thought I heard a cellphone.

- Oh, oh, oh!

A cellphone!

So that's what this is.

I had no idea what this contraption was.

I thought that my father had slipped it

into my purse to keep track of me.

You know, like a GPS.

- Oh. [audience laughing]

- But I, my darling, I gave a,

I gave Alis, uh, Katie,

one of our spare cellphones,

I mean, after all, it's taken us so long to find her,

that you certainly wouldn't want to risk

losing her again.

And this way you can just call her up

any time you wish.

- Yes.

Yes!

But I haven't a clue of how to use

one of these things!

I am sure I can learn, though.

Growing up on the, you know, Amish farm,

as I have all my life, I am not

used to your worldly gadgets.

- Katherine?

Stand back and let me look at you.

- Yes please.

Stand back.

[audience laughing]

- Dylan is right.

You are beautiful.

And look at all that hair.

It's lovely, it's just lovely.

- Thought you might like your tea now.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't realize you had company.

Fulton!

Oh. [audience laughing]

Bring another cup for Miss Laura's guest.

- Yes, certainly Miss Laura!

- No, Fulton, wait.

I have the most magnificent news to share with you both.

Dylan has brought my beloved Katherine home to me.

[Dylan chuckling]

- What?

- It's her.

- It's her?

- It's her?

[audience laughing]

- [Dylan] 'Tis.

- Well, well that's wonderful new,

news, Miss Laura, wonderful news.

- She's Katie Lapp.

That's her name now.

And she's the miracle we've been praying for, Rosie.

- We're so happy for you, Miss Laura.

- Well welcome home, Katie!

Welcome home.

[audience applauding]

[soft music]

[singing in foreign language]

- I'm sorry, Samuel.

I can't get her to stop crying.

No matter what I try, nothing comforts her.

She needs something I'm not giving her,

and I don't know what it is.

Please, Samuel- - Rebecca.

- Take her.

See if you can get her to stop crying.

- Come to bed.

You're tired.

- I can't let her cry all night.

- She won't.

- It's just a baby!

I can't leave her!

What kind of a mother would I be?

- You're a good mother.

You're just tired.

You need rest.

I'll, I'll listen for her.

I promise.

- I have to see her, Samuel.

Our Katie.

- You know you can't.

- Please, Samuel.

Talk to him.

Talk to the bishop.

Tell him she needs me.

She cries all night.

You've heard her.

She's just a baby!

I can't let her cry this much!

Please, Samuel.

Go.

Go talk to him.

Shh, shh!

[singing in foreign language]

[Rebecca humming]

- Rebecca, Katie's not,

it's, it's your grief. - Please Samuel-

- It's playing tricks with you.

I, I will.

Yeah.

I'll talk to him.

[audience applauding]

[gentle music]

- Man's work's never done.

[knocking at door]

Oh!

Ooh, whoa!

Well I gotta admit it,

that Rosie, she's good! [laughing]

- Excuse me?

- Oh, oh my wife.

Oh, just last night, she said we need more help

running the household.

And look at this!

Here you are!

So come in!

Come in, come in, come in.

Come in. [laughing]

- You have a beautiful home, sir!

- Oh yeah. [laughing]

Oh, oh no, no.

It's not my home.

Uh, I'm Fulton, the butler.

And my wife is- - Tired!

I'm tired!

Oh, I'm Rosie.

And I'm tuckered out.

But you are a gift from heaven.

This is wonderful.

When can you start?

- Uh- - Well, wait, wait, wait-

- Start? - Wait a minute.

Has the temp agency already, you know, screened her?

- Well, she's here, isn't she?

- Yes, well no offense, Katherine,

but I wanna make sure they've done

all the proper background checks.

You can't be too careful these days.

- Oh, I can tell by looking at her,

she's got great character.

And these hands, look.

She's pretty, but she's not afraid of hard work.

The hands always give people away.

So let's get you to your room and get you started.

- No, no, well wait a minute.

I mean, is the interview over?

- She's a godsend, as far as I'm concerned.

Let's get going.

We've got lots to do around here.

- Well, welcome aboard, Katherine!

- [Rosie] Good!

- Welcome aboard.

[gentle guitar music]

- Hello, Mary.

- Daniel, what are you doing on my front porch

playing that forbidden instrument?

- Mary?

[Mary screams]

- You nearly made me jump out of my skin,

if I'd just a gh ...

D-Daniel Fisher?

Gracious be, I have seen a ghost!

[Mary squeals]

- It's okay, Mary!

I'm not a ghost!

- Stay back, I say!

[audience laughing] - Please!

I,

I need to talk to you, Mary.

- I said don't come any closer!

- Please hear me out, Mary.

- Don't take another step, whoever,

or whatever you are!

- I'm Daniel!

And I'm very much alive.

But I sure don't blame you for being skeptical.

Like everyone else, you probably assumed

I was dead, too.

- Yeah, that's usually what folks do

when they attend your funeral!

- Well, as you can see, [laughing]

I didn't drown.

- It's been two years.

If you are Daniel Fisher, and you didn't drown,

you sure took a long time swimming back to shore.

[audience laughing]

- I know what I did to all of you wasn't right.

I lied, Mary.

To my parents, to Katie, to all of you.

I allowed you to think I had drowned

instead of confessing the truth,

that I was wanting to leave the plain life.

I'd been pondering on it for months,

but I didn't want to put Katie,

or my parents through a shunning, so,

when my boat capsized, I figured that was

my opportunity to go away,

and not cause anyone any pain.

- We'd rather grieve a shunning than a death, Daniel.

You have no idea how many tears we've cried over you,

and Katie,

Daniel.

You broke her heart.

- I feel the worst about Katie.

- You could have written to someone

and told them you were alive.

She never got over you, Daniel.

Never.

She's paid a high price for her love.

It's a cruel thing you've done, Daniel Fisher.

Cruel!

Cruel! [Daniel yelps]

Thing! [audience laughing]

- Okay!

- Where have you been all this time?

[Daniel groans]

- I've gone to school!

I played my music.

And I spent time learning to hear God's voice

and discerning what he wanted for me.

But there wasn't a moment

when I didn't think about Katie Lapp.

I must ask her forgiveness.

Where is she, Mary?

At the schoolhouse?

- She no longer lives here, Daniel.

- Oh.

Well, has she moved away to another community?

Has she married?

- Oh, Daniel.

Katie's been shunned.

- Shunned?

Shunned for what?

No one's as good and pure as Katie Lapp.

- Rebellion.

She went against her parents' wishes

and left the community in search of her birth mother.

- Her, her birth mother?

What do you mean?

Rebecca's her mother.

- Daniel, Katie's adopted.

- Adopted?

But Katie never told me she was adopted-

- She didn't even know herself until recently.

Her parents kept it a secret from her

all these years.

- Oh.

Mary.

I must go to her.

Do you know anything of her whereabouts?

Will you help me find her?

- Daniel, it might not be so easy.

- Well surely you have a, an address,

a phone number, something.

- I do have an address.

But if I were Katie, I'd have a hard time forgiving you.

Do you deserve forgiveness, Daniel?

- I don't know.

Maybe not.

But aren't we all looking for forgiveness we don't deserve?

After all this time, she's still the only one

I've ever loved.

And I pray that she still loves me.

- I'll go get that address.

[Daniel sighs]

- I'm so sorry, Katie.

I never meant to hurt you.

- Fulton!

- [Fulton] Yes, sir?

- What is this?

- Very nice, isn't it?

Well only the very best for Miss Laura

and her long-lost daughter.

- My wife specifically requested an intimate dinner.

Not some sort of a full scale free-for-all Amish buffet.

- But, but- [audience laughing]

Yes, yes, of course, sir.

Plan B!

Intimate dinner.

[claps hands] [jaunty piano music]

- Come on, let's go.

Front center, thank you.

Rosie.

- [Rosie] Ah!

- Today would be lovely.

[audience laughing]

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

Turn around.

Go back.

Go back.

- No, I don't want to wear the potato sack!

[audience laughing]

- [Dylan] Where is your bonnet?

- There.

- Fulton!

[audience laughing]

- Thank you.

[Dylan laughs]

[Fulton clears throat]

- Dinner is served.

- Everything looks delicious, Rosie.

- Well, I had help.

My dear Fulton, of course.

And our new kitchen maid.

Oh, here she is now.

Katherine, I'd like you to meet

the lady of our house.

This is Laura Mayfield.

- Welcome to my home, Katherine.

- Thank you, ma'am.

[Laura laughs]

- Katherine, have you met my daughter?

[audience laughing]

- Your daughter?

Uh.

No, ma'am.

I don't believe I've had the pleasure.

- Well Katherine, this is Katie Lapp.

Oh!

I have it.

- Oh.

Katie Lapp, you say?

Well.

Pleased to meet you, Katie Lapp.

[audience laughing]

- Yes, of course.

You too.

- We've only recently reunited.

You see, Katie grew up on an Amish farm

in Hickory Hollow.

- Miss Laura's been searching for her daughter,

and at long last, Mr. Dylan has found her.

- Katie.

That's a lovely name.

- Thanks.

But it's a little too plain for me.

- But surely you must be used to plain.

- What?

- Plain.

The Amish life is often called the plain life,

but then again, you knew that.

- I knew that.

- She knew that.

- I knew that.

- I've always been curious about Amish life.

- Yeah, me too.

[audience laughing]

That is, uh, curious in an already living there

sort of way.

- Well, there's plenty of food, so eat up.

Come dear.

- Ah, a home cooked meal.

This is great.

I usually just pop something in the microwave.

[dishes clattering]

[audience laughing]

- Excuse me.

[Alyson laughing]

[Dylan laughs]

- That was a joke!

A wee bit of Amish humor!

We Amish do so enjoy our joking around.

[audience laughing]

Yeah.

- Well, let's say the blessing

so we can all eat.

I haven't felt much like eating lately,

but today is a day for celebration.

- Yes.

- Katie.

Would you like to say the blessing?

- Yes!

I mean, yes please do.

I don't mean to interfere,

but I hear Amish prayers are some of the most beautiful.

- Yes Katie, I would like that very much.

[clears throat]

[audience laughing]

- Dearly beloved.

[audience laughing]

Ashes to ashes,

and dust to dust.

And as Noah said to the whale

as the blue sea parted,

I have a dream!

[audience laughing]

♪ Amen

[audience laughing]

[audience applauding]

- That was so special.

[audience laughing]

My adopted mother taught me that.

- I am sure she's a wonderful woman.

She must love you very much, and you her.

- Oh yes.

We're very close.

- What's her name?

- What?

- Your mother.

- Name, um.

You know what?

I really don't know.

I just called her mom.

But, uh- [audience laughing]

I think it might have been Britney.

[Fulton groans] [audience laughing]

Yup, that was it.

- You know, I don't think I've ever heard

of an Amish woman named, um, Britney.

[audience laughing] [audience applauding]

- Oh yeah.

She came from a long line of Britneys.

Does it really matter, Mother?

I'm here with you now.

- I'm sure. [exciting music]

It was a lovely prayer, Katie.

And God knows our hearts.

He knows what we're trying to say.

- Yes.

- How many siblings do you have?

♪ 12 in the house

♪ A lot, you'll agree

♪ Four boys and three girls

♪ Older than me

[gentle piano music]

[playing soft guitar music]

- Do you hear that?

- [Alyson] Hear what?

- That music.

Seems to be coming from upstairs.

- Probably just left the TV on.

- But I thought the Amish didn't-

- I only usually watch TV

when I am at my sewing machine, quilting.

[audience laughing]

- You know Katie, you have very different memories

of growing up Amish than most of the plain folks

I've talked to.

- Well, we were an independent branch.

[audience laughing]

- Where is that lovely music coming from?

- I brought your tea, ladies.

- Thank you, Rosie.

Rosie, is someone playing music in the house?

- Oh, that's our new kitchen maid.

She says it's her boyfriend's song.

I think her boyfriend drowned in a boating accident.

She said that song helps her with her grief.

- [Laura] That's so beautiful.

- Yes.

- So peaceful.

Do have her come down and play it for me here, won't you?

- I know she would be happy to.

- It's so soothing, isn't it Katie?

- Oh yes, it's just luverly.

I meant lovely.

It's just lovely.

- Yes.

Enjoy your tea.

Ya.

[audience applauding]

- Katie?

Come closer.

Katie.

God has finally given me my daughter back.

Right?

- Yeah.

You know what they say.

God works in delirious ways.

[audience laughing]

- I know what you're trying to say, Katie.

This must all seem so overwhelming to you right now.

- Yeah, um, you know what?

It is.

And to tell you the truth, um,

I need to tell you something.

I- - Katie.

I care about you.

While you're still here,

I'd like to introduce you to someone.

- Who's that, Mother?

- My very best friend in the whole world.

- Dylan, your husband?

We've already met.

- No.

Not Dylan.

This friend I have is the most amazing friend

I've ever known.

I have so much to tell you about him,

especially the fact that he loved me so much,

he sacrificed his very life for me.

- Did you find her?

Did you tell her she needs to come inside?

She shouldn't be out playing this late.

- Rebecca, you need to eat.

You need your strength.

Here, take a bite.

- When will she come home, Samuel?

When will our baby come home.

- Rebecca- - Please Samuel!

Go get her!

It'll be dark soon!

Do something!

Please, Samuel!

Do something!

[Rebecca sobbing]

You're gonna go get her?

- What I'm going to go do

is take care of something

I should have taken care of a long time ago.

- I'd love to have a friend like that.

- Someone whose love is unconditional,

who won't stop loving you,

even after you've let him down,

or treated him unkindly.

- You're so kind to everyone.

- I do try.

But it's nice to know I have someone in my life

who will never walk out on me,

and I've never had to do anything

to earn his love.

- I'd say you have one amazing friend there.

You're very lucky.

- It's not luck, Katie.

He loves you too.

That's just who he is.

It's, it's in his nature to be that kind of a friend.

You could meet him too.

I promise he'll show you the very same love

he's shown to me.

- I do hope I get to meet him one day.

Laura, this is really, really hard for me to say,

and as much as I love living here

in this beautiful house, and having servants

and everything, and as much as I think

you're probably the best mother anyone could hope for,

there's something you should-

- Thank you for bringing music

back into my home, Katherine.

- I couldn't live without my music.

- Your mother must be very proud of you.

- I hope so.

Miss Laura.

Could I ask you a question?

- Of course, dear.

- Why did you give your daughter away?

- I don't like to think of it

as giving her away.

I gave her a life she wouldn't have had otherwise,

and I wanted only what was best for her,

and at the time, that seemed best.

- Do you have any regrets?

- Yes.

I regret that I didn't try to find her sooner.

I thought I had more time.

- I have a feeling

she would have loved that.

- She was with a good family.

- Yes.

I'm sure she was.

- Don't get me wrong.

I never stopped thinking about her.

Just because someone's not with you,

or can't be with you, you still think about them.

- I know what you mean.

I've never stopped thinking about my Daniel.

- Daniel?

- We were going to be wed,

but he drowned during a storm.

- I'm so sorry.

- I miss him so much.

I've cried so much, the grief is overwhelming sometimes.

- It rains on everyone, Katherine.

And while I regret not being there

to see my daughter grow up,

I know that she was raised by a wonderful family,

who loved her very much.

They're her true mother and father.

I gave her life, but I like to think

I gave her even more people to love her.

Can you understand that?

- I think so.

Miss Laura?

Do you sew?

- I used to.

I loved embroidery best, but why?

Why do you ask?

- Well there's this dress that I've,

well I've been trying to make all the pieces fit.

- Oh, patchwork.

- You could say that.

Do you think if I brought it down here,

you could take a look at it?

- I'd be happy to, Katherine.

- I'll run up and get it.

I'll be right back!

[Laura chuckles]

- We have to speak to you, Miss Laura.

- Oh Rosie, can it wait?

Katherine has asked me to help her

with some sewing-

- I'm afraid to say

it's of the utmost importance, Miss Laura.

- Let me say this tenderly.

[audience laughing]

You have been duped.

[audience laughing]

- What are you talking about?

- Katie Lapp, she's an imposter.

- An imposter?

- Yes.

Katie Lapp is not your daughter.

- Mr. Dylan must have found out about the will,

and devised a plan to cheat your real daughter

out of her inheritance!

Now, we just got a phone call from her agency.

Seems the woman pretending to be your daughter

is nothing more than a New York actress!

- Oh.

- I'm so sorry to have to tell you, darling.

- Dylan, why would he do this to me?

I need to speak to him right away.

- Well, I'm sorry,

so sorry, Miss Laura.

But Mr. Dylan left alone with a car

and his belongings.

- The actress left as well.

[audience laughing]

- And my daughter is still out there?

Rosie, we have to find her.

- Oh no, we'll find her, Miss Laura.

[Fulton chuckles]

I know we will.

- Finally!

My mother will know I'm hers!

Now where's that dress?

[knocking at door]

[Daniel clears throat]

- May I help you, sir?

- I sure hope so.

Wow.

I'm looking for, uh, Katie Lapp?

She's a pretty Amish girl, and,

well, is she here, by any chance?

- No.

And good riddance.

That's all I've got to say.

Look, save yourself the trouble

of looking for her, young man.

That woman's nothing more

than a wretched, conniving, self-serving

New York diva, and she most certainly isn't Amish!

- I'm sorry, but are you sure it's Katie Lapp

you're talking about?

- Oh, Katie Lapp.

Imposter!

[audience laughing]

Call you what I want,

but it was her all right.

- Well, do you have any idea where she was heading?

- Oh, well my guess would be back to New York,

and none too soon for my liking!

Look, chase after her all you want, son.

But you're better off heeding my warnings.

Stay as far away from Katie Lapp

as you possibly can.

- Okay.

Thank you.

[door closes]

- It's got to be here.

I know I packed it.

[knocking at door]

[Fulton clears throat]

- Oh, it's you again.

- Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you again, sir,

but did Katie say anything to you

about her life?

Anything that would give you a hint

as to her address, people she knows,

any information at all?

She's an old friend, and I'm desperately trying

to locate her.

- I know what you're fishing for.

You're trying to find out if she's married, aren't you?

- Well, um ...

- Yes, well as far as I know,

she's single, which I can totally understand.

I mean, what's a fellow going to do

with a wife like that?

[Fulton groans]

[audience laughing]

I mean, you seem like a nice young man.

Go find yourself someone who's kind and sweet.

- Katie's my first love,

but our relationship's a little more complicated

than one might think.

- [scoffs] Complicated?

Have you met my wife?

[audience laughing]

[audience applauding]

- Well no,

but Katie thinks that I drowned

in a storm two years ago.

- Oh.

Oh yes.

Well I could see that could be

a bit of a problem, yes.

But if you wanted her to think that you were dead

so you didn't have to talk to her,

well, and I totally understand that. [snickers]

[audience laughing]

Why didn't you just restrict her number

on your cellphone?

- Did I say a little more complicated?

I meant it's a lot more complicated than that.

- There you are.

What were you doing, trying to hide from me like that?

- Thank you for your help, sir.

- Ah.

Take care, young man.

- Ooh.

Who was that?

- Young man looking for Katie Lapp.

I tried to warn him.

But young men's hearts don't always make

the best choices.

- Well, it's a good thing he showed up too late.

- Ah, that's what I told him.

But he was determined.

Apparently for some reason, Katie Lapp thinks he drowned,

or well, and now he's come back to tell her

that he's not dead, and he still loves her.

I tell you.

That Katie Lapp.

Life full of drama.

No wonder she's an actress.

- She's a drama queen, all right.

Wait!

You said drowned?

You're my Katherine.

- You're her Katherine!

[audience laughing]

- I knew it!

[audience laughing]

All right, she knew it.

[audience laughing]

- It's a beautiful dress, Mother.

- Oh Katherine, I've finally found you.

- And my search is over!

[Laura laughing]

- And how did this happen?

How did you get here?

- It's a long story.

- Ooh, good.

- No, no, no.

[audience laughing]

- Well we'll leave you two to it.

You've got so much to catch up on.

Oh Katherine, we're so glad that you're here.

- We're so glad to know you, Madame.

- Thank you both.

For everything.

- Oh, Katherine.

There's so much I want to know about you.

Tell me everything.

I don't have much time.

[gentle music]

I've missed so much of your life.

- Oh, Katherine.

[Fulton clears throat]

- I'm sorry to disturb you.

A letter's come for you, Miss Katherine.

- A letter?

For me?

Here?

It's from Hickory Hollow.

It's from my friend Mary.

What?

- What is it, Miss Katherine?

- Daniel is alive?

- Yes!

[audience laughing]

[audience applauding] [audience cheering]

- Miss Rebecca, you need to eat.

Your children need you.

We all need you.

- Rebecca?

Rebecca!

I've just come from the bishop's house.

I have wonderful news.

- We could use some good news around here.

- I had a good long talk with the bishop,

and I confessed that it was our secrecy

that caused this turmoil in the first place,

and how we feel the shunning was too harsh,

and Rebecca, God has moved on his heart.

The bishop said that under the circumstances,

Katie's actions wouldn't be considered rebellion.

He's spoken with the church, and he's lifting the shunning!

- Oh glory be!

That's wonderful news!

- Did you hear me, Rebecca?

The shunning's been lifted!

- Now I can write Katie another letter!

[audience laughing]

Oops.

Uh, I mean I, uh,

all right, I confess.

I did write to her.

I know it was wrong, but well, I had to.

Katie needed to know what was going on

with Dan and her parents

and with you and Rebecca and her-

- We understand, Mary.

- There, that feels good to get that off my chest.

[audience laughing]

We certainly don't need anymore secrets around here.

- Isn't it wonderful?

It's all over.

We can talk to Katie now.

- My baby?

- Yeah.

- I can see my baby?

- We'll contact her as soon as possible.

- Oh, this is the best news Hickory Hollow

has had in years!

- It is indeed, it is indeed!

- Oh!

[audience laughing]

[audience applauding]

- So that's the story, Mother.

According to my friend Mary,

Daniel just showed up on her porch one day

out of nowhere.

- You do lead an interesting life, my dear.

- I don't even know what to say to him.

He let me believe he was dead for two years.

- Yes.

But you know his heart.

Do you still love him?

- I've never stopped loving Daniel Fisher.

You know that song you heard me play?

Daniel and I wrote it.

It's our song.

- It's a beautiful song.

- So, why do you think he let me believe he was dead

for two years?

- Sometimes people do, say things,

when they're confused or afraid of losing

the very thing they want to hold onto.

I think I understand your Daniel.

I was in that place once.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him.

Katherine.

I'm so glad you came.

At last, the missing piece of my heart has been found.

- I'm glad I came, too.

- We were both searching for each other

and didn't even know it. [laughing]

- I love you, Laura Mayfield.

- And I love you, Katherine Mayfield.

And I don't want you to ever think my goal

in searching for you was to take your mother's place.

- I know.

I will always love the mama who raised me,

but it has been an answer to my prayers

to find the one who has the color of my hair,

and whose blood runs through my veins.

- Katherine.

I wish we had more time.

I'm so tired.

I'm so very tired.

- You can rest now, Mother.

I'm here now.

I won't leave you.

- Katherine, I'm,

I've kept a journal all these years.

I wanted you to know everything about me,

and every time I thought of you

I'd write in it.

And Katherine.

There's something else you need to know.

- What is it?

- Everything I have is yours.

- Oh.

Well that's so very generous.

But I don't need a big house like this,

and all these beautiful ...

Mother?

Mother?

Rosie!

- Yes, dear?

- Real estate sales down.

Stock market plunges.

Mistress Mayfield died Wednesday of lengthy illness

and leaves Amish daughter mansion.

Oof, gas prices.

Wait, wait.

What?

Mistress Mayfield?

Laura Mayfield died Wednesday of a lengthy illness.

Katherine Mayfield, her daughter,

who had been raised on an Amish farm in Hickory Hollow?

That's gotta be my Katie.

I'm going back to that house.

And this time, I'm not leaving until I find out

where Katie is.

[Rosie sniffling]

- Oh, I know you said you would be fine up here.

But I know Miss Laura would want you to stay

downstairs in her room.

It's my favorite room in the house,

it's, it's where the morning sun comes in,

and it's always just bright and cheery.

[Rosie sobbing]

I do miss her.

- I do too.

- I'll take your suitcase down for you.

- Rosie.

Thank you.

You've been so good to me.

- Oh, sweet girl.

I will say you pack awful light. [laughing]

[audience laughing]

- I was raised to live simply.

- Well, this is simple, all right.

[audience laughing]

[Rosie sighs]

Do you miss that old life?

- I miss my mama.

- Yeah?

- The one who raised me.

The one who birthed me in her heart.

And my father, of course.

And the rest of my family,

but I'm not sorry I came here.

- Do you think you'll ever go back?

Maybe visit?

- I can't.

- What?

- When I left the plain life to start my search,

I was shunned.

No one's allowed to talk to me,

or even to say my name.

It's all right.

I love and respect my Amish family very much,

but now I know the plain life isn't for me.

But I would like to see my mama.

Mary said she isn't doing very well.

- Then you should write to her.

- But she's not allowed to-

- It doesn't matter.

If she throws it away, she throws it away.

But you write to her anyway.

Never give up.

- I do miss her so.

- Yes.

She was a good mother.

- The best.

[Rosie chuckles]

- Then write to her.

Get your pen and paper and start writing, young lady.

[knocking at door]

- Hello?

Hi, yes-

- Oh, it's you again.

[door slams]

[audience laughing]

[knocking at door]

- Hello!

This is really important!

- Oh, oh it's you!

- Yeah! - Yes!

[door slamming] [audience laughing]

- [Daniel] Hello?

- Miss Katherine!

Miss Katherine! - I can see you in there!

- Come quickly!

- [Katie] What is it, Fulton?

- [Dylan] I need to find out

some information about Katie Lapp!

- You, come in! - Yeah!

- That's it, get in.

- What?

- Stand- - Listen, I need to-

- No, stand right there.

- What is going on? - Stand right there.

Miss Katherine, Miss Katherine!

- Fulton, what is ...

Daniel.

- Katie.

[both laughing]

- Oh Daniel, I missed you so much!

- Oh wait til Rosie hears about this!

[audience laughing]

Rosie!

Rosie!

- That one. [laughing]

- Something.

- Yeah, something.

I'm so sorry, Katie.

What I did to you was unforgivable.

I never meant to hurt you,

but can you, will you?

- Daniel.

Shh.

- You're not upset?

- Mary explained it all to me.

- So you'll forgive me?

- On one condition.

- Anything.

- Daniel Fisher.

You are never going fishing without me

for as long as you live!

[Daniel laughs] [audience laughing]

- So does that mean

that you'll still marry me?

- Does that mean you're still asking?

- I love you, Katie Lapp.

- It's Katherine Mayfield.

[Daniel laughs]

- Well, not for long.

You look more like a Katherine Fisher to me.

[audience cheering] [audience applauding]

- Oh my.

I have a wedding to plan!

- Oh!
