[train whistle blows]

Hannah?

Mr. Stutzman.
It's-It's nice to meet you.

Please, call me Aaron.

Here, let me get this.

How was your journey?

Very pleasant.

Thank you.

Are people here aware

of the accusations
made against me?

Only my wife and I.

We intend to keep it that way.

We want to give you
a fresh start.

[♪♪♪]

Sarah and the children

have been waiting all morning
to meet you.

[door creaks open]

Hannah,
these are our daughters...

Rachel and Grace.

-Hello.
-Hi.

It's nice to meet both of you.

[Aaron]
And this is Sarah.

Welcome to our home.

Thank you so much
for this opportunity,

Mrs. Stutzman.

Please, "Sarah".

Rachel, show Hannah
to her room.

Follow me.

[♪♪♪]

[Hannah]
Please give me strength.

I'm begging you.

Help me navigate this path.

God, grant me the wisdom
to find my way.

Keep me true to my values.

Please.

I'm so desperate
for your guidance right now.

Amen.

[speaks in Pennsylvania Dutch]
H andt nunna.

Heavenly Father,

we give thanks
for the food before us,

for the warmth of family...

for guiding Hannah
safely to us.

We pray for

your wisdom for Rachel

during her Rumspringa

and your continued healing touch
with Sarah.

Amen.

[others] Amen.

Guests first, Rachel!

Oh, no, it's fine.

No, Grace is right.

Except...
this is now Hannah's home,

so she's no longer a guest.

[all chuckling]

So, Rachel,
I hear you just turned 16.

Last week.

Did you date any English boys
during your Rumspringa?

I should have warned you

about my daughter's
inquisitive nature.

Um... yes, I did.

What was that like?

It helped me come to appreciate
the values of Amish boys.

Exactly!

Try to find one English boy
that knows how to raise a barn.

[laughter]

[music box squeals and stops]

[knocking]

Come in.

I just wanted to see
how you're settling in.

Fine, thank you.

Mm.

That's nice.

My mother gave it to me
when I was a little girl.

It's one of the few keepsakes
I have from her,

but, sadly,
it hasn't worked in years.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Please know
that having you here,

not only to care
for my wife,

but to perform
many of her duties...

it's a huge relief.

I understand you believe
the condition to be ALS,

but there's been
no formal diagnosis?

We've chosen divine guidance
over medical intervention,

but yes,

that's the assumption.

I'm told that
you have experience with this?

Um, yes.

Yes, I had a few ALS patients

when I worked
as a home health aide.

Unfortunately, her...

her condition's
regressed recently.

But I try
to take solace in knowing

that it's all part
of God's design.

Well, goodnight, Hannah.

Goodnight.

[rooster crows]

Ow.

[Aaron] Grace, I'm trying.

Would you like
some help with that?

Please.

[Hannah chuckles]

Hmm.

Grace, I believe Hannah's
better at this than your father.

[Hannah laughs]

Years of practice.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

[♪♪♪]

[gravel crunching]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

In the light of God's grace,

we gather
united in our faith.

Brethren and sisters...

...we are blessed

to have Sister Hannah
joining us today,

dedicating her service
to my daughter, Sarah,

and her family.

It is with a heavy heart

that we address

a transgression
within our midst.

The path to righteousness
is narrow,

and it pains us

when even one among us
strays.

Sister Miriam...

...you have betrayed
the teachings we hold dear.

After deep deliberation,

we have decided

we must enact Meidung.

You will be isolated
from the community,

forbidden from any interaction,

as a reminder

of the consequences
of your transgressions.

This shunning is a test
of your faith and commitment.

Only through deep reflection

and unwavering adherence
to our principles

can you hope to find redemption
and prove yourself.

You'll be shunned

until the others

deem your worthy
to return to the fold.

In his mercy,

may God's wisdom illuminate
your journey back to us.

[sniffling]

[♪♪♪]

I see
the Lord has also blessed you

with a green thumb.

May I ask
why that woman was shunned?

[bucket clangs]

Miriam...

she made advances
towards a married man,

who, in time,
yielded to them.

Was he also held accountable?

He admitted his fault.

But... [sighs]

...there's a belief

that a man succumbing
to the allure of a younger woman

is somewhat, um...

Acceptable?

Understandable.

Abraham
wanted her excommunicated.

I convinced him to opt
for shunning instead.

Excuse me.

Were you officially

excommunicated
from your previous community?

Um...

not officially.

But I felt it was best to go.

Are you comfortable

giving your account
of the incident?

[sighs] Uh...

Yes.

Well, uh...

[sighs]

After I came back
from living among the English,

I took over
caring for our bishop.

He had cancer,

and I administered
his medication.

He died...

of a lethal dose,

and I was blamed.

Well, I'm sure
it was an honest mistake.

[defensively] No! It...

[softer]
It didn't come from me...

...but the elders claimed
that I was lying to avoid blame.

[Sarah groans]

Wasn't that long ago

I could...
still able to dress myself.

I don't wish to overstep,
but...

there are medications...

[Sarah chuckles sadly]

After much prayer
and reflection...

...we decided
to trust in God's will.

Did you notice
the attention you were getting

from the young men
at church today?

I... [stammers]

I wasn't really looking.

Well, you should start looking.

[chuckling]

My apologies.

I thought
you were still in the barn.

It's fine.

I picked some flowers
for both you and Sarah.

Thought they might
brighten your room.

Thank you.

They're lovely.

I noticed
you have a tattoo.

Yes, um,
it's a regrettable decision

that I made during my time
among the English.

Why a butterfly?

It was meant
to represent transformation

and, um, new beginnings,

but...

now it's just a reminder

of a chapter of my life
I'd rather forget.

Well, let's make it represent
a new, positive chapter.

I hate to add
to your work workload,

but I snagged my shirt
on a nail.

Oh, s-sure.
Leave it with me.

I... I didn't mean right now.

Seems appropriate,
don't you think?

Do you play Dutch Blitz?

Uh, yeah. Yes.

Sarah and I used to play,
but it's difficult for her now.

Would you like to have a game?

Sure. Sounds lovely.

I'm warning you,
I play to win.

Blitz!

Again?

Who knew
that such a demure young lady

would have such
a competitive streak?

You know, I hope
you don't mind me saying this,

but you don't act
like any elder I've met before.

Oh?

I suppose you're young to be
in such a position of authority.

Well, I've always
felt the calling

to eventually assume
the role of bishop

and shepherd this community.

I have no doubt

that you'll accomplish that
one day.

That day may come soon.

Abraham confided in me
that he's ready to step aside.

I wasn't sure
about the timing, but...

with you here,
by my side,

I feel ready.

Well, I'm here
for whatever you need.

[rooster crowing]

[knocking]

Come in.

Hey.

Hello.

We look alike, right?

I suppose so. Why?

Could I borrow your I.D.?

To buy alcohol?

Oh...

Rachel, I'm not sure
your father would approve.

It's Rumspringa,

and we're supposed
to experiment.

Well, yes, but you're not
supposed to break the law.

But I just don't want to have
to ask older English boys

and have them think
that I owe them.

You have a driver's license?

Cool!

Rachel...

If you ever need anything...

advice, whatever...

know that you can come to me,
in confidence.

Thank you.

[knocking]

Back so soon?

I'm sorry.
I-I thought you were Rachel.

Is there something
I can help you with?

Actually,
I did something for you.

My music box.

I wanted it
to be a surprise.

I took it this morning,
hoped you wouldn't notice.

[music playing]

[♪♪♪]

I thought it deserved
a second chance...

just like you.

Well...

goodnight, Hannah.

Goodnight, Aaron.

[music playing]

[♪♪♪]

[grunting]

[chuckles weakly]

My family didn't own cows,

so this is not
an area of expertise.

May I assist you?

Yes, please.

[laughs]

It's all in the rhythm.

[Hannah] I got this.

[Hannah] Would you like
some help with that?

Thank you,

but I want to contribute
the best I can

while I still can...

sort of.

I had always hoped
to give Aaron a son,

to carry on the family name.

Perhaps...
after he remarries.

You shouldn't think like that.

We've discussed it.

I only hope

that he finds a partner
who brings him joy

and who is a good mother
to my children.

I even insisted he take out
life insurance on me.

Really?

I know it's uncommon
in our faith...

...but I think it's prudent.

Well...

I trust your judgment,

but let that be
the least of your concerns.

[sighing]

Mm.

Oh!

[water splashes]

I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were out here.

You want to get in?

There's still
some warm water left.

Um, I'm just, uh, I'm still
in the middle of my chores, so.

Hot shower...

it's a simple pleasure,
but a divine one.

You shouldn't pass it up.

Yeah.

Would you mind
coming to town with me?

I'll give you a tour of my shop.

[metal grinding]

My great-grandfather

established this shop
in 1947.

Unfortunately,

I don't have a son
to carry on the family legacy.

Sorry to bother you,

but, uh, there's an issue with
the wheel-alignment machine.

Well, give me a moment.
I'll come take a look.

Hi.

Hannah, this is Jacob,
my wheelwright apprentice.

It's nice to meet you.

You too.

I'll be right back.

So, I was Grace's age
when I started working here,

and then...

Aaron, when you get a chance,
these need your signature.

Of course.

Hannah,
this is my assistant, Laura.

She keeps me
on the straight and narrow.

I do what I can,

though keeping Aaron in line
is no small feat.

Hey!

Would you be able to come
by my house again later today?

I'm having an issue
with the water well.

-Of course.
-Thank you.

Oh, and these are the herbs
that I mentioned.

They helped my aunt,

so I hope that they also bring
some relief to Sarah, too.

Thank you, Laura.

This is the money
for the groceries.

Oh, thank you.

And while you're out,

treat yourself
to something sweet...

ice cream, perhaps.

Oh, that's really
not necessary.

"There's nothing better
for a person

than that he should eat, drink,
and find enjoyment."

Ecclesiastes 2:24.

If not for yourself,
have some ice cream for God.

I'm going to help Jacob.

Aaron has been
singing your praises.

Oh!

I'm-I'm pleased to hear that.

Yes. He says it's been
a godsend having someone

to attend to his cooking
and his cleaning.

Nothing like ice cream
to brighten a day.

You shouldn't
be speaking to me.

I'm Hannah.

Miriam.

I'm so sorry
for what you're going through.

It's hard,
everyone judging you.

I know.

I mean,
I can only imagine.

My friends won't look at me.

Not even my own family
will speak to me.

I made a terrible mistake,

and I know it's my fault,
but...

I feel so alone.

Well, you're not alone anymore.

[♪♪♪]

Whoa!

Oh! [chuckles]

Thank you.

[Sarah] Aaron...

what are you doing?

[♪♪♪]

How long did you live
outside of your Amish community?

Mm, a little over five years.

[Sarah] What was it

that took you away
from our way of life?

[Hannah] After my mother died,
growing up,

my home was...

sad,

and I left in search of joy,

hoping I'd find it
out there.

[Sarah] And then did you?

[Hannah] For a time,
and then less so.

[Sarah] In my experience,

happiness isn't something

that you search
far and wide for,

but rather
you cultivate

in yourself
and in your relationships,

right where you are.

[Sarah] It is my hope
that you find a man of your own.

[Hannah humming]

I hope you don't
mind me asking,

but how is it that Laura
came to work for you?

It's not common to see

an Amish woman
working in a regular job.

Well, she kept the books
for her husband's business

after he passed.

She was all alone,

so I gave her a job

in hopes it would be
a meaningful distraction.

She didn't seem
to like me very much.

Well, I think
she's developed a small crush.

Oh.

It's innocent,
but, um...

she probably
feels threatened by you.

By me?

What reason would she have?

Well, you're
an attractive younger woman

living in my house,

assuming many of the duties
that my wife would do,

and, uh, well, I think
she has plenty of reasons.

[Aaron chuckles]

[Hannah] I don't know.

[Hannah laughs nervously]

[Aaron] I'm serious, Hannah.

I feel complete with you here.

God has truly blessed us
with your presence.

[horse nickering]

Looks like you made a friend.

Aaron...

Hannah...

I need you.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

You have such
a natural way with children.

It surprises me you didn't
grow up with siblings.

My parents wanted more kids,

but I was younger than Grace
when I lost my mother.

To bear such a profound loss
at such a young age

is truly heartrending.

Yeah.

She was a beacon
of kindness and love.

I still miss her every day.

She would be very proud
of the woman you've become.

I hope and pray you find
a young man meant just for you.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Is something wrong?

I find myself caught between...

immense joy

and overwhelming guilt.

Sarah's shown me
nothing but kindness,

and here I am...

Hey.

I understand
how you're feeling,

because I've struggled
with it myself.

Aaron, what sort of future
do we have together?

I want
a family of my own one day,

and you can't
give that to me.

No.

No, I can't...

not while
Sarah's still with us.

Which I feel absolutely
horrible even contemplating.

Hannah...

I have prayed about this,

and I believe that God
has delivered you to me...

to one day
bless this family with sons.

And you feel
that justifies our actions?

No.

But if He is the architect
of our lives...

maybe it somewhat explains them.

Aaron, I think
we need to end things

until being together
is no longer immoral.

That could be for years.

It's not only
the right thing to do,

it's the prudent thing.

We both have
so much to lose,

and if... if people were
to find out about this...

Everything
you're saying is true.

Hannah, I need to be with you.

I want to be with you, too...

...but I just can't.

Aaron...

I'm sorry.
I hope you understand.

I have to go.

[♪♪♪]

Hello.

Hello, Jacob.

My mother asked me
to deliver this jam

for Mrs. Stutzman.

Oh.

That's very thoughtful.

I'll... I'll make sure
she gets it.

Actually, the...

the jam was really an excuse
for me to come by,

so I could ask you
on a date.

Oh!

Oh, uh, I'm flattered.

I'm just still trying
to get a handle

on all my responsibilities here,

and I-I just don't think
the timing's right.

I understand.

I just hope you like jam...

...'cause I plan on coming by
with another jar

and asking you out every day
until the timing is right.

[laughs]

Well, I do like jam.

[laughing]

Good.

Well...

Same time tomorrow?

Sounds good.

[giggling]

[hammer pounding]

I've agreed to go on a date
with one of your employees.

Who?

Jacob.

He seems nice.

And I need to start
moving forward with my life.

I suppose you have to do
what you think is best.

So you lived among the English
for a few years?

Yes.

You ever second-guess
your decision to return?

Never.

I hope I never have to go
back to living there.

Why would you?

Exactly.

There's no reason I would.

Yeah, I don't regret
my decision to return

after Rumspringa, either...

but, well, there are
a few things I miss

about the outside world.

Like?

The usual...

music, movies.

Blue jeans?

[chuckles]

Running water.

Not having to wrestle my hair
into a bun every day.

[chuckles]

Oh, there was
this one video game...

"Dance Dance Revolution".

You're joking.

I mean, you may not believe it,
but I was a dancing machine.

You know what?

You're right.
I... I don't believe it.

Wait. Wait. No.

Huh? Huh?

Jacob. Jacob,
dancing is not permitted.

Oh, come on, there's no music,
so, technically...

...it's more like flailing.

Okay, okay! Sit down.

[both laughing]

Just stop.

[clapping]

I stand corrected.

Hmm?

You are a dancing machine.

I told you.

Who knew?

[Jacob laughs]

[Hannah chuckles]

[Hannah laughs]

-[brakes squeaking]
-[chuckling]

So, you glad I talked you
into going out with me?

Uh, more like pestered...

but, yeah,
I had a nice time.

Good.

May I see you again?

I'd like that.

Me too.

I should go inside.

Mm.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Jacob] Bye, Hannah.

[Hannah] Bye!

[knocking]

[door shuts]

Here's your I.D.

Oh.

Rachel, you should
take that makeup off

before your father sees.

So, how was
your date with Jacob?

It was, um... nice.

Did you kiss him?

No!

It was a first date.

Well, I kissed an English boy.

Rachel...

you need to be careful.

It's easy
to get caught up in things

and then do something
you might later regret.

I know.

So did you want to kiss him?

Goodnight, Rachel.

[laughs]

Okay.

[door opens]

Mm. Ice cream was a great idea.

It's my guilty pleasure.

[laughing]

It's funny.

They pity us,

but I feel sorry for them.

Why?

They think we're missing out
because of what we forgo,

but I think the spiritual wealth
we accumulate

far outweighs

the material possessions
we leave behind...

...and we're still allowed

to eat all the ice cream
our hearts desire.

[both laughing]

Uh, so...

what do you think
of our community?

Can you see it becoming
your forever home?

Yeah...

I can.

[both chuckling]

[Aaron]
"Then Jonah prayed unto..."

So how was the date?

Oh, it was, uh, lovely.

We just went for ice cream.

Any plans to see him again?

Uh...

yes.

I'm going to his home for lunch

to meet his family.

[Sarah chuckles]

Oh... sounds serious.

It won't be long
before he...

he...

[grunts in frustration]

It's okay...

It's okay.

Can I get you anything?

No. She'll be fine.

"Then Jonah prayed
unto the Lord his God.

Out of the fish's belly..."

[grinder whirring]

[Laura] Here's the copy of
Sarah's life-insurance policy

you asked for.

Has her condition regressed?

Unfortunately, it has.

I'll be praying
for you both.

Thank you, Laura.

Jacob.

You have a minute?

Of course.

[sighing]

I hear you intend to introduce
Hannah to your family?

Yeah,
they're excited to meet her.

There's something
I need to tell you about her.

Now, please
don't share this with anyone,

not even Hannah...

but before she came here,

she was involved
in a serious incident...

[quieter] ...that led
to the death of her bishop.

[Jacob chuckles]

Yeah, but it was
an accident, right?

Well, the police
cleared her of any wrongdoing,

but the elders believe
that she is at fault.

Unfortunately,

her past will likely impede

the church's blessing
of marriage.

The mere act

of asking for approval
will...

it will force Hannah
to expose her past,

which she's desperately
trying to keep secret.

Oh.

It's your decision,

but the best thing
that you can do for her

is to end things
between you two.

[Abraham]
Sarah's mom used to make this.

It was her favorite.

It still is.

I hope it's all right.

It's my first attempt
at making it.

Delicious.

Here, let me help you
with this.

[slurping]

Mm.

Thanks, Dad.

You feeling all right?

I'm fine...

just tired.

Your pulse is on the low side.

I should cancel my date.

No.

I'll stay with my daughter.

Thank you.

Hello.

I'm sorry,
but I need to cancel our date.

Oh.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, it's just...

Look, I don't think we should
see each other anymore.

Oh.

Look.

I think you're great.

It's just...

I prayed on it and...

It's fine.

Okay.

Well, I'll see you around.

Goodbye.

[♪♪♪]

Sarah told me

that Jacob ended things
between you two.

Did he give a reason?

Not really.

Well, I just look at it
as a sign...

that we're meant to be together.

Aaron.

Things may have
not worked out with Jacob,

but seeing someone
who's appropriate for me

made it very clear
how inappropriate we've been.

Our love
might be inconvenient,

but it's not inappropriate.

I can't see you

while you're still
married to Sarah.

I'm sorry, Aaron.
I just can't.

[Sarah gasping deeply]

Sarah?
Sarah, what's wrong?

[gasping for breath]

It's all right, I'm here.

I'm here.

[gasping]

It's all right, my love.

-[wheezing intensely]
-Your love is my strength

and my shield.

Your love
is my strength and my shield.

[wracked gasping]

It's all right.

[Sarah whimpering]

I don't understand.

She's exhibiting
entirely new symptoms.

Her illness is unpredictable.

I gave her Laura's herbs,

but what if that's
what's making her worse?

We don't know that.

What should I do?

Whatever you can
to make her comfortable.

That's not enough, Aaron!
She needs to see a doctor.

I understand your impulse,
because I share it.

I have tried to convince Sarah
to seek medical help.

She's unwavering
in her conviction.

But she might die.

We have to keep the faith...

...even in
the toughest of times.

Whatever happens...

it's His plan.

[sighing]

[creaking]

[door shuts]

[exhaling]

[Sarah groaning softly]

[Sarah groaning]

[Sarah groaning]

[Sarah groaning]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[Abraham]
Heavenly Father,

in the shadow of our mourning,

we gather together...

...hearts heavy with grief...

...for the daughter I've lost

and our community
has cherished.

In your wisdom,

you have called Sarah home.

May her spirit
find joy in your kingdom

and let her memory inspire us

to live with kindness

and faith.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[sobbing]

[sniffing deeply]

[sighing]

[Aaron sniffling]

I need to go,
before the girls wake up.

Aaron...

what do we do,

now that I'm no longer needed
as caretaker?

The girls need you
more than ever,

as do I.

But in what capacity?

I'd like to continue
our relationship...

fulfill God's plan.

When you're ready, of course.

You mean discreetly, right?

Yes.

But only until
I've observed a...

respectful period
of mourning.

Aaron.

I've been thinking about this,
and...

[sighing]

...won't marrying
your wife's caretaker

raise some eyebrows?

Sarah wanted me
to find someone

who cherished our children.

I know she'd agree
that you're the ideal candidate.

I'm not sure she'd agree,
if she knew what I'd been doing.

She adored you.

So do I.

Even covered in flour,

you're still so beautiful.

[Hannah chuckles]

[banging on door]

Mr. Stutzman?

I'm Sergeant Riley.

I have a few questions

pertaining
to the passing of your wife.

I need you to come with me
to the station.

Of course.

Aaron?

I'll be home soon.

[door thuds]

What did
that police officer want?

Apparently, a life insurance
agent reached out.

With no formal diagnosis,

Sarah's rapid decline
set off a few red flags.

But everything's
cleared up, right?

Essentially.

She wants to speak with you.

Hey, there's nothing
to be worried about,

because you've done
nothing wrong.

Except having an affair
with you

while Sarah was still alive.

Obviously, there isn't
anything to be gained

by acknowledging that,
correct?

[sternly] Correct?

[smooch]

I understand
that, as part of your duties,

you were tasked
for caring with Mrs. Stutzman?

Yes.

Did that include
managing her medication?

Sarah didn't take any.

Didn't you find that odd,

considering
her advanced condition?

No.

It's not uncommon
for those of our faith

to place their healing
in God's hands.

And how would you describe
her relationship

with Mr. Stutzman?

Good.

Aaron was, um...

very caring and attentive.

So you have
no reason to believe

he would have done anything
to aggravate

his wife's condition?

No. Absolutely not.

Is this all because
of the life-insurance policy?

Mrs. Stutzman died

only days after
the contestability period ended.

A week earlier,

the policy would've been
null and void.

Well, I'm sure
that's just a coincidence.

Speaking of coincidences,

I understand the last person
in your care

also died
from suspicious circumstances.

I-I was cleared of that.

Regardless,

I'm sure you'd agree that
this is a troubling pattern.

Sarah treated me
with the utmost kindness.

What reason would I have
to harm her?

Do you have romantic feelings
for Mr. Stutzman?

No.

So you've never contemplated

stepping into
Mrs. Stutzman's shoes?

No, never.

I had nothing to do
with Sarah's death.

Nobody did.

Sarah was ill
and died of natural causes.

That's it.

[woman] Right this way, Miss.

[Hannah]
What's Laura doing here?

Questioning Ms. Miller.
Questioning.

May I go?

You may.

Thank you.

[chair scrapes floor]

[♪♪♪]

The officer thinks
Sarah was murdered.

Did she state that explicitly?

No, but she hinted
at your possible involvement,

and then mine,

and she seems to know about
my feelings for you.

That's not possible.

She also spoke to Laura.

What if she said something?

Laura was brought in

because she assisted
with the policy.

She'd never say anything
to add to their suspicions.

I just don't understand

why they'd be suspicious
in the first place.

The outside world
can't grasp our way of life...

how we could choose devotion
over medicine.

That's all this is.

When we get home,

I've got something special
to show you.

Keep your eyes closed.

[Hannah chuckles]

Wait right there.

Okay.

Open your eyes.

[fabric flutters]

[gasping]

This is why I've been
spending so much time out here.

Wow.

It's... It's beautiful.

I built it

for you to one day
rock our baby boy.

I know this has been
a particularly stressful time,

especially with what
you've already been through.

But I know...

...when we come
through the shadows

and into the light...

our bond
is going to be even stronger.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[hushed whispering]

[woman]
She's not to be trusted.

[woman #2] Absolutely not.

[woman]
You heard what happened before.

[woman #2]
Yeah, and the police think

she may have killed Sarah
to be with Aaron.

Killed?

Well, I... [clears throat]

This seat's taken.

Aaron...

Aaron.

The entire quilting bee

was gossiping
about the investigation...

...saying
that I may have harmed Sarah

to be with you.

There was even talk

that we were together
while she was still alive.

Unfortunately, the rumors
have reached the elders.

They've asked us
to stand before the council.

What should I tell them?

That there's no truth
to any of it.

Aaron, I know
I've already sinned,

but lying to the council

is akin
to lying to God himself.

Confessing now

will end my prospects
of becoming bishop

and will guarantee
your excommunication.

No other Amish community
will take you in.

If you want a future...
here, with me...

you must do this.

[♪♪♪]

This tribunal serves
as the voice of the Almighty.

Any falsehood uttered here

is tantamount

to bearing false witness
before God.

We've heard
from Brother Aaron.

He's now absent
to allow you

to speak your truth.

No doubt

you've heard the talk

casting shadows
upon your character?

I have.

Matters of legal concern

will be left
to secular authorities.

Here, we address
the allegations

that compromise
the integrity of our beliefs.

What is your response

to the talk
of improper relations

between you and Aaron?

It's untrue.

Has there ever been a moment

where you made
untoward advances toward Aaron

that he didn't reciprocate?

No. Never.

And what of Aaron's conduct?

Has his behavior always merited
the expectations of our faith?

Aaron was a kind
and devoted husband.

In light of the gravity
of this assembly,

is there anything further
you wish to add?

I just want to say
how sorry I am

for any pain
that this situation

has caused you personally.

Your daughter was...

a beautiful person, and...

the thought of her memory
being dimmed

by all of this gossip

weighs heavily on me.

Thank you.

We will speak with you
after we congregate.

Thank you.

[sighs]

Hannah.

Hi.

How are you doing?

I've been better.

I'm sure you've heard
what's being said about me.

I know the gossip
began with Laura.

Laura is somehow
responsible for this.

She is possessive of Aaron
and has never liked me.

I'm not sure
where it all began, but...

well, she hasn't been shy
about fanning the flames.

For the record,
I don't believe any of it.

Well, you seem to be
the only one.

Hang in there.

Better days are ahead.

Thank you, Jacob.

Of course.

Today,

we are faced
with the challenge

of examining the very essence
of our community...

...a challenge that stems

not from the transgressions
of one

but the failings of many.

The undue gossip...

...and judgment

that has besieged Sister Hannah
and Brother Aaron

has left a stain
upon our collective spirit.

We've allowed whispers

to sow discord

as we've strayed

from the foundational virtues
that define us,

and this time of grief
has been compounded

by our own doing...

...and I am personally ashamed

for allowing myself
to get swept up in it.

[quietly] I'm sorry.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

What could you possibly
want to discuss

at our house of worship?

I have a court order

to exhume your wife's remains
for an autopsy.

How could you justify

desecrating
my wife's resting place

without
any evidence whatsoever?

Turns out,
Miss Weaver's proximity

to more than one
suspicious death

also raised the eyebrows
of the judge.

Let's go.

[♪♪♪]

What is this?

Come inside.

[♪♪♪]

I've done nothing wrong.

The police are using
Hannah's past as an excuse.

Were you aware
of the allegations

levied against her

when you offered
her employment?

Yes, as was Sarah.

Finding a woman of our faith
with her qualifications

is difficult.

And you felt that justified

inviting her to live with
my daughter and grandchildren?

Hannah was never charged
with a crime.

Well...

if it's determined
she had any role to play

in Sarah's death,

even if the law
doesn't hold you accountable,

I will.

[♪♪♪]

What is this?

Are these Laura's herbs?

[sniffling softly]

Rachel...

I'm so sorry
you have to go through all this

with your mother.

[Rachel sobs and grunts]

I don't want to talk to you.

I know that you've heard
all sorts of horrible rumors,

but you must know I would never
do anything to harm her.

Right?

But you're glad she's dead.

How could you
say such a thing?

I'm not naive.

It's obvious you want
to be with my father.

But even if
he makes you his wife,

you will never
be my mother.

[door opening]

Bishop Abraham.
I'm sorry, Aaron's not...

I've come to gather
my granddaughters.

They'll be staying with me
till this matter is resolved.

Pack up your belongings.

Meet me at the buggy.

Where's Grace?

She's still in school,

but I can walk her over
when she's finished.

[Abraham] Fine.

[door slams]

Let's get you
to Grandpa's house.

[Grace] Is that Dad?

Why is he coming
out of Laura's house?

Let's, um, let's...
let's just go back this way.

I heard that Abraham

wants my girls to stay with him
for the time being.

I just dropped off Grace.

Aaron...

earlier, when I was walking,

I saw you leaving Laura's house.

You know I feel
she's trying to tarnish me.

I was just about to tell you.

I went there
to confront her

regarding
her gossip about you.

Well, I'm sure
she denied everything.

Actually, no.

She admitted to her jealousy...

her desire
to damage your reputation,

and her wanting
to replace Sarah as my wife.

How did you respond?

I told her I didn't share
the same feelings.

I was gentle, but...
but she was still angry.

She blamed you.

[sighs]

Well, her intention
to keep us apart

may still work.

Wait. What do you mean?

Aaron,

being together in the future

only implies
we were lying

about being together
in the past.

[sighs]

Don't worry.

I'm confident my plan
will overcome her manipulations.

Your "plan"?

I mean, God's plan...

for us.

I'll start dinner.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

[broom bristles swishing]

[stops sweeping]

[broom hits floor]

Aaron!

-[groans]
-Come on.

[Aaron coughing]

I don't understand.

I mean, your symptoms
are exactly the same as Sarah's

the day she passed away.

[wheezing]

I need to go to the hospital.

[indistinct announcement
crackling on PA system]

I heard about Aaron.

Do the doctors know
what's wrong with him?

I haven't had an update.

He doesn't want you here...

and neither do I.

I know you blame me
for the rumors.

All I did was share the truth

about the police
asking questions.

Aaron already told me

that you admitted
to wanting to hurt my reputation

when he spoke
to you yesterday.

I didn't see Aaron yesterday.

You're lying.

I saw him leaving your home.
What were those herbs?

I need you to come
to the station with me.

No. No, I have to be here
for Aaron.

Let's go.

What? No!

Am I under arrest?

I need to inform you

that you're entitled
to have an attorney present.

I-I don't need a lawyer.
I just want to know about Aaron.

Mr. Stutzman's stomach
has been pumped,

and he's expected
to recover.

Did he have food poisoning?

The doctors found
brodifacoum in his system.

I-I don't know what that is.

It's a toxin
commonly used in rat poison.

It's tasteless and odorless,

so while it wasn't
food poisoning,

it's most likely he consumed it
in something he ate.

Do you do the cooking?

Y-Yes, but I-I don't...

Did you prepare dinner
for him last night?

We... We keep rat poison
in the barn, and he was...

he was outside,
right before he got sick.

Maybe he swallowed some
by accident?

That's highly unlikely...

considering
the autopsy determined

that Mrs. Stutzman also died
from consuming the same poison.

Wait.
So Sarah really was murdered?

Did you do it, Hannah?

What? No! No, I didn't.

Look, I don't think
you're some heartless killer.

Quite the contrary.

I believe you genuinely
cared for Mrs. Stutzman,

and watching her suffer,

you made the decision
to ease her pain,

just like you did
the elder you took care of.

I changed my mind.

I want a lawyer.

[door buzzes]

You're free to go.

I apologize
for the misunderstanding.

So I'm no longer a suspect?

Laura Miller has been charged
with Mrs. Stutzman's murder.

I couldn't believe

when they told me
Sarah had been poisoned,

and then I find out
you were in jail.

How did they
come to suspect Laura?

I told Sergeant Riley
Laura confessed her feelings.

[chuckles darkly]
Then I remembered the herbs.

She gave them to you

right before
Sarah's health turned.

And she made me tea
while I was at her house.

The police found a vial
of rat poison in her kitchen.

I don't understand it.

She wanted to marry you...
why poison you, and not me?

Apparently
it wasn't a lethal dose.

Sergeant Riley believes

she poisoned me

to shift the blame
of Sarah's death onto you.

And with me in prison,

there's no competition
for your affection.

Wait. Where are you going?

The council needs
to hear the truth.

Abraham dared to insinuate

that I had a hand
in my wife's death.

He needs to hear this now.

[♪♪♪]

[echoing] Hannah!

Hannah.

[chuckles happily]

Hannah.

Miriam!

I just came by
to share some good news.

My shunning's been lifted.

That's wonderful.

Bishop Abraham felt

I demonstrated genuine remorse
for my actions.

You were so kind to me.

I know you couldn't have done
the horrible things

people are saying.

That means a lot.

But, um...

Laura...

was just arrested
for Sarah's murder.

Oh, my gosh.

I know.

I'm still in shock, myself.

It probably has something
to do with the day before last,

when I saw Aaron
going into Laura's house.

Well, yes, he went there
to confront her

about everything
that's been happening.

But Laura wasn't home.

Are you sure?

I saw her at the market,

minutes after Aaron
let himself into her house.

Laura was telling the truth.

She never saw Aaron
in her home that day.

Pardon?

I'm sorry, Miriam,
I have to go!

[♪♪♪]

[whispering to self]
There was two. There was two.

What have you done?

[pellets crunching
under mallet]

No, no, no.
The poison... Aaron.

[Aaron] Hannah.

What are you doing?

[Hannah] Just taking care
of some chores.

[chuckles]

How did it go with the elders?

They were taken aback,
naturally.

I, uh, enjoyed
listening to them apologize.

Especially Abraham.

[chuckling]

Were you using the rat poison?

No.

Why is it open?

I don't know.

Oh!

The police...

they must have come by
to examine it.

I told them
that we kept some in here,

when they questioned me.

[dog barks]

Someone's here.

Jacob, what are you doing here?

I heard
about Laura being arrested.

I-I can't believe it.

We're still trying
to process it ourselves.

Well, I just wanted
to say how sorry I am

for everything you both
have been through,

and my mother asked me

to drop off
some bread and tomatoes,

as well as a few plants
from our garden.

Apparently, these seedlings

should be replanted
as soon as possible.

We'll do it right away.

Aaron, you really should rest.

Jacob, do you mind
sticking around

and-and helping me
replant these?

-Sure.
-Here, take these inside.

We'll just be a minute.

[hushed] Jacob, there's
something I need to tell you,

and it's gonna be
hard to believe.

[Jacob] Okay.

I think that Aaron
poisoned Sarah

and made Laura
look responsible.

[Aaron] You should have
left things alone. Hannah.

Why would he do such a thing?

So that he could marry me.

Do you have any evidence?

No, nothing concrete.

Well, without any proof,

the elders will almost certainly
take his side.

I know. That's why I need
to speak to the police.

If you want,
I can take you there right now.

No, no.

I need to do this
without Aaron knowing.

If he starts to suspect
that I pieced things together,

he might try to frame me.

[Jacob] Okay, well,
how about later tonight?

I'll come by and wait.

Once Aaron's in bed,
slip out,

and I can take you
there and back

before he realizes
you were gone.

Thank you, Jacob.

I can't tell you
how much your support means.

Of course.

[Aaron] Hannah!

-Go, go.
-Hannah!

When you're finished
in the garden,

come inside...

I have a surprise for you.

[forced]
I'll be right there.

[door opens]

Get everything planted?

Yes.

This looks nice.

Have a seat.

It's the least
I could do for you.

You were working so hard
in the garden.

I thought wine was reserved
for special occasions.

You seem tense.

Have a sip.

You're not having any?

I have a confession to make.

I've done things...

things that I'm not proud of,
for us to be together.

What sort of things, Aaron?

You forced me to stand by
while you grew closer to Jacob,

as my wife was dying...

...and it forced me to act.

I convinced Jacob
to stop pursuing you.

Oh.

Well, I'm sure
you only did that

because of
how much you care for me.

That's right.

I risked

my place
in the community for you.

I even poisoned myself
to frame Laura.

Everything that I hold dear,

I risked for you, Hannah.

I'd kill for you.

But you already know that,
don't you?

Yes.

Question is...

...would you do the same for me?

Yes.

Really?

Because the moment

that our relationship
got put to the test...

you were ready
to swap me out with Jacob.

I just wanted to act in a way
that honored God.

If that was truly the case,

and you believe
that God put us together,

as do I,

wouldn't being with another man
dishonor Him?

We couldn't be together, Aaron.

Oh, no, you made that clear.

Not when my wife was alive...

...so I killed Sarah for you.

[thud]

Hannah!

No!

[Hannah grunts]

-No!
-Hannah!

[Hannah panting]

Hannah!

[hay rustling]

You brought this
on yourself, Hannah!

In my moment of weakness,
you seduced me.

You led me to believe

that God sent you
to bear me a son.

Sarah might not have died
by your hands...

but her blood is on them.

Now you must pay.

Thanks to your past...

...our community will believe

that you confessed
to poisoning Sarah

and framing Laura...

...but,
before I could turn you in...

...you fled...

...and conveniently
disappeared forever.

No! No, no!

[whimpering] No!

You were supposed
to be my Eve...

the promise of a new wife,

of a new life, new son...

and you were
the serpent all along!

Aaron! Aaron! Let her go.

Jacob...
I don't know what she told you,

but she poisoned Sarah.

Jacob, run!

[flesh tears]

I told you.

You should have
stayed away from Hannah.

[gasping]

-Jacob...
-I'm all right.

-Jacob!
-I'm all right.

-Are you okay?
-I'm all right.

[Jacob] Get the rope.

Get the rope!

[Hannah whimpering]

[groaning]

[gasping and wincing]

[Jacob wincing in pain]

[radios crackling]

[Hannah] Bishop Abraham?

I'm so sorry.

No.

I should've heeded my suspicions
of Aaron earlier.

Hannah, it's okay.
You're gonna be safe here.
