My Amish Double Life (2025) Movie Script
[eerie suspenseful music]
[birds chirping]
[horse hooves clattering]
- [Emma] It's a beautiful day!
- [Isaac] It is.
[Emma] I was able to finish
the laundry before breakfast.
Mother was very happy.
- [Isaac] Wonderful.
- [Emma] One less chore.
- [Isaac] One less chore.
- [Emma giggles]
I'm so very proud of you, Emma.
You're wiser than most of
the men in our community.
Father! [Giggles]
[Isaac] You are smart,
strong, responsible,
and you will make a
wonderful mother one day.
Oh, I prayed for a daughter.
Made this for you on
the day you were born,
and I hope one day you
give it to your daughter.
- [gentle pensive music]
- [birds chirping]
Thank you, Father.
I will treasure it.
Good.
[birds chirping]
[Isaac] Look at
these wild onions.
[gasps] Mother's favorite!
Eh, I brought the wrong shovel.
Oh, I'll get the hand trowels.
[gentle bright music]
[birds chirping]
- [man exclaims and laughs]
- [suspenseful music]
[Isaac] Hello?
Hello?
[foreboding music]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music]
Oh, [gasps] hello, Mother.
Sorry, you startled me.
Oh, I'm sorry, Dear.
Where's your father?
I thought you were together.
We forgot the trowels,
and we found a surprise.
[Mary chuckles]
[gentle suspenseful music]
[birds chirping]
[gentle foreboding music]
[gentle suspenseful music]
Father? Father?
Hello?
- [birds chirping]
- [wind whooshing]
[man exclaims]
Father? [Panting] Where are you?
[suspenseful music]
Father, where are you?
[dramatic music]
Father! Father!
Father! Please, please, please!
Oh my God! [Sobs]
Please help!
Please, please help me,
please help me. Please!

[birds chirping]
[gentle solemn music]
[Isaac] Oh, I prayed
for a daughter.
[Emma sighs]
[solemn music]
You are smart,
strong, responsible,
and one day you will
make a wonderful mother.

[Emma sighing]
- [birds chirping]
- [Emma sniffles]
[gentle wistful music continues]
[footsteps tapping]
Mother?
- [Emma gasps]
- [dramatic music]
Emma?
Bishop David? Why are you here?
Widows need guidance with
their husband's business.
He offered to help.
Isn't that nice?
Here are the deeds
you requested.
[Emma]
If you really wanted to help,
you and the elders could
put more of an effort
into finding out
how my father died.
We honored him with
a proper burial
and the needed time of mourning.
[Emma] You should've allowed the
police to ask more questions!
They concluded that
he slipped and fell.
That should be the end of it.
But I heard and saw
someone running off.
They could have seen it
or even done something,
- and I...
- [Mary] Emma, enough!
I'm sure finding him out there
must have been heartbreaking.
But this obsession
is not going to help.
Only prayer can
console you now, child.
[soft somber music]
I have chores.
[somber suspenseful music]
[insects rustling]
[birds chirping]
[door creaks]
[somber music]
[door thuds]
You've been quiet.
Is this still about your father?
I miss him so much.
I do too.
I know that you and your
father shared a closeness.
It's a void that I can't fill,
but Emma, I'm
always here for you.
Then why don't you wanna know
what really happened to him?
Would knowing bring him back?
Maybe it would bring me peace.
[somber music]
[birds chirping]
[footsteps tapping]
- [Mary gasping]
- [gentle suspenseful music]
- [soft foreboding music]
- [birds chirping]
[dog barking]
[Emma] Hello? Hello?
[leaves rustling]
Who's there? Hello?
- [suspenseful music]
- Hello?
- [dramatic music]
- [Mary screams]
Shh, shh, shh!
It's me, it's me, it's me.
Goodness, Rebecca.
You scared me!
What are doing out here?
Is that a cell phone?
- Can I see it?
- [Rebecca giggles]
[chuckles] Have you
been out all night
in the English world again?
Whatever do you mean?
I've been in my room sleeping.
[both laugh]
[Emma] So tell me about
the English world.
You know, [sighs]
with Father gone
and Mother excommunicated,
I don't know, I guess I just
needed to see it for myself
and try to understand.
I suppose I was looking
for a distraction,
or answers? [Sighs]
[Emma] Maybe, um, sometime I
could go to the city with you?
You? Really?
I don't know. It's pretty risky.
I... I'll think about it.
Okay. [Scoffs]
I better get back to the house.
Hey, we'll always
have our community
and each other.
Okay? Okay.
- [birds chirping]
- [gentle bright music]
- [Emma exclaims and sighs]
- [bucket rattles]
[Emma groaning]
[intensifying suspenseful music]
[Emma sighs]
[intensifying dramatic music]
[Emma exclaims and gasps]
[Caleb chuckles]
- Goodness, Caleb!
- [hand smacking]
Oh you half scared me to death!
Well, you looked
like you needed help,
so I gave you a hand.
I could have done it myself.
I know, but I like helping you
and I've missed you. [Scoffs]
Well, I have not seen you
much since you've been back.
Why?
When are you going
to let me take you
on a carriage ride again?
Why do you change the subject?
I've heard that you were
resistant at service last week.
I'm trying, Emma.
Ever since my Rumspringa,
I have struggled a bit.
It's hard to see what's out
there and then come back here.
I thought Rumspringa
was supposed to be fun.
Maybe too much fun.
I'm trying not to let it
influence me any further.
I still would love to hear
about your experience.
There's just not
that much to tell.
I've realized I'm
ready to be baptized,
settle down, find a wife...
[insects rustling]
[birds chirping]
Emma, you know how I've
always felt about you,
and we've always been close.
I wish to be closer.
Emma, will you marry me?
Oh, um, [clears throat]
Caleb, this is, uh,
quite unexpected, um...
I'm, I'm very flattered,
but I must say no.
[gasps] Wha-why?
I, before I left, I thought
you felt something for me.
And...
I'm sorry I wasn't here when
your father died, but I...
I understand and
I-I'm sorry too.
I- I just, I don't
think I'm ready for...
[Caleb]
No, I'm sorry. Never mind.
You know, I... I should have gone
to your mother
for her permission
- and her blessings.
- [Mary] Emma, I...
Oh, Caleb.
Mrs. Miller. I was just, um...
[Mary] I do hope that you're not
distracting Emma from her work.
No, ma'am, of course not.
[soft suspenseful music]
I do hope we can talk later.
[birds chirping]
[soft slow suspenseful music]
There's still much to do.
- [soft slow bright music]
- [Emma sighs]
- [insects rustling]
- [birds chirping]
[knuckles rapping]
Emma!
Is your uncle home.
[Rebecca] No.
[birds chirping]
So I was thinking,
are you ready to see
the English world?
I think so.
I never experienced
my own Rumspringa
and Caleb won't
tell me about his.
He's probably just
embarrassed, but never mind.
I think it could
be good for you.
See what it's all about
and decide for yourself.
[soft gentle bright music]
I am ready.
[scoffs] I don't think
you're quite ready.
If you wanna move
through the English world
and not let them know
that you're Amish,
you need to speak like them,
and you need to look like them.
We'll work on it.
So does that mean
you'll take me?
You realize what we're
risking if we get caught?
We'll be shunned,
excommunicated,
so you can't tell a soul ever.
Are you sure?
Okay.
We go tonight.
Go, get ready.
[Emma gasps]
[soft gentle bright music]
[soft gentle suspenseful music]
[insects chirping]
[gentle suspenseful music]
- [birds chirping]
- [insects chirping]
[gentle dramatic music]
Rebecca? Rebecca?
[suspenseful music]
- Emma!
- [Emma gasps]
Sorry.
So? What do you think?
[scoffs] You want
me to wear that?
Well, you definitely can't
go out looking like that.
- [both chuckle]
- Come on, get ready.
- Go!
- [soft gentle bright music]
Mm. How's it look?
Oh, good.
Okay.
- [soft bright music]
- [insects chirping]
You look so hot!
- [both chuckle]
- Here, let me take a picture.
Okay, well, you can't just
stand there like a stick.
Put your hands on your hips.
Mm-hmm, bevel a foot,
and stick a hip out.
There you go. We'll work on it.
See, you look so hot.
Right?
Oh my gosh.
Okay, come on. Let's go.
- Okay.
- [both giggle]
- It's gonna be so fun.
- [Emma giggles]
- [bright upbeat music]
- [singer vocalizing]
[crowd cheering]
[Rebecca] Oh, here, memorize the
info in case they ask questions,
- Jade.
- [Emma] This girl has brown
hair. I'm... I'm blonde!
So you changed it.
[Emma sighs]
- [bright upbeat music]
- [crowd cheering]
[singer vocalizing]
Okay.
[sighs] Thank you.
Thank you.
So isn't this amazing?
[Emma] Yeah!
Let's grab a drink.
[Emma] Uh, I need to go
to the bathroom.
Okay. Meet me on
the dance floor.
Okay.
[bright upbeat music]
Ooh! Go get me a drink, bud.
- All right, okay.
- Hey, make sure
they pour it strong too.
[muffled upbeat music]
[Emma sighs]
You got this.
[Emma scoffs]
Hm!
[upbeat music]
Hey, I'm Carl.
Saw you walk in, I just
thought you look so beautiful.
Oh, uh, thank you.
You here with friends,
family, just like to party?
Uh, I-I actually need
to get back to my friend.
Well, don't be such a snob
when all I'm trying
to do is be nice.
It's my first night here, so if,
if you could please move, I...
I think you need to let her go.
Yeah? Whatever, dude.
[upbeat music]
Are you okay?
[Carl] She's fine.
Seems like you're
causing her problems,
which means you and I are
about to have a problem.
How about you just go to the
bar and get us some drinks?
- I've got. [Grunts]
- [gate crashing]
[Emma gasps]
Chill. Chill, chill, chill!
Just chill. We're
good, we're good.
- We're good.
- [upbeat music]
[sighs] Guys like that
give us such a bad rap.
[scoffs] Are you okay?
Yeah.
Your hands, they're shaking.
[energetic upbeat music]
How about some water?
- Okay?
- [Emma] Mm.
Yeah?
[bright upbeat music]
Hey, Jimmy, glass
of water, please,
and a vodka soda for me.
No problem.
[sigh] Thank you for helping me.
It's nothing. Dude's an idiot.
Pretty sure women are always
wiser and smarter than men.
That's funny.
Why?
My father once said that
he thought I was wiser
than most of the
men that he knew.
Well, then he and I think alike.
[energetic upbeat music]
Here we go.
Cheers. I'm Heath.
I'm... Jade.
[bright upbeat music]
So Jade, first time here?
Mm-hmm.
[slow bright upbeat music]
Hey, uh, do you wanna dance?
- [Emma sighs]
- [ice rattling]
[crowd cheering]
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
I don't really
know how to dance.
There's nothing to it.
First and foremost,
just relax, have fun.
And if you're ever
unsure what to do,
just jump and spin.
Like this?
I'm just kidding.
All right, move
to the beat. Okay?
There you go.
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
Like this?
[Heath] Just like that.
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
This okay?
Mm-hmm.
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
[Emma chuckles]
[Rebecca]
Come on, we gotta go!
It's getting late.
I have to go.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Wanna have dinner? Maybe lunch?
Uh, maybe?
Gimme me your phone.
I don't have a phone.
I mean, I don't
have my phone on me.
Okay, then meet me at
Baker Street, one o'clock.
If you make it, you make it.
If you don't, I'll
be disappointed,
but I'll understand.
Okay.
[bright upbeat music]
Bye.
[Heath sighs]
[bright upbeat music continues]
[Emma] Is that what the English
world is always like? [Laughs]
[Rebecca]
I told you, it's pretty crazy.
Oh! Oh, what an amazing night.
I'm glad you had fun.
It's more than that.
I... I feel...
Alive?
Inspired.
So are you gonna go
back and meet him?
I don't know. We have
Sunday service tomorrow.
Play sick. What's one service?
[bright music]
You keep it. It
looks better on you.
Besides, you need options
for different occasions.
Oh! And this.
Just in case you go
back to meet him.
You'll need it for a ride share.
Thank you. You're the best.
- Fun, right?
- Yeah. Very. [Giggles]
[insects chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[intensifying suspenseful music]
- [insects rustling]
- [birds chirping]
- [Emma sighing]
- [gentle bright music]
[Mary] Emma?
- Uh.
- [Mary] Emma, are you up?
Yes, Mother!
[Mary] We're gonna
be late for service
if you don't get a move on.
[gentle dramatic music]
I'm, I'm almost ready.
I heard noises last night.
Were you having restless sleep?
[Emma] As soon as I settled in,
I slept like a newborn.
Hm, great.
Okay, well, get a move-on.
Yes, Mother.
- [gentle suspenseful music]
- [door thuds]
[Emma sighs]
[David]
As I have said many times,
the outside world will
always offer us temptations
to challenge our faith.
But we must not bend.
We must keep rigid in
our four core values;
Faith, family, community,
and simplicity.
And that is a Godly life.
So if there are no
other words to honor God
or raise up this community...
I would like to say something.
Emma, what are you doing?
[Emma]
Since my father's death,
I have struggled with
our four pillars,
since I feel ignored
and pushed aside,
when there is something in
my heart I know to be true.
Someone else was in the woods
the day of my father's death.
We need to request a more
thorough investigation
from the police and
ideally an autopsy.
So all I am asking
is for my community
to put their faith in
me and honor my father.
[soft melancholic music]
[gentle apprehensive music]
[Mary] Emma, wait!
Emma, will you stop?
You realize you are asking me
to exhume your father's body.
You should have come to me first
before putting your
feelings on display.
Just yesterday I came to you.
You said you'd be there
for me, but you're not.
I am there for you.
This is just a matter that
needs to be handled privately.
[Emma sighs and scoffs]
Emma! Emma!
[gentle suspenseful music]
[Mary sighs]
[birds chirping]
[gentle dramatic music]
[door thuds]
[Emma sighs]
[subtle suspenseful music]
[subtle suspenseful
music continues]
Hi. Hi, are you going
to, to Baker Street?
[Driver] Yes, I am. Hop in.
Okay.
[subtle suspenseful music]
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
Is there a reservation
for Heath here?
Uh, let me see.
Oh, I see him.
- Oh! Enjoy!
- Thank you.
[gentle romantic music]
Hi. I am so sorry I'm late.
[sighs] I knew you'd be here.
Is something wrong?
Oh, nothing. Just
you look beautiful.
I... I mean, don't get me wrong;
You looked great in the dark,
but lunch lighting
looks good on you too.
But now having my own company,
I feel like I have a lot
more flexibility and freedom.
Don't get me wrong, I
still work like a dog,
but what can I say it's,
uh, it's high pressure
in a club brawl.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
- [Heath chuckles]
[soft brooding music]
Heath, I have to
tell you something.
You know, there's,
uh, something I,
I have to tell you too.
Oh! Okay.
Look, I'm just getting
out of a relationship
and it's taking a lot longer
than originally anticipated
because we shared our
business together.
Anyway, it's complicated.
And it's been a while
since I've dated
anyone, so... [sighs]
Okay.
[Heath]
I'm, I'm just telling you this
because I wanna be
honest, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
[sighs] I... I didn't mean
to drop all that on you.
It's just my ex lied to me and
oh, anyway... [sighs]
I appreciate your honesty.
Okay, enough of the heavy
stuff for now, right?
Let's talk games.
Are you any good at
ping pong, darts, pool?
Um, probably not. [Chuckles]
Well, you know, it's
still pretty early.
If you have to head
back, totally cool,
but if you wanna stick around
for a little while longer,
play some games?
I can give you a
ride back after.
[soft gentle music]
No pressure.
Okay.
[gentle sanguine music]
[birds chirping]
[gentle bright music]
[car doors thud]
This is amazing.
Glad you like it.
Come on.
[gentle bright music]
[gentle music]
[door thuds]
[Emma] This is all yours?
Uh-huh.
Can I get you
something to drink?
I make a mean
strawberry margarita.
Oh, I don't drink.
At least, I-I
haven't in a while.
Water or soda, then?
Uh, actually, I'll
have a small margarita.
I'll see what I can do.
Have a look outside.
It's beautiful out there.
Make yourself at home.
[gentle sanguine music]
- [water splashing]
- [gentle music]
[insects chirping]
Drink's up.
[gentle sanguine music]
Thank you.
You like the view?
Yeah, it's incredible.
Cheers.
[phone chiming]
[sighs] You gotta be kidding me.
I have to hop on a
flight to Chicago.
Deal's closing in the morning,
and I have to be there.
Oh yeah. I-I-I can go.
I don't wanna be in your way.
No, you don't have to leave.
You can stay here,
enjoy the pad.
Make yourself at home.
There's uh... There's a stocked
fridge, movies, music, bathtub.
[Emma scoffs]
Or I can take you
back to your family.
No pressure.
[gentle music]
You know what? You don't
have to decide now.
You can think about it.
Okay.
- [gentle music]
- [birds chirping]
Have a good trip.
[Heath] Be back in the morning.
Okay. Be safe!
- [gentle music]
- [birds chirping]
[car door thuds]
- [car starts]
- [car engine rumbling]
[soft gentle music]
[Emma giggles]

[dog growls]
[Emma chuckles]
[ominous music]
[Woman] No! [Sobs]
- [slow suspenseful music]
- [water sloshing]
Hello?
Heath?
Hello?
Hello? Heath?
[slow suspenseful
music continues]
Okay, if you're
trying to scare me,
I don't find this
kind of thing funny.
- [Emma panting]
- [suspenseful music]
Hello?
[dramatic music]
Oh my God.
Oh my God!
- [Emma gasps]
- [blow strikes]
- [insects chirping]
- [soft slow suspenseful music]
[Emma gasps]
[intense suspenseful music]
[Emma] Oh my God! [Gasping]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
No! No, no, no, no. [Sobbing]
[dramatic suspenseful

[Emma panting]
- [scythe clangs]
- [water sloshing]

- [Emma sighs]
- [twig snaps]
- [ominous music]
[Caleb] Emma!
Caleb! What are
you doing out here?
Oh, I was with David.
[gloomy music]
Are your arms okay?
W... What happened to your arms?
I was, um, going for
a walk and I fell.
[suspenseful music]
Where you coming from?
Oh, um, I was just headed home.
I was at Rebecca's
and I couldn't sleep,
so I took the long way home.
Hm.
- I'll walk you home.
- No, thank you. Good night.
[gentle suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
- [footsteps tapping]
- [Mary sighing]
[soft slow suspenseful music]
- [Mary] Emma?
- [Emma gasps]
Why are you coming
through the window?
Ah. I didn't wanna wake you.
[Mary sighs]
[suspenseful music]
Where have you been?
I was just clearing my head.
I'm sorry about earlier.
It's okay. I was just
worried about you.
I'm sorry, too.
[somber music]
You look tired.
Let's get some rest.
[insects chirping]
[gentle apprehensive music]
[Emma sighs]
[dramatic music]
- [birds chirping]
- [suspenseful music]
[ominous music]
Emma? Are you okay?
Did something happen last night?
Where did you go?
I just wanna get back
to life the way it was.
Well, that starts by
getting out of bed.
Uh, let me wash up first.
Okay.
[gentle morose music]
[dramatic music]
[car engine rumbling]
[suspenseful music]
[soft suspenseful music]
Hello?
[door creaking]
- [door thuds]
- Jade, I'm back.
Hello?
- [dramatic music]
- Oh, no, Kim!
[Heath exclaims and gags]
Oh my God. [Gasping]
[suspenseful music]
- [phone keys clacking]
- [intense suspenseful music]
[slow dramatic music]
[Emma panting]
[dramatic music]
[intensifying dramatic music]
- [birds chirping]
- [soft suspenseful music]
[fire crackling]
[ominous music]
[flames whooshing]
[Rebecca] So did you go?
I wanna hear every
single detail.
Hey, that's my
stuff. Wait, stop!
What is this about?
You don't understand.
What happened.
[Emma]
Heath left me at his house.
I came downstairs and there
was a woman dead on the floor.
Someone hit me, knocked me out.
I woke up and I was
covered in blood.
I- I-I just, I didn't
know what to do.
I was gonna call the
police, but I got scared.
I just ran.
[panting] And you're
sure she's dead?
- [birds chirping]
- [gentle poignant music]
Go ahead, throw it in.
You need to cover your
tracks the best you can.
[sighs] Are you okay?
I'm not. I just, I feel
so guilty, Rebecca.
[Rebecca]
Hey. Hey, stop that.
No, I should have
done something.
I shouldn't have just run.
What could you have
done if you stayed?
Wha. [Sighs]
[Rebecca] Did you see anyone
else? Did anyone see you?
No.
Did you see it happen?
Then you would've just gotten
yourself into more trouble.
So from this point on,
you forget about it.
All of it. Okay?
There is one more thing
and we can't burn it.
- [fire crackling]
- [birds chirping]
[ominous music]
Where did you get that?
It was in my hand
when I woke up.
Okay, I have an idea. Come on.
- Okay.
- [Rebecca] Come on!
Okay.
[slow suspenseful music]
Are you sure about this?
What if somebody finds it?
It's our secret.
No one will ever know. You
can't tell a soul ever.
We must not ever discuss
any of our travels
or any of what happened.
Never. Not with anyone.
Of course. Never.
[somber music]
Rebecca, I just feel awful.
I know you do.
I wish there was
more we could do,
but this is the
best option, okay?
[sighs] Thank you. Rebecca.
I don't know what
I'd do without you.
- [gentle dramatic music]
- [Emma sighs]
[birds chirping]
[David] Mmm!
[Mary] Emma prepared
the meal herself.
You've had us worried over
your outburst the other day.
Hm. I let my grief
get the better of me.
It won't happen again.
[gentle ominous music]
And all that business about
exhuming your father's body?
I don't even really
remember saying that.
Then I don't think
you need to worry
about any repercussions
from the elders
over your little tantrum.
[gentle bright music]
[birds chirping]
I'll be back soon, Mother!
[Mary] All right, dear.
[ominous music]
[broom rustling]
[soft suspenseful music]
[knuckles rapping]
Hello, Caleb, Emma's not here,
and I'm not sure when
she's gonna be back.
Actually, I'm, um,
here to speak with you,
if you have the time.
Very well.
[door thuds]
[birds chirping]
I'm here asking for your
permission to pursue Emma
with the hopes that she
will agree to marry me.
Have you broached
this with Emma?
I have. But your support
is equally important to me.
Hm.
Well, in the end it's
not really up to me,
it's up to her.
But, I do appreciate you
coming here the way you have.
So you have my
permission to marry Emma.
You don't know how much this
means to me, Mrs. Miller.
I'll see myself out.
[Mary chuckles]
Thank you Mrs. Miller.
[Emma] Did you and my mother
have a nice conversation?
Emma? I was just going
to come find you.
So you two think you
know what's best for me?
No, that's not it.
Do I get a say in who I
marry? Or is this deal done?
Emma, that's not what this is.
[Emma] It's bad enough that
no one respects me
or my feelings in
this community.
Not you, not my mother,
not Bishop David.
But now I get no
say in who I marry?
Emma, I want to prove to you
that I can be the
man you deserve,
and that we can be close like
we were before my Rumspringa.
That I will be a good
husband... protect you.
- A good father...
- [church bell ringing]
[slow suspenseful music]
[church bell continues ringing]
[suspenseful music]
Do you know what this is about?
Did you say anything?
No. Did you?
No. Why would I?
[Rebecca] I don't know.
'Cause you felt bad?
[Emma] I did, but I
promise I said nothing.
Okay.
All I know is that Uncle
left in a hurry this morning.
[David] Could all of the young
women ages 18 to 25
please step forward?
[suspenseful music]
Please line up,
shoulder-to-shoulder.
This is starting
to feel pointless.
From the way you describe Jade
as someone who doesn't
drink, doesn't drive,
who's naive and
lives far from town,
we're looking for
an Amish woman.
[dramatic music]
Fine.
How many of
these places are there?
Only a few left. So
let's keep going.
Okay.
[gentle suspenseful music]
[birds chirping]
[eerie suspenseful music]
You! Eyes up.
[suspenseful music]
Hello, Jade.
- [dramatic music]
- This is her.
This is the girl I met at the
club who came to my house,
stayed after I left.
What's your name? Real name?
Emma Miller.
Well, Emma Miller, we need
to ask you a few questions.
What is this?
What's going on?
We need to speak
with this woman.
There's been a murder
in this man's home.
Well, I am this woman's mother
and you will be
doing no such thing.
You're making a mistake,
she's never even
left the community.
Mother!
[suspenseful music]
Come with me.
I need to be with her.
Ma'am, please.
David?
[sighs] If you don't mind,
please allow the girl's
mother to sit in.
[gentle suspenseful music]
Fine.
[dramatic music]
You wait by the car.
[dramatic music continues]
[Fisher]
Emma, I'm Detective Fisher
and this is my partner,
Detective Moreno.
We need you to tell us
everything that happened.
I understand.
So you were at his house in
Fort Wayne, for how long?
[Emma] Not long.
As soon as we got there,
Heath got a text message
that he had to go to Chicago.
So he left.
Soon as he left, the house
felt big and intimidating.
I mean, look at where
I'm from. So I left.
[gentle suspenseful music]
[Fisher] So you
never saw this woman?
[foreboding music]
[Moreno] She was killed with
a sharp instrument,
like a knife, in her own home.
She lived there?
This is Kim Halverson.
Heath's wife.
What?
I never met this woman. I
have never spoken to her.
Heath never mentioned he
had a wife. I had no idea.
[Moreno]
So what time did you leave?
The sun had just set.
I- if I may?
Why are you not questioning
this poor woman's husband?
I mean, how do we know
that he actually went to...
Where was it? Chicago?
We have confirmation
that he boarded the plane
at 7:00 PM and landed
in Chicago at 8:25.
He couldn't have done it.
I see.
[slow ominous music]
[Emma] I am sorry for the shame
I've brought on our family.
I hope you can find it in
your heart to forgive me
and help me find
a way out of this.
A false witness breathes
many lies, Emma.
[Emma sighs]
But I do believe you
and I forgive you.
You don't have it in
your heart to kill.
I could never, Mother. Never!
[solemn music]
So what do I do?
[Mary]
Well, the bishop and the elders
have decided you will
be excommunicated,
and you can't sit
idly by around here
and wait for the
police to return,
because they will.
[slow dramatic music]
Mother, can I be honest
about one last thing?
Why yes, of course.
[gentle suspenseful music]
I still don't believe
that father fell.
Somebody else was
there that day.
I saw them in the woods!
Maybe this is all
connected somehow.
I mean, Caleb has been acting
strangely the last few days
and I believe he
may be following me!
Could he have something
to do with this?
And what about our
land? Our farm?
Why did Bishop David come and
suddenly take our legal deeds?
I know I sound mad,
but something is not adding up.
And Heath has to know I
did not kill his wife.
I have to convince him.
[somber music]
Okay, I understand.
We'll get through this together.
[gentle dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
[Mary] Emma, you'll need a
change of clothes.
If the police are
looking for you,
they'll be looking
for an Amish woman.
Thank you, Mother.
[exclaims] Be smart, be safe,
and be careful.
You'll find the answers.
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
[Mary gasps]
[intensifying dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[knuckles rapping]
[soft suspenseful music]
I don't know what in the
hell you think you're doing
by coming here, but
I'm calling the police.
Heath, Heath! Please stop, okay?
I... I. Give me a chance
to tell you the truth.
I know the truth.
[Emma]
I know you think you know,
but you don't, okay?
Please just, just
hear me out. Okay?
[gentle soft dramatic music]
Five minutes.
[sighs] Thank you.
[gentle dramatic
music continues]
[door thuds]
[suspenseful music]
Detectives! Can I help you?
Search warrant.
Is Emma home?
No.
[Moreno] Where is she?
I don't know.
[suspenseful music]
[intensifying suspenseful music]
[Emma]
That's what happened!
Okay, [sighs] let's just, uh,
let's just say I
believe your story
about a third person
staging all of this.
Why come to me?
I need you to believe me,
and I need your help, please.
[gentle dramatic music]
I never thought it was done
maliciously or cold-blooded.
I thought you just got scared,
and in the heat of the
moment, you just lashed out.
I promise, I could never
hurt or kill anyone!
You were here when it happened.
[Emma] Yes, I was, but I didn't
even know you were married.
You never said that!
I did.
[scoffs] You said
you were getting
out of a long-term relationship,
not that she was
living here with you.
Okay, she wasn't living here.
We were legally separated.
All right? She had her
own place across town.
Well, why was she here
at your place then?
I don't know. Maybe
to pick up some mail?
It could have been
any number of reasons.
Well, I wanna find the
person who actually did this.
The police are doing that.
[Emma]
No, they are focused on me.
They're not focused
on the person
who killed your wife.
Please, Heath, you
have to believe me!
Who else knows all this?
Um, just you, my mother,
uh, and Rebecca, that's it.
[gentle suspenseful music]
Look, my neighbor has
a security camera.
He called and said he was
gonna bring over the footage.
Maybe that'll clear things up.
[suspenseful music]
I don't see a scythe anywhere.
That's the one with the
curved blade, right?
[Fisher] Mm-hmm.
Of course we have
one. It was Isaac's.
It has his initials
on the handle.
I'm sure I can find
it. Give me a minute.
[Fisher] Hold on. Our
investigator found something.
Take us to the fire pit.
Of course. Right this way.
- [doorbell rings]
- [gentle suspenseful music]
[Barry] Hey, buddy. Here it is.
How you doing? You okay?
[Heath] Yeah. Hanging in there.
Trying to get to
the bottom of this.
[Barry] I didn't have time
to look at it,
but hopefully there's something
there that can help you.
Thanks, Barry.
- [Barry] You're welcome.
- Appreciate it.
I'll take this to the police.
[Barry] Good luck.
[gentle suspenseful music]
All right, this is it.
Let's see what we got.
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
Jade Miller.
We need to know where your
daughter is right now.
[suspenseful music]
That's Kim being dropped off.
[slow suspenseful music]
Then you. Running.
[Emma sighs]
Wait, go back!
[keyboard key clicks]
Right there. There's
someone in the bushes.
[Heath] Who is that?
Can we, can we go
through it again?
And this time just
a little bit slower.
[suspenseful music]
Could be a guy. Hard to tell.
It's so dark.
Is he wearing a hat?
Oh my God.
What?
[dramatic music]
I know who it is.
Who?
It has to be Caleb.
I saw him in the
woods that night!
His arms were all
scratched up and bloody.
I'm sure he was following me!
Maybe he followed me here.
Maybe he was trying
to confront you
and he ran into Kim instead.
[soft suspenseful music]
Heath, I know you have
no reason to believe me,
but give me a chance
to prove it to you.
How?
Come with me to Caleb's house.
[Heath chuckles wryly]
No, listen, you can hide,
I'll get him to confess.
Look, no offense, but this is
your problem. It's not mine.
[Emma]
He may have killed your wife!
Don't you wanna know the truth?
[phone ringing]
Hey, I'm sorry, I
just gotta take this.
Sure.
[Heath] I'll just be a minute.
[phone continues ringing]
[phone clicks]
Hey.
Yeah.
I thought you already did that.
Why not?
Look, slow down. Just
tell me what happened.
All right, I'll take
care of it myself.
No, I don't want.
I'll do it. Yeah,
it'll all work out.
I've got this.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- [Heath] Are you okay?
- She's fine!
[Carl scoffs]
[suspenseful music]
Hey. What's wrong?
Stay there.
Okay. Okay, just
relax, all right?
Why do you have a
photo with the guy
who harassed me at the club?
[suspenseful music]
I wish you hadn't seen that.
[Emma gasps]
[Heath sighs]
It was s-stupid.
I hadn't white-knighted
in years.
"White-knighted"?
It's a college thing.
Y... You pick out a girl you like
and that you wanna impress.
One guy plays the jerk,
which allows the other guy
to come in and be the hero.
Look, I told you I hadn't
dated anyone since Kim.
I thought you were
outta my league.
It was stupid. I'm sorry.
You were dishonest.
Yeah, but hey, you did
the same thing, right?
Not telling me you're Amish?
[sighs] Right.
Are we, are we good,
or are you gonna hit
me with my photo album?
[Emma] Oh, sorry.
Uh, these are...
beautiful photos.
You look really happy.
We were happy,
but then she cheated on me,
[sighs] and the only thing
she was upset about
was that she couldn't
keep half the business
after the divorce.
What? I... I don't understand.
[Heath] In our business
agreement, there's a clause
that if either one
of us has an affair,
there will be a divorce,
and the cheater doesn't
keep the business.
[sighs] You know, it
doesn't even matter now;
She's... She's dead.
[somber music]
I'm so sorry, Heath.
[sighs] Thank you.
- [Emma] Of course.
- It means a lot.
[ominous music]
I wanna find out
who murdered Kim.
Let's hear what
Caleb has to say.
[intense suspenseful music]
- [birds chirping]
- [suspenseful music]
[knuckles rapping]
[dramatic music]
Mary, what's wrong?
[Mary] The police have issued a
warrant for Emma's arrest.
We knew it was just a
matter of time, did we not?
Once they find her, this
whole thing can be put to bed.
Even though she didn't do it?
Mary, why don't we come inside?
[ominous music]
[David] Look, Mary, I don't
want to fight with you.
I don't have the
energy for it either.
But if you came here
for our support,
the elders and I will
support you, but not Emma.
I didn't come here for your
support, nor the elders'.
I need everything you
took from the house,
everything dealing with
Isaac and the businesses.
Emma will need all of my
resources and my help.
You realize that if
you support Emma,
you too risk being shunned
and excommunicated?
All due respect, Bishop,
but Emma is all
that I have left,
and I will protect
her with my life!
She did not kill that woman.
You cannot prove
that she didn't.
And you can't
prove that she did!
And why would you want to prove
that Emma could hurt someone?
But this is not a good
example of leadership.
We are here to
protect our community,
not condemn its members!
[Mary exhales sharply]
[dramatic music]
You need to do better.
I don't appreciate
your disobedience.
Don't touch me!
Emma's poisoned you against me.
Is there a reason
that you have been so adamant
against raising Isaac?
What could you be insinuating?
[Mary] You've always wanted to
purchase the back 40 from us,
but Isaac would never sell.
Maybe the two of you
got into a fight.
Maybe it was you Emma saw
running from the woods that day.
How dare you suggest
I had something to do
with Isaac's death?
Don't touch me!
[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[door thuds]
[car engine rumbling]
[Emma] Oh, park here. We can
walk the rest of the way.
[Heath] Hope you know
what you're doing.
[gentle dramatic music]
[car doors thud]
- [suspenseful music]
- [Caleb grunts]
[wood clatters]
[wood crunches]
[insects chirping]
[suspenseful music]
There he is.
[Caleb grunts]
I'll try to get him to confess.
Once he does, go to the police.
I'll make my way home.
Emma, be careful.
[suspenseful music]
- [ax thuds]
- [wood clatters]
[Emma] Caleb!
What are you doing here?
[Emma] I didn't like the way
we ended things before.
I was hoping we could talk.
The police are looking for you.
I know.
We're supposed to notify
them if we see you.
Are you prepared to do that?
[suspenseful music]
No. I will say nothing.
[Emma] I'm sorry for what
I said before.
I really was trying
to apologize,
but I just made things worse.
[Caleb]
I didn't help with that either.
Do you really love me?
[suspenseful music]
Yes.
Do you love me enough
to tell me the truth?
[Caleb] You know I do.
You were following me
that night, weren't you?
What do you mean?
[Emma]
The night in the woods?
When your arms were
covered in blood.
I told you.
It was dark, I stumbled, I fell.
Come on, Caleb,
you can tell me what
really happened, okay?
It'll be our secret.
I don't have secrets.
I told you everything!
I just happened to be
out there that night
going for a walk after
talking to the bishop!
[rooster crowing]
Why do you keep looking back?
I... I mean, the police
are, are looking for me.
You're acting so strange, Emma.
[suspenseful music]
Could you put the ax down?
You're making me nervous.
[Caleb] What is this about?
[Emma] I know you were at
Heath's home.
I saw you in the woods!
You followed me. You've
been following me.
You murdered that woman!
- [ax clatters]
- [suspenseful music]
Why do you say these things
when all I've ever done
is try to protect you?
Is try to love you?
I want you to be my wife!
[Emma screams and pants]
[Caleb grunts]
[Caleb groaning]
[suspenseful music]
- Heath? Heath!
- [dramatic music]
[Caleb] Emma!
That was not nice.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
- [Emma panting]
- [suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
[knuckles rapping]
What are you doing here?
[Emma] I know you're not
supposed to speak with me,
but I need your help.
Uncle's in town. Come inside.
Okay.
[door creaks]
What's wrong?
[wood creaking]
It's Caleb! It's
always been Caleb.
What?
He killed that woman.
Do you have another phone?
No.
Okay, well, could you go
with me back to my place?
He could be making
his way there now.
I need to warn Mother.
Of course. Anything for you.
Gimme a minute. I
need to wash up.
Okay. Please hurry.
[Rebecca] I can't believe
Caleb would do such a thing!
But then again, he
hasn't been the same
since he came back
from his Rumspringa.
Uh-huh.
[Rebecca] Did Caleb say
anything about seeing
anyone else around
Heath's house?
No.
[Rebecca] He's such an oaf.
I can't believe he was sly
enough to break into a home.
I guess you never know
what people are capable of.
Guess he's more slick and
patient than we thought.
It's a good thing you
didn't agree to marry him.
What a disaster
that would've been.
But things always
work out for the best
when your heart is
in the right place.
That's what my
mother used to say.
[suspenseful music]
All right, let's go
take care of this.
And don't worry,
I've got your back.
- Where you going?
- [Emma gasps]
Oh, um, I
thought I saw your uncle.
We should get moving.
Avoid the roads.
You mean go out into the woods?
It's faster.
[soft suspenseful music]
- [door creaking]
- [suspenseful music]
[Heath groaning]
- [dramatic music]
- [dirt crunching]
[suspenseful music]
[Heath panting]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
Hello?
[birds chirping]
[door clicks and creaks]
Hello?
[door creaks]
- [door thuds]
- [ominous music]
[soft suspenseful music]
What are you doing?
I'm sad to tell you, your
daughter killed my wife.
That's impossible.
Look for yourself. Look!
[exhales sharply] No, no.
You put that there.
The police, they were just here!
They searched
everything and they're...
They are coming back.
[suspenseful music]
Well, then
you are gonna tell
me where they didn't look.
[ominous music]
- [Mary screams]
- [glass shatters]
If you ever wanna see
your daughter again,
- you'll do as I say.
- [Mary whimpering]
[dramatic music]
[Mary panting]
[Emma] Even though
Caleb killed Kim,
there are still some
open questions
about my father's death.
I thought you were over that?
I'm starting to think
that Kim's death
and my father's
death are connected.
[soft suspenseful music]
Makes sense.
Your father didn't have the
fondest opinion of Caleb,
and didn't he even try
to keep you two apart?
Yes, while my father did express
his discontent with Caleb,
Caleb was on Rumspringa
when my father died,
so it couldn't have been him.
He could have snuck back.
That's true. He could have.
But even still, I wanna
know who did this.
Look that person in the
eye and ask them why.
Then I can move on.
What if there is no big answer?
What if your father was
simply in the wrong place
at the wrong time?
That would still be an answer.
[dramatic music]
Hopefully you get that
and more soon enough,
and find the peace
you've longed for.
[birds chirping]
[eerie suspenseful music]
The more I consider it,
the more I think about why
someone in our community
would turn to violence.
I mean, from the day we
are born, we are taught
that violence goes
against God's wishes
and the four pillars.
Well, maybe the person who
strikes out in violence
was never meant for this
community to begin with.
Or maybe they were put
here to test our faith.
- [Emma] You're right.
- [suspenseful music]
[Rebecca] Emma, I
don't think right now
is the appropriate
time for prayer.
Just tying my shoe.
[Rebecca]
I don't think so!
Drop it.
- [soft suspenseful music]
- [birds chirping]
So where did I slip up?
Would this be
considered a slip-up?
What is this obsession?
Coveting another
woman's husband?
Where did you get that?
[Emma and Rebecca grunt]
- [Emma panting]
- [dramatic music]
[slow dramatic music]
Emma?
Emma!
[hand banging]
Mrs. Miller? This is Caleb!
- [suspenseful music]
- [door thuds]
Emma?
Emma!
Emma!
[dramatic suspenseful music]
Emma!
- [birds chirping]
- [Mary groans]
[dramatic music]
[Emma panting]
[Rebecca panting]
Where are we going?
You'll see.
[Emma] Mother!
- Emma!
- Mother!
- That's enough outta you!
- [fist cracks]
- [Mary grunts and thuds]
- [Emma] Mother!
Mother!
- [dramatic music]
- No, let me go!
Mother, no! Let me see her!
You finish the job?
Nice and tidy.
[Emma gasping]
Your mother was never
supposed to be a part of this.
For that, I am sorry.
So I know you killed Kim, but
did you also kill my father?
- [Rebecca sighs]
- [Isaac in flashback] Hello?
Rebecca?
Why are you with this man?
He caught Heath and me together
and vowed to tell Uncle.
And we knew what
that would mean.
You've broken the
rules of our Ordnung
and God's commandments.
You must confess to the bishop
and face the consequences.
I begged him not to,
but his righteousness
got the better of him.
No, I can't do that.
Rebecca, you have no choice.
[Rebecca]
I wouldn't be able to go home
because I would be shunned
and excommunicated,
and Heath... Heath
would lose everything.
His wife would get the
business and the house.
So between the two of us,
we would have nothing.
And I would be destitute,
thrown to the wolves.
Just like my mother.
You know what
happened to my mother!
- Please!
- Rebecca, wait. Wait!
[Isaac yells and grunts]
[Rebecca gasps]
So you see, we
didn't have a choice.
So you planned on framing
me for Kim's death?
I needed you to stop looking
into your father's death,
but you wouldn't... and
we needed to make sure
Kim never found out
about our affair.
So the whole story you told
me about your wife cheating
and losing everything
in the divorce was
was really about
you and Rebecca?
Pretty smart for a country girl.
Did you ever have
feelings for me?
[eerie suspenseful music]
Rebecca? Rebecca,
you should know.
Heath and I slept
together this morning.
It's a lie.
[Emma]
I wanted to go to a hotel,
but he convinced me
to stay with him.
Not gonna work, Emma.
He brought me to his guest room.
- We...
- Just shut up!
[Emma exclaims]
You can't believe
a word of that.
I don't. Are you done?
Where's the scythe?
The murder weapon.
It's buried.
[Rebecca] It was buried.
[Heath] I put it where belongs;
In Emma's bedroom.
The police will
find it soon enough.
[Emma gasps]
[Rebecca] Great work, Babe.
Now let's get this going.
We have a lot to do
before the cops show up.
What do you mean?
Are you gonna kill us too?
[Rebecca] Murder-suicide.
Amish girl goes crazy
with guilt and fear,
kills her lover's wife
and then kills her
disapproving mother.
Great headline.
[Emma exclaims]
Don't make me hurt you.
You'll have to kill me!
- Okay.
- [knife scraping]
- [Emma panting]
- [suspenseful music]
Do it.
[dramatic music]
I killed Isaac and Kim.
You kill Emma and Mary.
That's the deal.
[Emma panting]
I know.
[sobbing] Heath, Heath,
Heath! Do not do this!
- I'm sorry.
- [Emma whimpering]
Please don't.
You don't have to.
But I do.
[Emma] No. No!
[Caleb yelling]
[Caleb and Heath grunting]
[suspenseful music]
[fist lands]
[Emma and Rebecca grunting]
[Emma] No! No!
- No!
- [Rebecca yells]
[sobbing] No!
- [fist thudding]
- [Caleb grunting]
[suspenseful music]
- [Mary gasps]
- [Heath grunts]
[Mary] Caleb, are you okay?
You were my friend!
You think I wanted this?
I just wanted out of this place!
You could've just left!
I would've had nothing!
No money, no community. Nothing!
Neither you or your father
were gonna keep
me from happiness.
Please, please, I don't
wanna die this way. Please!
[Rebecca sobbing]
Emma, stop.
She killed Father.
[Mary]
And she will pay for it.
But not like this.
God will be her judge.
[Rebecca sobbing]
- [Emma sobbing]
- [somber music]
Then let God be her judge.
[dramatic music]
[Rebecca gasping]
Oh! Caleb!
Are you okay?
- [Caleb sighs]
- [Emma sighs]
I will be.
Are you?
I will be.
[gentle solemn music]
Thank you.
[Fisher] So you came
from that direction?
[Caleb] Yes, I... I ran at
him and tackled him,
and, and he pinned be down
and started punching
me over and over again.
[police radio chatter]
Your father would be so proud.
- [officers chatter]
- [police radio chatter]
[Emma sighs]
- [birds chirping]
- [gentle music]
[Emma] You sure about this?
The elders might disapprove.
Let them.
- [birds chirping]
- [somber music]
[melancholic music]
It was lovely having you
for dinner tonight, Caleb.
Thank you for a wonderful meal.
Have a good night.
[door thuds]
I had a lovely time with you.
Me too.
See you tomorrow?
Of course.
[gentle romantic music]
[Caleb sighs deeply]
[gentle romantic
music continues]
[birds chirping]
[horse hooves clattering]
- [Emma] It's a beautiful day!
- [Isaac] It is.
[Emma] I was able to finish
the laundry before breakfast.
Mother was very happy.
- [Isaac] Wonderful.
- [Emma] One less chore.
- [Isaac] One less chore.
- [Emma giggles]
I'm so very proud of you, Emma.
You're wiser than most of
the men in our community.
Father! [Giggles]
[Isaac] You are smart,
strong, responsible,
and you will make a
wonderful mother one day.
Oh, I prayed for a daughter.
Made this for you on
the day you were born,
and I hope one day you
give it to your daughter.
- [gentle pensive music]
- [birds chirping]
Thank you, Father.
I will treasure it.
Good.
[birds chirping]
[Isaac] Look at
these wild onions.
[gasps] Mother's favorite!
Eh, I brought the wrong shovel.
Oh, I'll get the hand trowels.
[gentle bright music]
[birds chirping]
- [man exclaims and laughs]
- [suspenseful music]
[Isaac] Hello?
Hello?
[foreboding music]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music]
Oh, [gasps] hello, Mother.
Sorry, you startled me.
Oh, I'm sorry, Dear.
Where's your father?
I thought you were together.
We forgot the trowels,
and we found a surprise.
[Mary chuckles]
[gentle suspenseful music]
[birds chirping]
[gentle foreboding music]
[gentle suspenseful music]
Father? Father?
Hello?
- [birds chirping]
- [wind whooshing]
[man exclaims]
Father? [Panting] Where are you?
[suspenseful music]
Father, where are you?
[dramatic music]
Father! Father!
Father! Please, please, please!
Oh my God! [Sobs]
Please help!
Please, please help me,
please help me. Please!
- [branch snaps]

[gentle solemn music]
[Isaac] Oh, I prayed
for a daughter.
[Emma sighs]
[solemn music]
You are smart,
strong, responsible,
and one day you will
make a wonderful mother.
[Emma sighs]

- [birds chirping]
- [Emma sniffles]
[gentle wistful music continues]
[footsteps tapping]
Mother?
- [Emma gasps]
- [dramatic music]
Emma?
Bishop David? Why are you here?
Widows need guidance with
their husband's business.
He offered to help.
Isn't that nice?
Here are the deeds
you requested.
[Emma]
If you really wanted to help,
you and the elders could
put more of an effort
into finding out
how my father died.
We honored him with
a proper burial
and the needed time of mourning.
[Emma] You should've allowed the
police to ask more questions!
They concluded that
he slipped and fell.
That should be the end of it.
But I heard and saw
someone running off.
They could have seen it
or even done something,
- and I...
- [Mary] Emma, enough!
I'm sure finding him out there
must have been heartbreaking.
But this obsession
is not going to help.
Only prayer can
console you now, child.
[soft somber music]
I have chores.
[somber suspenseful music]
[insects rustling]
[birds chirping]
[door creaks]
[somber music]
[door thuds]
You've been quiet.
Is this still about your father?
I miss him so much.
I do too.
I know that you and your
father shared a closeness.
It's a void that I can't fill,
but Emma, I'm
always here for you.
Then why don't you wanna know
what really happened to him?
Would knowing bring him back?
Maybe it would bring me peace.
[somber music]
[birds chirping]
[footsteps tapping]
- [Mary gasping]
- [gentle suspenseful music]
- [soft foreboding music]
- [birds chirping]
[dog barking]
[Emma] Hello? Hello?
[leaves rustling]
Who's there? Hello?
- [suspenseful music]
- Hello?
- [dramatic music]
- [Mary screams]
Shh, shh, shh!
It's me, it's me, it's me.
Goodness, Rebecca.
You scared me!
What are doing out here?
Is that a cell phone?
- Can I see it?
- [Rebecca giggles]
[chuckles] Have you
been out all night
in the English world again?
Whatever do you mean?
I've been in my room sleeping.
[both laugh]
[Emma] So tell me about
the English world.
You know, [sighs]
with Father gone
and Mother excommunicated,
I don't know, I guess I just
needed to see it for myself
and try to understand.
I suppose I was looking
for a distraction,
or answers? [Sighs]
[Emma] Maybe, um, sometime I
could go to the city with you?
You? Really?
I don't know. It's pretty risky.
I... I'll think about it.
Okay. [Scoffs]
I better get back to the house.
Hey, we'll always
have our community
and each other.
Okay? Okay.
- [birds chirping]
- [gentle bright music]
- [Emma exclaims and sighs]
- [bucket rattles]
[Emma groaning]
[intensifying suspenseful music]
[Emma sighs]
[intensifying dramatic music]
[Emma exclaims and gasps]
[Caleb chuckles]
- Goodness, Caleb!
- [hand smacking]
Oh you half scared me to death!
Well, you looked
like you needed help,
so I gave you a hand.
I could have done it myself.
I know, but I like helping you
and I've missed you. [Scoffs]
Well, I have not seen you
much since you've been back.
Why?
When are you going
to let me take you
on a carriage ride again?
Why do you change the subject?
I've heard that you were
resistant at service last week.
I'm trying, Emma.
Ever since my Rumspringa,
I have struggled a bit.
It's hard to see what's out
there and then come back here.
I thought Rumspringa
was supposed to be fun.
Maybe too much fun.
I'm trying not to let it
influence me any further.
I still would love to hear
about your experience.
There's just not
that much to tell.
I've realized I'm
ready to be baptized,
settle down, find a wife...
[insects rustling]
[birds chirping]
Emma, you know how I've
always felt about you,
and we've always been close.
I wish to be closer.
Emma, will you marry me?
Oh, um, [clears throat]
Caleb, this is, uh,
quite unexpected, um...
I'm, I'm very flattered,
but I must say no.
[gasps] Wha-why?
I, before I left, I thought
you felt something for me.
And...
I'm sorry I wasn't here when
your father died, but I...
I understand and
I-I'm sorry too.
I- I just, I don't
think I'm ready for...
[Caleb]
No, I'm sorry. Never mind.
You know, I... I should have gone
to your mother
for her permission
- and her blessings.
- [Mary] Emma, I...
Oh, Caleb.
Mrs. Miller. I was just, um...
[Mary] I do hope that you're not
distracting Emma from her work.
No, ma'am, of course not.
[soft suspenseful music]
I do hope we can talk later.
[birds chirping]
[soft slow suspenseful music]
There's still much to do.
- [soft slow bright music]
- [Emma sighs]
- [insects rustling]
- [birds chirping]
[knuckles rapping]
Emma!
Is your uncle home.
[Rebecca] No.
[birds chirping]
So I was thinking,
are you ready to see
the English world?
I think so.
I never experienced
my own Rumspringa
and Caleb won't
tell me about his.
He's probably just
embarrassed, but never mind.
I think it could
be good for you.
See what it's all about
and decide for yourself.
[soft gentle bright music]
I am ready.
[scoffs] I don't think
you're quite ready.
If you wanna move
through the English world
and not let them know
that you're Amish,
you need to speak like them,
and you need to look like them.
We'll work on it.
So does that mean
you'll take me?
You realize what we're
risking if we get caught?
We'll be shunned,
excommunicated,
so you can't tell a soul ever.
Are you sure?
Okay.
We go tonight.
Go, get ready.
[Emma gasps]
[soft gentle bright music]
[soft gentle suspenseful music]
[insects chirping]
[gentle suspenseful music]
- [birds chirping]
- [insects chirping]
[gentle dramatic music]
Rebecca? Rebecca?
[suspenseful music]
- Emma!
- [Emma gasps]
Sorry.
So? What do you think?
[scoffs] You want
me to wear that?
Well, you definitely can't
go out looking like that.
- [both chuckle]
- Come on, get ready.
- Go!
- [soft gentle bright music]
Mm. How's it look?
Oh, good.
Okay.
- [soft bright music]
- [insects chirping]
You look so hot!
- [both chuckle]
- Here, let me take a picture.
Okay, well, you can't just
stand there like a stick.
Put your hands on your hips.
Mm-hmm, bevel a foot,
and stick a hip out.
There you go. We'll work on it.
See, you look so hot.
Right?
Oh my gosh.
Okay, come on. Let's go.
- Okay.
- [both giggle]
- It's gonna be so fun.
- [Emma giggles]
- [bright upbeat music]
- [singer vocalizing]
[crowd cheering]
[Rebecca] Oh, here, memorize the
info in case they ask questions,
- Jade.
- [Emma] This girl has brown
hair. I'm... I'm blonde!
So you changed it.
[Emma sighs]
- [bright upbeat music]
- [crowd cheering]
[singer vocalizing]
Okay.
[sighs] Thank you.
Thank you.
So isn't this amazing?
[Emma] Yeah!
Let's grab a drink.
[Emma] Uh, I need to go
to the bathroom.
Okay. Meet me on
the dance floor.
Okay.
[bright upbeat music]
Ooh! Go get me a drink, bud.
- All right, okay.
- Hey, make sure
they pour it strong too.
[muffled upbeat music]
[Emma sighs]
You got this.
[Emma scoffs]
Hm!
[upbeat music]
Hey, I'm Carl.
Saw you walk in, I just
thought you look so beautiful.
Oh, uh, thank you.
You here with friends,
family, just like to party?
Uh, I-I actually need
to get back to my friend.
Well, don't be such a snob
when all I'm trying
to do is be nice.
It's my first night here, so if,
if you could please move, I...
I think you need to let her go.
Yeah? Whatever, dude.
[upbeat music]
Are you okay?
[Carl] She's fine.
Seems like you're
causing her problems,
which means you and I are
about to have a problem.
How about you just go to the
bar and get us some drinks?
- I've got. [Grunts]
- [gate crashing]
[Emma gasps]
Chill. Chill, chill, chill!
Just chill. We're
good, we're good.
- We're good.
- [upbeat music]
[sighs] Guys like that
give us such a bad rap.
[scoffs] Are you okay?
Yeah.
Your hands, they're shaking.
[energetic upbeat music]
How about some water?
- Okay?
- [Emma] Mm.
Yeah?
[bright upbeat music]
Hey, Jimmy, glass
of water, please,
and a vodka soda for me.
No problem.
[sigh] Thank you for helping me.
It's nothing. Dude's an idiot.
Pretty sure women are always
wiser and smarter than men.
That's funny.
Why?
My father once said that
he thought I was wiser
than most of the
men that he knew.
Well, then he and I think alike.
[energetic upbeat music]
Here we go.
Cheers. I'm Heath.
I'm... Jade.
[bright upbeat music]
So Jade, first time here?
Mm-hmm.
[slow bright upbeat music]
Hey, uh, do you wanna dance?
- [Emma sighs]
- [ice rattling]
[crowd cheering]
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
I don't really
know how to dance.
There's nothing to it.
First and foremost,
just relax, have fun.
And if you're ever
unsure what to do,
just jump and spin.
Like this?
I'm just kidding.
All right, move
to the beat. Okay?
There you go.
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
Like this?
[Heath] Just like that.
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
This okay?
Mm-hmm.
[slow bright upbeat
music continues]
[Emma chuckles]
[Rebecca]
Come on, we gotta go!
It's getting late.
I have to go.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Wanna have dinner? Maybe lunch?
Uh, maybe?
Gimme me your phone.
I don't have a phone.
I mean, I don't
have my phone on me.
Okay, then meet me at
Baker Street, one o'clock.
If you make it, you make it.
If you don't, I'll
be disappointed,
but I'll understand.
Okay.
[bright upbeat music]
Bye.
[Heath sighs]
[bright upbeat music continues]
[Emma] Is that what the English
world is always like? [Laughs]
[Rebecca]
I told you, it's pretty crazy.
Oh! Oh, what an amazing night.
I'm glad you had fun.
It's more than that.
I... I feel...
Alive?
Inspired.
So are you gonna go
back and meet him?
I don't know. We have
Sunday service tomorrow.
Play sick. What's one service?
[bright music]
You keep it. It
looks better on you.
Besides, you need options
for different occasions.
Oh! And this.
Just in case you go
back to meet him.
You'll need it for a ride share.
Thank you. You're the best.
- Fun, right?
- Yeah. Very. [Giggles]
[insects chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[intensifying suspenseful music]
- [insects rustling]
- [birds chirping]
- [Emma sighing]
- [gentle bright music]
[Mary] Emma?
- Uh.
- [Mary] Emma, are you up?
Yes, Mother!
[Mary] We're gonna
be late for service
if you don't get a move on.
[gentle dramatic music]
I'm, I'm almost ready.
I heard noises last night.
Were you having restless sleep?
[Emma] As soon as I settled in,
I slept like a newborn.
Hm, great.
Okay, well, get a move-on.
Yes, Mother.
- [gentle suspenseful music]
- [door thuds]
[Emma sighs]
[David]
As I have said many times,
the outside world will
always offer us temptations
to challenge our faith.
But we must not bend.
We must keep rigid in
our four core values;
Faith, family, community,
and simplicity.
And that is a Godly life.
So if there are no
other words to honor God
or raise up this community...
I would like to say something.
Emma, what are you doing?
[Emma]
Since my father's death,
I have struggled with
our four pillars,
since I feel ignored
and pushed aside,
when there is something in
my heart I know to be true.
Someone else was in the woods
the day of my father's death.
We need to request a more
thorough investigation
from the police and
ideally an autopsy.
So all I am asking
is for my community
to put their faith in
me and honor my father.
[soft melancholic music]
[gentle apprehensive music]
[Mary] Emma, wait!
Emma, will you stop?
You realize you are asking me
to exhume your father's body.
You should have come to me first
before putting your
feelings on display.
Just yesterday I came to you.
You said you'd be there
for me, but you're not.
I am there for you.
This is just a matter that
needs to be handled privately.
[Emma sighs and scoffs]
Emma! Emma!
[gentle suspenseful music]
[Mary sighs]
[birds chirping]
[gentle dramatic music]
[door thuds]
[Emma sighs]
[subtle suspenseful music]
[subtle suspenseful
music continues]
Hi. Hi, are you going
to, to Baker Street?
[Driver] Yes, I am. Hop in.
Okay.
[subtle suspenseful music]
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
Is there a reservation
for Heath here?
Uh, let me see.
Oh, I see him.
- Oh! Enjoy!
- Thank you.
[gentle romantic music]
Hi. I am so sorry I'm late.
[sighs] I knew you'd be here.
Is something wrong?
Oh, nothing. Just
you look beautiful.
I... I mean, don't get me wrong;
You looked great in the dark,
but lunch lighting
looks good on you too.
But now having my own company,
I feel like I have a lot
more flexibility and freedom.
Don't get me wrong, I
still work like a dog,
but what can I say it's,
uh, it's high pressure
in a club brawl.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
- [Heath chuckles]
[soft brooding music]
Heath, I have to
tell you something.
You know, there's,
uh, something I,
I have to tell you too.
Oh! Okay.
Look, I'm just getting
out of a relationship
and it's taking a lot longer
than originally anticipated
because we shared our
business together.
Anyway, it's complicated.
And it's been a while
since I've dated
anyone, so... [sighs]
Okay.
[Heath]
I'm, I'm just telling you this
because I wanna be
honest, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
[sighs] I... I didn't mean
to drop all that on you.
It's just my ex lied to me and
oh, anyway... [sighs]
I appreciate your honesty.
Okay, enough of the heavy
stuff for now, right?
Let's talk games.
Are you any good at
ping pong, darts, pool?
Um, probably not. [Chuckles]
Well, you know, it's
still pretty early.
If you have to head
back, totally cool,
but if you wanna stick around
for a little while longer,
play some games?
I can give you a
ride back after.
[soft gentle music]
No pressure.
Okay.
[gentle sanguine music]
[birds chirping]
[gentle bright music]
[car doors thud]
This is amazing.
Glad you like it.
Come on.
[gentle bright music]
[gentle music]
[door thuds]
[Emma] This is all yours?
Uh-huh.
Can I get you
something to drink?
I make a mean
strawberry margarita.
Oh, I don't drink.
At least, I-I
haven't in a while.
Water or soda, then?
Uh, actually, I'll
have a small margarita.
I'll see what I can do.
Have a look outside.
It's beautiful out there.
Make yourself at home.
[gentle sanguine music]
- [water splashing]
- [gentle music]
[insects chirping]
Drink's up.
[gentle sanguine music]
Thank you.
You like the view?
Yeah, it's incredible.
Cheers.
[phone chiming]
[sighs] You gotta be kidding me.
I have to hop on a
flight to Chicago.
Deal's closing in the morning,
and I have to be there.
Oh yeah. I-I-I can go.
I don't wanna be in your way.
No, you don't have to leave.
You can stay here,
enjoy the pad.
Make yourself at home.
There's uh... There's a stocked
fridge, movies, music, bathtub.
[Emma scoffs]
Or I can take you
back to your family.
No pressure.
[gentle music]
You know what? You don't
have to decide now.
You can think about it.
Okay.
- [gentle music]
- [birds chirping]
Have a good trip.
[Heath] Be back in the morning.
Okay. Be safe!

Hello?
Heath?
Hello?
Hello? Heath?
[slow suspenseful

Okay, if you're
trying to scare me,
I don't find this
kind of thing funny.
- [Emma panting]
- [suspenseful music]
Hello?

Oh my God.
Oh my God!

[Caleb] Emma!
Caleb! What are
you doing out here?
Oh, I was with David.
[gloomy music]
Are your arms okay?
W... What happened to your arms?
I was, um, going for
a walk and I fell.
[suspenseful music]
Where you coming from?
Oh, um, I was just headed home.
I was at Rebecca's
and I couldn't sleep,
so I took the long way home.
Hm.
- I'll walk you home.
- No, thank you. Good night.
[gentle suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
- [footsteps tapping]
- [Mary sighing]
[soft slow suspenseful music]
- [Mary] Emma?
- [Emma gasps]
Why are you coming
through the window?
Ah. I didn't wanna wake you.
[Mary sighs]
[suspenseful music]
Where have you been?
I was just clearing my head.
I'm sorry about earlier.
It's okay. I was just
worried about you.
I'm sorry, too.
[somber music]
You look tired.
Let's get some rest.
[insects chirping]
[gentle apprehensive music]
[Emma sighs]
[dramatic music]
- [birds chirping]
- [suspenseful music]
[ominous music]
Emma? Are you okay?
Did something happen last night?
Where did you go?
I just wanna get back
to life the way it was.
Well, that starts by
getting out of bed.
Uh, let me wash up first.
Okay.
[gentle morose music]
[dramatic music]
[car engine rumbling]
[suspenseful music]
[soft suspenseful music]
Hello?
[door creaking]
- [door thuds]
- Jade, I'm back.
Hello?
- [dramatic music]
- Oh, no, Kim!

Oh my God. [Gasping]

[ominous music]
[flames whooshing]
[Rebecca] So did you go?
I wanna hear every
single detail.
Hey, that's my
stuff. Wait, stop!
What is this about?
You don't understand.
What happened.
[Emma]
Heath left me at his house.
I came downstairs and there
was a woman dead on the floor.
Someone hit me, knocked me out.
I woke up and I was
covered in blood.
I- I-I just, I didn't
know what to do.
I was gonna call the
police, but I got scared.
I just ran.
[panting] And you're
sure she's dead?
- [birds chirping]
- [gentle poignant music]
Go ahead, throw it in.
You need to cover your
tracks the best you can.
[sighs] Are you okay?
I'm not. I just, I feel
so guilty, Rebecca.
[Rebecca]
Hey. Hey, stop that.
No, I should have
done something.
I shouldn't have just run.
What could you have
done if you stayed?
Wha. [Sighs]
[Rebecca] Did you see anyone
else? Did anyone see you?
No.
Did you see it happen?
Then you would've just gotten
yourself into more trouble.
So from this point on,
you forget about it.
All of it. Okay?
There is one more thing
and we can't burn it.
- [fire crackling]
- [birds chirping]
[ominous music]
Where did you get that?
It was in my hand
when I woke up.
Okay, I have an idea. Come on.
- Okay.
- [Rebecca] Come on!
Okay.
[slow suspenseful music]
Are you sure about this?
What if somebody finds it?
It's our secret.
No one will ever know. You
can't tell a soul ever.
We must not ever discuss
any of our travels
or any of what happened.
Never. Not with anyone.
Of course. Never.
[somber music]
Rebecca, I just feel awful.
I know you do.
I wish there was
more we could do,
but this is the
best option, okay?
[sighs] Thank you. Rebecca.
I don't know what
I'd do without you.
- [gentle dramatic music]
- [Emma sighs]
[birds chirping]
[David] Mmm!
[Mary] Emma prepared
the meal herself.
You've had us worried over
your outburst the other day.
Hm. I let my grief
get the better of me.
It won't happen again.
[gentle ominous music]
And all that business about
exhuming your father's body?
I don't even really
remember saying that.
Then I don't think
you need to worry
about any repercussions
from the elders
over your little tantrum.
[gentle bright music]
[birds chirping]
I'll be back soon, Mother!
[Mary] All right, dear.
[ominous music]
[broom rustling]
[soft suspenseful music]
[knuckles rapping]
Hello, Caleb, Emma's not here,
and I'm not sure when
she's gonna be back.
Actually, I'm, um,
here to speak with you,
if you have the time.
Very well.
[door thuds]
[birds chirping]
I'm here asking for your
permission to pursue Emma
with the hopes that she
will agree to marry me.
Have you broached
this with Emma?
I have. But your support
is equally important to me.
Hm.
Well, in the end it's
not really up to me,
it's up to her.
But, I do appreciate you
coming here the way you have.
So you have my
permission to marry Emma.
You don't know how much this
means to me, Mrs. Miller.
I'll see myself out.
[Mary chuckles]
Thank you Mrs. Miller.
[Emma] Did you and my mother
have a nice conversation?
Emma? I was just going
to come find you.
So you two think you
know what's best for me?
No, that's not it.
Do I get a say in who I
marry? Or is this deal done?
Emma, that's not what this is.
[Emma] It's bad enough that
no one respects me
or my feelings in
this community.
Not you, not my mother,
not Bishop David.
But now I get no
say in who I marry?
Emma, I want to prove to you
that I can be the
man you deserve,
and that we can be close like
we were before my Rumspringa.
That I will be a good
husband... protect you.
- A good father...
- [church bell ringing]
[slow suspenseful music]
[church bell continues ringing]
[suspenseful music]
Do you know what this is about?
Did you say anything?
No. Did you?
No. Why would I?
[Rebecca] I don't know.
'Cause you felt bad?
[Emma] I did, but I
promise I said nothing.
Okay.
All I know is that Uncle
left in a hurry this morning.
[David] Could all of the young
women ages 18 to 25
please step forward?
[suspenseful music]
Please line up,
shoulder-to-shoulder.
This is starting
to feel pointless.
From the way you describe Jade
as someone who doesn't
drink, doesn't drive,
who's naive and
lives far from town,
we're looking for
an Amish woman.
[dramatic music]
Fine.
How many of
these places are there?
Only a few left. So
let's keep going.
Okay.
[gentle suspenseful music]
[birds chirping]
[eerie suspenseful music]
You! Eyes up.
[suspenseful music]
Hello, Jade.
- [dramatic music]
- This is her.
This is the girl I met at the
club who came to my house,
stayed after I left.
What's your name? Real name?
Emma Miller.
Well, Emma Miller, we need
to ask you a few questions.
What is this?
What's going on?
We need to speak
with this woman.
There's been a murder
in this man's home.
Well, I am this woman's mother
and you will be
doing no such thing.
You're making a mistake,
she's never even
left the community.
Mother!
[suspenseful music]
Come with me.
I need to be with her.
Ma'am, please.
David?
[sighs] If you don't mind,
please allow the girl's
mother to sit in.
[gentle suspenseful music]
Fine.
[dramatic music]
You wait by the car.
[dramatic music continues]
[Fisher]
Emma, I'm Detective Fisher
and this is my partner,
Detective Moreno.
We need you to tell us
everything that happened.
I understand.
So you were at his house in
Fort Wayne, for how long?
[Emma] Not long.
As soon as we got there,
Heath got a text message
that he had to go to Chicago.
So he left.
Soon as he left, the house
felt big and intimidating.
I mean, look at where
I'm from. So I left.
[gentle suspenseful music]
[Fisher] So you
never saw this woman?
[foreboding music]
[Moreno] She was killed with
a sharp instrument,
like a knife, in her own home.
She lived there?
This is Kim Halverson.
Heath's wife.
What?
I never met this woman. I
have never spoken to her.
Heath never mentioned he
had a wife. I had no idea.
[Moreno]
So what time did you leave?
The sun had just set.
I- if I may?
Why are you not questioning
this poor woman's husband?
I mean, how do we know
that he actually went to...
Where was it? Chicago?
We have confirmation
that he boarded the plane
at 7:00 PM and landed
in Chicago at 8:25.
He couldn't have done it.
I see.
[slow ominous music]
[Emma] I am sorry for the shame
I've brought on our family.
I hope you can find it in
your heart to forgive me
and help me find
a way out of this.
A false witness breathes
many lies, Emma.
[Emma sighs]
But I do believe you
and I forgive you.
You don't have it in
your heart to kill.
I could never, Mother. Never!
[solemn music]
So what do I do?
[Mary]
Well, the bishop and the elders
have decided you will
be excommunicated,
and you can't sit
idly by around here
and wait for the
police to return,
because they will.
[slow dramatic music]
Mother, can I be honest
about one last thing?
Why yes, of course.
[gentle suspenseful music]
I still don't believe
that father fell.
Somebody else was
there that day.
I saw them in the woods!
Maybe this is all
connected somehow.
I mean, Caleb has been acting
strangely the last few days
and I believe he
may be following me!
Could he have something
to do with this?
And what about our
land? Our farm?
Why did Bishop David come and
suddenly take our legal deeds?
I know I sound mad,
but something is not adding up.
And Heath has to know I
did not kill his wife.
I have to convince him.
[somber music]
Okay, I understand.
We'll get through this together.
[gentle dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
[Mary] Emma, you'll need a
change of clothes.
If the police are
looking for you,
they'll be looking
for an Amish woman.
Thank you, Mother.
[exclaims] Be smart, be safe,
and be careful.
You'll find the answers.
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
[Mary gasps]
[intensifying dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[knuckles rapping]
[soft suspenseful music]
I don't know what in the
hell you think you're doing
by coming here, but
I'm calling the police.
Heath, Heath! Please stop, okay?
I... I. Give me a chance
to tell you the truth.
I know the truth.
[Emma]
I know you think you know,
but you don't, okay?
Please just, just
hear me out. Okay?
[gentle soft dramatic music]
Five minutes.
[sighs] Thank you.
[gentle dramatic
music continues]
[door thuds]
[suspenseful music]
Detectives! Can I help you?
Search warrant.
Is Emma home?
No.
[Moreno] Where is she?
I don't know.
[suspenseful music]
[intensifying suspenseful music]
[Emma]
That's what happened!
Okay, [sighs] let's just, uh,
let's just say I
believe your story
about a third person
staging all of this.
Why come to me?
I need you to believe me,
and I need your help, please.
[gentle dramatic music]
I never thought it was done
maliciously or cold-blooded.
I thought you just got scared,
and in the heat of the
moment, you just lashed out.
I promise, I could never
hurt or kill anyone!
You were here when it happened.
[Emma] Yes, I was, but I didn't
even know you were married.
You never said that!
I did.
[scoffs] You said
you were getting
out of a long-term relationship,
not that she was
living here with you.
Okay, she wasn't living here.
We were legally separated.
All right? She had her
own place across town.
Well, why was she here
at your place then?
I don't know. Maybe
to pick up some mail?
It could have been
any number of reasons.
Well, I wanna find the
person who actually did this.
The police are doing that.
[Emma]
No, they are focused on me.
They're not focused
on the person
who killed your wife.
Please, Heath, you
have to believe me!
Who else knows all this?
Um, just you, my mother,
uh, and Rebecca, that's it.
[gentle suspenseful music]
Look, my neighbor has
a security camera.
He called and said he was
gonna bring over the footage.
Maybe that'll clear things up.
[suspenseful music]
I don't see a scythe anywhere.
That's the one with the
curved blade, right?
[Fisher] Mm-hmm.
Of course we have
one. It was Isaac's.
It has his initials
on the handle.
I'm sure I can find
it. Give me a minute.
[Fisher] Hold on. Our
investigator found something.
Take us to the fire pit.
Of course. Right this way.
- [doorbell rings]
- [gentle suspenseful music]
[Barry] Hey, buddy. Here it is.
How you doing? You okay?
[Heath] Yeah. Hanging in there.
Trying to get to
the bottom of this.
[Barry] I didn't have time
to look at it,
but hopefully there's something
there that can help you.
Thanks, Barry.
- [Barry] You're welcome.
- Appreciate it.
I'll take this to the police.
[Barry] Good luck.
[gentle suspenseful music]
All right, this is it.
Let's see what we got.
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
Jade Miller.
We need to know where your
daughter is right now.
[suspenseful music]
That's Kim being dropped off.
[slow suspenseful music]
Then you. Running.
[Emma sighs]
Wait, go back!
[keyboard key clicks]
Right there. There's
someone in the bushes.
[Heath] Who is that?
Can we, can we go
through it again?
And this time just
a little bit slower.
[suspenseful music]
Could be a guy. Hard to tell.
It's so dark.
Is he wearing a hat?
Oh my God.
What?
[dramatic music]
I know who it is.
Who?
It has to be Caleb.
I saw him in the
woods that night!
His arms were all
scratched up and bloody.
I'm sure he was following me!
Maybe he followed me here.
Maybe he was trying
to confront you
and he ran into Kim instead.
[soft suspenseful music]
Heath, I know you have
no reason to believe me,
but give me a chance
to prove it to you.
How?
Come with me to Caleb's house.
[Heath chuckles wryly]
No, listen, you can hide,
I'll get him to confess.
Look, no offense, but this is
your problem. It's not mine.
[Emma]
He may have killed your wife!
Don't you wanna know the truth?
[phone ringing]
Hey, I'm sorry, I
just gotta take this.
Sure.
[Heath] I'll just be a minute.
[phone continues ringing]
[phone clicks]
Hey.
Yeah.
I thought you already did that.
Why not?
Look, slow down. Just
tell me what happened.
All right, I'll take
care of it myself.
No, I don't want.
I'll do it. Yeah,
it'll all work out.
I've got this.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- [Heath] Are you okay?
- She's fine!
[Carl scoffs]
[suspenseful music]
Hey. What's wrong?
Stay there.
Okay. Okay, just
relax, all right?
Why do you have a
photo with the guy
who harassed me at the club?
[suspenseful music]
I wish you hadn't seen that.
[Emma gasps]
[Heath sighs]
It was s-stupid.
I hadn't white-knighted
in years.
"White-knighted"?
It's a college thing.
Y... You pick out a girl you like
and that you wanna impress.
One guy plays the jerk,
which allows the other guy
to come in and be the hero.
Look, I told you I hadn't
dated anyone since Kim.
I thought you were
outta my league.
It was stupid. I'm sorry.
You were dishonest.
Yeah, but hey, you did
the same thing, right?
Not telling me you're Amish?
[sighs] Right.
Are we, are we good,
or are you gonna hit
me with my photo album?
[Emma] Oh, sorry.
Uh, these are...
beautiful photos.
You look really happy.
We were happy,
but then she cheated on me,
[sighs] and the only thing
she was upset about
was that she couldn't
keep half the business
after the divorce.
What? I... I don't understand.
[Heath] In our business
agreement, there's a clause
that if either one
of us has an affair,
there will be a divorce,
and the cheater doesn't
keep the business.
[sighs] You know, it
doesn't even matter now;
She's... She's dead.
[somber music]
I'm so sorry, Heath.
[sighs] Thank you.
- [Emma] Of course.
- It means a lot.
[ominous music]
I wanna find out
who murdered Kim.
Let's hear what
Caleb has to say.
[intense suspenseful music]
- [birds chirping]
- [suspenseful music]
[knuckles rapping]
[dramatic music]
Mary, what's wrong?
[Mary] The police have issued a
warrant for Emma's arrest.
We knew it was just a
matter of time, did we not?
Once they find her, this
whole thing can be put to bed.
Even though she didn't do it?
Mary, why don't we come inside?
[ominous music]
[David] Look, Mary, I don't
want to fight with you.
I don't have the
energy for it either.
But if you came here
for our support,
the elders and I will
support you, but not Emma.
I didn't come here for your
support, nor the elders'.
I need everything you
took from the house,
everything dealing with
Isaac and the businesses.
Emma will need all of my
resources and my help.
You realize that if
you support Emma,
you too risk being shunned
and excommunicated?
All due respect, Bishop,
but Emma is all
that I have left,
and I will protect
her with my life!
She did not kill that woman.
You cannot prove
that she didn't.
And you can't
prove that she did!
And why would you want to prove
that Emma could hurt someone?
But this is not a good
example of leadership.
We are here to
protect our community,
not condemn its members!
[Mary exhales sharply]
[dramatic music]
You need to do better.
I don't appreciate
your disobedience.
Don't touch me!
Emma's poisoned you against me.
Is there a reason
that you have been so adamant
against raising Isaac?
What could you be insinuating?
[Mary] You've always wanted to
purchase the back 40 from us,
but Isaac would never sell.
Maybe the two of you
got into a fight.
Maybe it was you Emma saw
running from the woods that day.
How dare you suggest
I had something to do
with Isaac's death?
Don't touch me!
[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[door thuds]
[car engine rumbling]
[Emma] Oh, park here. We can
walk the rest of the way.
[Heath] Hope you know
what you're doing.
[gentle dramatic music]
[car doors thud]
- [suspenseful music]
- [Caleb grunts]
[wood clatters]
[wood crunches]
[insects chirping]
[suspenseful music]
There he is.
[Caleb grunts]
I'll try to get him to confess.
Once he does, go to the police.
I'll make my way home.
Emma, be careful.
[suspenseful music]
- [ax thuds]
- [wood clatters]
[Emma] Caleb!
What are you doing here?
[Emma] I didn't like the way
we ended things before.
I was hoping we could talk.
The police are looking for you.
I know.
We're supposed to notify
them if we see you.
Are you prepared to do that?
[suspenseful music]
No. I will say nothing.
[Emma] I'm sorry for what
I said before.
I really was trying
to apologize,
but I just made things worse.
[Caleb]
I didn't help with that either.
Do you really love me?
[suspenseful music]
Yes.
Do you love me enough
to tell me the truth?
[Caleb] You know I do.
You were following me
that night, weren't you?
What do you mean?
[Emma]
The night in the woods?
When your arms were
covered in blood.
I told you.
It was dark, I stumbled, I fell.
Come on, Caleb,
you can tell me what
really happened, okay?
It'll be our secret.
I don't have secrets.
I told you everything!
I just happened to be
out there that night
going for a walk after
talking to the bishop!
[rooster crowing]
Why do you keep looking back?
I... I mean, the police
are, are looking for me.
You're acting so strange, Emma.
[suspenseful music]
Could you put the ax down?
You're making me nervous.
[Caleb] What is this about?
[Emma] I know you were at
Heath's home.
I saw you in the woods!
You followed me. You've
been following me.
You murdered that woman!
- [ax clatters]
- [suspenseful music]
Why do you say these things
when all I've ever done
is try to protect you?
Is try to love you?
I want you to be my wife!
[Emma screams and pants]
[Caleb grunts]
[Caleb groaning]
[suspenseful music]
- Heath? Heath!
- [dramatic music]
[Caleb] Emma!
That was not nice.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
- [Emma panting]
- [suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
[knuckles rapping]
What are you doing here?
[Emma] I know you're not
supposed to speak with me,
but I need your help.
Uncle's in town. Come inside.
Okay.
[door creaks]
What's wrong?
[wood creaking]
It's Caleb! It's
always been Caleb.
What?
He killed that woman.
Do you have another phone?
No.
Okay, well, could you go
with me back to my place?
He could be making
his way there now.
I need to warn Mother.
Of course. Anything for you.
Gimme a minute. I
need to wash up.
Okay. Please hurry.
[Rebecca] I can't believe
Caleb would do such a thing!
But then again, he
hasn't been the same
since he came back
from his Rumspringa.
Uh-huh.
[Rebecca] Did Caleb say
anything about seeing
anyone else around
Heath's house?
No.
[Rebecca] He's such an oaf.
I can't believe he was sly
enough to break into a home.
I guess you never know
what people are capable of.
Guess he's more slick and
patient than we thought.
It's a good thing you
didn't agree to marry him.
What a disaster
that would've been.
But things always
work out for the best
when your heart is
in the right place.
That's what my
mother used to say.
[suspenseful music]
All right, let's go
take care of this.
And don't worry,
I've got your back.
- Where you going?
- [Emma gasps]
Oh, um, I
thought I saw your uncle.
We should get moving.
Avoid the roads.
You mean go out into the woods?
It's faster.
[soft suspenseful music]
- [door creaking]
- [suspenseful music]
[Heath groaning]
- [dramatic music]
- [dirt crunching]
[suspenseful music]
[Heath panting]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
Hello?
[birds chirping]
[door clicks and creaks]
Hello?
[door creaks]
- [door thuds]
- [ominous music]
[soft suspenseful music]
What are you doing?
I'm sad to tell you, your
daughter killed my wife.
That's impossible.
Look for yourself. Look!
[exhales sharply] No, no.
You put that there.
The police, they were just here!
They searched
everything and they're...
They are coming back.
[suspenseful music]
Well, then
you are gonna tell
me where they didn't look.
[ominous music]
- [Mary screams]
- [glass shatters]
If you ever wanna see
your daughter again,
- you'll do as I say.
- [Mary whimpering]
[dramatic music]
[Mary panting]
[Emma] Even though
Caleb killed Kim,
there are still some
open questions
about my father's death.
I thought you were over that?
I'm starting to think
that Kim's death
and my father's
death are connected.
[soft suspenseful music]
Makes sense.
Your father didn't have the
fondest opinion of Caleb,
and didn't he even try
to keep you two apart?
Yes, while my father did express
his discontent with Caleb,
Caleb was on Rumspringa
when my father died,
so it couldn't have been him.
He could have snuck back.
That's true. He could have.
But even still, I wanna
know who did this.
Look that person in the
eye and ask them why.
Then I can move on.
What if there is no big answer?
What if your father was
simply in the wrong place
at the wrong time?
That would still be an answer.
[dramatic music]
Hopefully you get that
and more soon enough,
and find the peace
you've longed for.
[birds chirping]
[eerie suspenseful music]
The more I consider it,
the more I think about why
someone in our community
would turn to violence.
I mean, from the day we
are born, we are taught
that violence goes
against God's wishes
and the four pillars.
Well, maybe the person who
strikes out in violence
was never meant for this
community to begin with.
Or maybe they were put
here to test our faith.
- [Emma] You're right.
- [suspenseful music]
[Rebecca] Emma, I
don't think right now
is the appropriate
time for prayer.
Just tying my shoe.
[Rebecca]
I don't think so!
Drop it.
- [soft suspenseful music]
- [birds chirping]
So where did I slip up?
Would this be
considered a slip-up?
What is this obsession?
Coveting another
woman's husband?
Where did you get that?
[Emma and Rebecca grunt]
- [Emma panting]
- [dramatic music]
[slow dramatic music]
Emma?
Emma!
[hand banging]
Mrs. Miller? This is Caleb!
- [suspenseful music]
- [door thuds]
Emma?
Emma!
Emma!
[dramatic suspenseful music]
Emma!
- [birds chirping]
- [Mary groans]
[dramatic music]
[Emma panting]
[Rebecca panting]
Where are we going?
You'll see.
[Emma] Mother!
- Emma!
- Mother!
- That's enough outta you!
- [fist cracks]
- [Mary grunts and thuds]
- [Emma] Mother!
Mother!
- [dramatic music]
- No, let me go!
Mother, no! Let me see her!
You finish the job?
Nice and tidy.
[Emma gasping]
Your mother was never
supposed to be a part of this.
For that, I am sorry.
So I know you killed Kim, but
did you also kill my father?
- [Rebecca sighs]
- [Isaac in flashback] Hello?
Rebecca?
Why are you with this man?
He caught Heath and me together
and vowed to tell Uncle.
And we knew what
that would mean.
You've broken the
rules of our Ordnung
and God's commandments.
You must confess to the bishop
and face the consequences.
I begged him not to,
but his righteousness
got the better of him.
No, I can't do that.
Rebecca, you have no choice.
[Rebecca]
I wouldn't be able to go home
because I would be shunned
and excommunicated,
and Heath... Heath
would lose everything.
His wife would get the
business and the house.
So between the two of us,
we would have nothing.
And I would be destitute,
thrown to the wolves.
Just like my mother.
You know what
happened to my mother!
- Please!
- Rebecca, wait. Wait!
[Isaac yells and grunts]
[Rebecca gasps]
So you see, we
didn't have a choice.
So you planned on framing
me for Kim's death?
I needed you to stop looking
into your father's death,
but you wouldn't... and
we needed to make sure
Kim never found out
about our affair.
So the whole story you told
me about your wife cheating
and losing everything
in the divorce was
was really about
you and Rebecca?
Pretty smart for a country girl.
Did you ever have
feelings for me?
[eerie suspenseful music]
Rebecca? Rebecca,
you should know.
Heath and I slept
together this morning.
It's a lie.
[Emma]
I wanted to go to a hotel,
but he convinced me
to stay with him.
Not gonna work, Emma.
He brought me to his guest room.
- We...
- Just shut up!
[Emma exclaims]
You can't believe
a word of that.
I don't. Are you done?
Where's the scythe?
The murder weapon.
It's buried.
[Rebecca] It was buried.
[Heath] I put it where belongs;
In Emma's bedroom.
The police will
find it soon enough.
[Emma gasps]
[Rebecca] Great work, Babe.
Now let's get this going.
We have a lot to do
before the cops show up.
What do you mean?
Are you gonna kill us too?
[Rebecca] Murder-suicide.
Amish girl goes crazy
with guilt and fear,
kills her lover's wife
and then kills her
disapproving mother.
Great headline.
[Emma exclaims]
Don't make me hurt you.
You'll have to kill me!
- Okay.
- [knife scraping]
- [Emma panting]
- [suspenseful music]
Do it.
[dramatic music]
I killed Isaac and Kim.
You kill Emma and Mary.
That's the deal.
[Emma panting]
I know.
[sobbing] Heath, Heath,
Heath! Do not do this!
- I'm sorry.
- [Emma whimpering]
Please don't.
You don't have to.
But I do.
[Emma] No. No!
[Caleb yelling]
[Caleb and Heath grunting]
[suspenseful music]
[fist lands]
[Emma and Rebecca grunting]
[Emma] No! No!
- No!
- [Rebecca yells]
[sobbing] No!
- [fist thudding]
- [Caleb grunting]
[suspenseful music]
- [Mary gasps]
- [Heath grunts]
[Mary] Caleb, are you okay?
You were my friend!
You think I wanted this?
I just wanted out of this place!
You could've just left!
I would've had nothing!
No money, no community. Nothing!
Neither you or your father
were gonna keep
me from happiness.
Please, please, I don't
wanna die this way. Please!
[Rebecca sobbing]
Emma, stop.
She killed Father.
[Mary]
And she will pay for it.
But not like this.
God will be her judge.
[Rebecca sobbing]
- [Emma sobbing]
- [somber music]
Then let God be her judge.
[dramatic music]
[Rebecca gasping]
Oh! Caleb!
Are you okay?
- [Caleb sighs]
- [Emma sighs]
I will be.
Are you?
I will be.
[gentle solemn music]
Thank you.
[Fisher] So you came
from that direction?
[Caleb] Yes, I... I ran at
him and tackled him,
and, and he pinned be down
and started punching
me over and over again.
[police radio chatter]
Your father would be so proud.
- [officers chatter]
- [police radio chatter]
[Emma sighs]
- [birds chirping]
- [gentle music]
[Emma] You sure about this?
The elders might disapprove.
Let them.
- [birds chirping]
- [somber music]
[melancholic music]
It was lovely having you
for dinner tonight, Caleb.
Thank you for a wonderful meal.
Have a good night.
[door thuds]
I had a lovely time with you.
Me too.
See you tomorrow?
Of course.
[gentle romantic music]
[Caleb sighs deeply]
[gentle romantic
music continues]
