(expectant music)

(expectant music)

- I do not care what you say.

Mark Troyer stole her from me.

- You only took her
home from one singing.

- What does that matter?

- Sorry to interrupt.

You boys need anything else?

- No, ma'am.
- No, ma'am.

I suppose you're entitled
to your own opinion,

but you are wrong.

(expectant music continues)

(plate scraping)

(expectant music continues)

- Oh my gosh, blood.

Blood! (screams)

(gentle dramatic music)

(gentle dramatic
music continues)

- [Cheryl] What seemed like
just another ordinary day

in the small town
of Sweetwater, Texas

turned out to be anything but

when Karen Wong
woke up to the news

that her boyfriend of six months
had suddenly gone missing.

(gentle music)

- Morning, Naomi.

- Good morning, Cheryl.

- Esther, Elizabeth,
what brings you in today?

- Oh, it's awful.

The Ashes' boy, Jonas, has
been diagnosed with diabetes.

Elizabeth and I are planning
a fundraiser for them.

- Don't they have insurance?

- Amish do not need insurance.

We take care of each other.

- But how?

Medical costs can be expensive.

- Well, there is a fund for
unexpected medical needs,

and we will collect
donations at the fundraiser.

- What if that's not enough?

- We will have faith.

- Well, let me know
what I can do to help.

- Thank you, Cheryl.

I'm sure there's
something, right, Mamm?

- We will see.

- Lydia.
- Hey, girl.

- Cheryl, this is Lydia
Troyer, my very best friend.

- Hello, Ms. Cooper.

I appreciate you giving
me this opportunity.

- Oh, it's just Cheryl
and you're welcome.

- Hi, Mrs. Miller, Elizabeth.

- Hello, Lydia.

Well, Elizabeth and I must go.

Goodbye now.

- Goodbye, see you later.

- Esther, could you keep
working on the inventory?

- Mm-hmm

- Okay, Lydia, let's
start your training.

All right, so you put
in the amount, print.

(register dings)

Give it a try.

(buttons beeping)

(register dings)

Nice.

(phone alerts)

- While you're on Rumspringa,
the rules don't apply.

You can basically do
whatever you want.

- Well, if Esther's
on Rumspringa,

why can't she have a phone?

- That's a whole other story,

but don't worry, I'll turn
mine off when I'm working.

- I appreciate that.

- What? That's weird.

- What is it?

My cousin has been
missing for three years.

- Is that from him?

- I don't know who it's from,

but someone knows
what happened to Mark.

- Maybe the police
can trace the number.

- I don't think
that's a good idea.

- One more time.

(buttons beeping)

(register dings)

(upbeat music)

- Hey, Cheryl.

- Hi.

- What can I get you?

- Chicken salad, please.

- You got it.

- Kathy.
- Mm-hmm?

- You know pretty much
everybody in Sugarcreek, right?

- Most everyone.

- Lydia Troyer just
started working for me.

What about her cousin, Mark?

Did you know him?

- Mark Troyer? Hmm.

He was the most
popular guy in town.

All the girls were
crazy about him.

It didn't matter if they
were Amish or English.

He stopped wearing
Amish clothes,

and he drove a
little sports car.

Didn't try to hide
it from anyone.

- So what happened to him?

- No one knows.

But the night Mark disappeared,

I found his shirt in the
dumpster covered in blood.

- Blood?

Do you think he was murdered?

- I don't know.

The police found his
car at the bus station.

Now the official statement says

that he ran away like a
lot of the Amish kids do.

- But what about
the bloody shirt?

- I gave it to the police and
heard nothing else about it.

- Interesting.

- I'll get those
started for you.

- Thanks.

(intriguing music)

- Hey, Renee, can I please
speak to Chief Twitchell?

- Hi, Cheryl.

I think he's busy right now.

- Ortega, can you put
a pot of coffee on?

- Hi.

- Oh, hi, Cheryl.

- Chief, can we talk?

- Follow me.

- Lydia Troyer got a text
from an unknown number

saying they know where
her cousin Mark is.

- I know you're knew here,

but we already know
what happened to him.

He ran off like Amish
kids do on Rumspringa.

- What about the bloody shirt?

- I don't know why
I'm telling you this,

but there's a lot more
evidence to suggest

that Troyer kid left town
than any sort of foul play.

- So you tested the
blood on Mark's shirt?

- Look, he was 18.

Legally, he could leave town.

He doesn't have to tell
anyone, not even his family.

- Wait, you're not even
gonna trace the number?

- No need to.

That was done three years ago.

- Oh.

You have been just
as helpful as always.

Excuse me.

- [Twitchell] Did
someone make coffee?

- I'll see.

(soft dramatic music)

Hey, Renee, can you gimme
the file on Mark Troyer?

- Sure.

- Let's keep this
between us, okay?

- Okay, I'll get right on that.

- Cool, thanks.

(uplifting music)

- [Lydia] Thanks for coming
to meet Mark's parents.

(door knocks)

- Lydia, what a surprise.

- Hi, Aunt Joanna.

This is my friend Cheryl.

- Hello.

- She wants to ask you
some questions about Mark.

- Come in.

- [Cheryl] Thanks.

- Naomi speaks so highly of you.

She says God has
given you a gift,

the way you helped find
the Schwartz's baby

and solved those robberies.

- Well, that was
very kind of her.

Mrs. Troyer, Lydia
told me about Mark.

I'd like to try to
help you find your son.

- This is my daughter Matilda.

- Hi, Matilda.

- Dad does not like
us to talk about Mark.

- Matilda, I got a text.

Someone knows where Mark is.

Isn't that good news?

- [Matilda] Who?

- I don't know.

That's what we're
trying to find out.

- Do you have any idea

who might know Mark's
whereabouts now?

Friends, enemies?

- No.

- I do not want his
name spoken in my house.

- Mr. Troyer, hi,
I'm Cheryl Cooper.

I run the Swiss Miss.

- Uncle Saul, Cheryl
is here to help.

- We do not need her help.

- But we have some
information about Mark.

- Lydia, please, he
knows where we are.

- But Saul.

- I have nothing more
to say about this.

- Oh, okay.

Well, thank you for the tea.

That was strange.

- Did I mention their
Swartzentruber Amish?

- No.

- They're the most conservative
of the Amish community.

- Do you think
that's why Mark left?

- Maybe.

He wanted to be an artist

and that is discouraged
in the Amish community.

- Kathy said that he
might've had a girlfriend.

- Yes, Mark broke
a lot of hearts.

- Anyone special?

- There's a long list,

but at the top I would say
Sarah Yutzy, Hannah Hilty,

and Henry Detweiler.

- Henry?

- Mark flirted with Sarah Yutzy,

who was sort of dating
Henry Detweiler.

So when she broke
it off with Henry,

he thought it was Mark's fault.

- Oh.

And what about Hannah Hilty?

- He was Hannah's
first boyfriend,

and I don't think she
ever got over him.

(phone alerts)

- Oh, hold on.

Meet me at the Guggisberg
in parking lot at 8:00 PM.

We need to talk.

- [Lydia] What?

- [Cheryl] Who is this?

(suspenseful music)

- Officer Ortega?

(soft suspenseful music)

Twitchell put you up to this?

- No, he doesn't know I'm here.

- So why are you?

- I agree with you.

The Troyer case could
use another look,

but we have to find new evidence

to justify reopening the case.

- We?

- The Amish aren't fond
of talking to the police,

but it sounds like
they will talk to you.

- So you need my help?

- Let's just say we may be
able to help each other.

- Okay.

- Okay, send me the number.

I'll try and trace it.

You can't tell anyone
about this, okay?

- Got it, thanks.

(gentle music)

- [Cheryl] Thanks.

Hello.
- Hi.

- Ooh, you're making pies.

- Just crust today.

- Is this for the fundraiser?

- Yes, we will
decorate the barn,

and everyone who attends
will bring a dish

and a bit of money
to contribute.

- Yeah.

- You're having it in the barn?

- Our house just isn't big
enough for that many people.

- Well, you could rent a
space and have dinner catered.

- Oh, that is not what we do.

- You could raise
so much more money

if you make it a special event.

I could talk to
Kathy about catering.

Oh, and I could
design some posters

that we could hang around town.

- Uh, I will talk to
the Ashes about that.

- Would you like me
to come with you?

- [Both] No.

- That will not be necessary.

- Cheryl, did you tell
them what happened?

- What happened?

- I'm sure you know
about Mark Troyer.

- Oh, very sad story.

I can only imagine what
Joanna has been through.

- Lydia got a text that
they knew where Mark was,

but she does not
know who sent it.

She asked me to help her
find out where it came from.

- Oh, that would be
such a gift to Joanna

to finally have some answers.

Even if it is bad news,
she'll still know.

- Do you wanna help me?

- Yeah.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- Cheryl, you leaving already?

- Yes, I just stopped by

to ask your mom
about Mark Troyer.

Did you know him?

- Not well.

He's a few years
younger than me.

Though I do remember
Elizabeth and Esther

being quite fond of him.

- Yeah, it sounds like
he was quite popular.

Lydia gave me a few
names to look into.

- Well, if you need
a hand, lemme know.

- Thought you weren't
into mysteries.

- I was just trying
to be helpful,

but if you don't need any...

- That's not what I meant.

- Get the door for you.

- Thank you.

(gentle music)

- All right.

- Bye, Levi.
- Bye.

- Troyer's car was
found abandoned

at the Canton bus station.

A search did not reveal
signs of foul play.

However, Sugarcreek police
have taken possession

of several items inside
the car as evidence:

a book of sculptures by
the artist Martin Puryear,

Canton Raceway betting slip

with a number 87
written on the back.

Troyer has not been seen since
the night of September 24th.

Bo, wouldn't Mark take his
car if he was running away?

(Bo meows)

I think it's suspicious too.

(gentle music)

- Hey, Cheryl.
- Hey.

Can I ask you a couple more
questions about Mark Troyer?

- Yeah, sure.

Go ahead.

- The night that
you found his shirt,

can you remember
who else was there?

- Oh, that kind of
thing sticks with you.

There was Ben Vogel, your Aunt
Mitzi, and two Amish boys.

Henry Detweiler
and Moses Schrock.

- Do you think Henry or
Moses would talk to me?

- Like a lot of the Amish,
especially the boys, no.

- Because we're women?

- Yes, and not Amish,
but they talk to Levi.

- Noted.

Thanks for your help.
- Yep.

Don't you wanna stay
and do the dishes?

- Next time.

(intriguing music)

- [Cheryl] Kathy said the
Amish boys might talk to me

if you were with
me, so thank you.

(intriguing music continues)

- Hi there, how can
I help you folks?

- We're looking for
Henry Detweiler.

Is he working today?

- Yes, he's that young
man right over there.

- [Levi] Henry.

- Hello, Levi.

- It's good to see you, Henry.

This is my friend Cheryl Cooper.

- [Cheryl] Hi.

- We'd like to talk to
you about Mark Troyer.

- We heard there was some
tension between the two of you.

Could you tell me about that?

- It's okay.

You can trust her.

- It is true.

There was tension between us.

We'd not been seeing
each other long,

but Mark stole Sarah from me.

- So it was about a girl?

- Yeah, Sarah Yutzy.

A few weeks before
he disappeared,

Mark flirted with
her at a singing.

He could have had any girl
he wanted, but he picked her.

She went with her,

and he moved on to a new girl.

That's what he did.

After that, she stopped
wanting to see me.

- I know it's hard, but you
will find someone, Henry.

I'm sure.

- I just have one last question.

Do you happen to
have a cell phone?

- Phone? No.

It is forbidden, except
during Rumspringa.

- Thank you for
your time, Henry.

(intriguing music continues)

Well, he's either
upset or guilty.

(Levi sighs)

- I thought we were keeping
this investigation between us.

- [Cheryl] You can trust him.

- Levi Miller.

Your secret is safe
with me, Officer Ortega.

- So what did you find out?

- I ran a check on
Mark in our system.

No matching police records
from the last three years.

I also tried the
community college

where he was taking art classes.

I got a disconnected
phone number

and an invalid email address.

- Anything on the
number I sent you?

- Not yet, but I do have
some news that might help.

I spoke with Jessica Stockton.

She was the last person to
see Mark Troyer in Sugarcreek.

- What did she say?

- She was driving
home from Dover

when she saw a car pulled
over on the side of the road.

Mark was having engine
trouble but waved Jessica on.

- [Cheryl] So she
didn't speak to him?

- No, but what wasn't
in the police report was

that there was a girl
in the car with him.

- A girl?

Did she know who it was?

- Just that she wasn't
Amish and she wore glasses.

- So maybe Mark had
an English girlfriend?

- It's unlikely in our church.

- But not impossible.

I mean, especially
during Rumspringa, right?

- Right.

(radio chatter)
- Copy that.

I gotta go.

- Thank you, officer.
- Bye.

- Lydia, can you come in here?

What do you think?

- It's not very Amish.

Well, we wanna get the
whole town involved,

not just the Amish.

- Mm.

(soft music)

"But while he was
still a long way off,

his father saw him and was
filled with compassion for him.

He ran to his son,

threw his arms around
him and kissed him."

- Do you think Saul
would let Mark come home

if he wanted to?

- Uncle Saul is strict,
but he's a good father.

My mamm says he is heartbroken,
but he tries to hide it.

There's nothing he would want
more than to hear from Mark.

- I'm sure that's true
of the whole family.

- He may be a prodigal,

but they'd welcome him
home with open arms.

- Do you know if he had
an English girlfriend?

- No.

Never mentioned it if he did.

But you should ask
my brother Elam.

They were close.

- Lydia, if the police
couldn't figure out

what happened to Mark,
what makes you think I can?

- Because you care.

The police didn't.

(soft music)

(upbeat music)

- This is my house.

- Hold the bag wider.

- Cheryl, these are my older
brothers, Elam and Thomas.

- Hey.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Cheryl wants to
ask you about Mark.

- Do you know if he
had English girlfriend

around the time he disappeared?

- Mark liked Amish
and English girls.

- It would be hard to keep
track of all the girls.

- So there was no one special,

someone he might have taken
with him when he disappeared?

- Not that we know of.

- I read that they found
a betting slip in his car.

- Huh?

During Rumspringa, we
went to the horse races.

There was even talk Mark
got mixed up with gangsters.

But the only thing we lost
was our hard-earned money.

- Sorry to hear that.

Just one more question.

Do either of you
have a cell phone?

- No. No, ma'am.

We give them up
after Rumspringa.

Gave mine to Thomas.

- Yeah, thanks for that.

Took about a week
before it broke.

(phone alerts)
- It's him again.

- [Cheryl] Open the box.

(puzzling music)

- A puzzle box?

- Mark loved making them.

- It's beautiful.

- He gave it to me
for my 13th birthday.

Just a couple of weeks
before he disappeared.

- Well, the text
said to open it.

We haven't been able
to figure it out.

You can try.

(uplifting music)

(box rattles)

- Why don't we
just bust it open?

- We can't.

It's the last thing Lydia
has from her cousin.

- Fine.

(phone ringing)

This is Officer Ortega.

Okay, thanks.

That was the phone company.

The number is registered
to Elam Troyer.

- That's not possible.

I was with him when
Lydia got that last text.

- He must be hiding something.

Why don't you talk to him
and find out what it is?

- I'm on it.

(expectant music)

Hi, again.

- What can we do
for you, Cheryl?

- Elam, I thought you said
you didn't have a phone.

- I gave my phone to Thomas.

- Where is it now?

- In my room, but it's broken.

- Could you show it to me?

- I'll be right back.

(soft music)

Here it is.

- Thank you.

It doesn't even power on.

Wait, is the SIM
card still in here?

- I don't know what that is.

- Elam, are you still
paying the phone bill?

- The charges were deducted
from my bank account,

but when I gave it to Thomas,

I told him to change it to his.

- It broke before I
even got around to it.

- Well, if you're
still paying for it,

that means the SIM
card's still active.

Someone could be using
it in another phone.

- What's that mean?

- There's no SIM card.

- Thomas, could
someone have taken it?

- I don't know.

(Bo meows)

- Nice try, Bo.

(Cheryl sighs)

(soft music)

Got that part.

What are you hiding
in there, Mark?

(gentle music)

Thanks for coming with
me to see Moses, Levi.

(metal clanking)

What is this?

- Levi.

How are you doing?

- Good to see you.

This is Cheryl.

- Hi.
- Hi there.

- Cheryl has a few questions
for you about Mark Troyer.

- He was nice enough
to show me the ropes.

I started working
here at the buggy shop

about a month before
his disappearance.

- So you didn't notice
any strange behavior?

- No, he was on
Rumspringa at the time.

Everyone liked Mark,
especially the girls,

except for Henry Detweiler.

He was sure Mark had ruined
his chances of Sarah Yutzy.

He was angry about it.

But Sarah was never
serious about Henry.

- How do you know that?

- I'm married to Sarah's
sister and they talk.

- So you were at the Honeybee

the night they found
Mark's bloody shirt, right?

- That wasn't Mark's shirt.

That was my shirt.

- The bloody shirt was yours?

- I cut my hand on a bus saw

the last day Mark and
I had worked together.

I had blood all over,

and he got me an extra
shirt out of his car,

and then I bled all
over that one too.

- Must have been a deep cut.

- I have not made
that mistake again.

Anyway, I called Henry.

We had phones at the time.

I called him to meet me at the
Honeybee with a fresh shirt.

I threw Mark's in the
dumpster before we met.

I figured he would
not want that back.

- Why didn't you
tell the police?

- No one asked.

My mom passed away at the time.

I wasn't working.

I didn't even hear about
Mark's disappearance

until weeks later.

Was there anything else?

- No, you've been very helpful.

- Thank you, Moses.

- Good seeing you.
- You too.

- You should probably
talk to Officer Ortega.

- Yeah.

- And so I think given the fact

that Jessica Stockton's
account was not fully recorded,

there may be reason enough to
take another look at the case.

If we request access to see
where the phone is located,

it, it might just
give us the answers

we need to finally
put this case to bed.

- That's been in bed
and sleeping soundly for three years.

Troyer is a runaway.

That's the end of that.

- Chief, his family
deserves closure.

- We have actual
crimes to solve.

Do you understand, officer?

- Yes, sir.

- [Twitchell] That's all.

(contemplative music)

(phone ringing)

- I can't believe
Ortega didn't answer.

(gentle music)

Thanks again.

You were a huge help today.

I don't think they would've
talked to me without you.

- Not all Amish men find it
easy to talk to English women.

At least not as easy
as I do with you.

- Hmm, I like
talking to you too.

I should...
- Yeah.

(gentle music continues)

- Hi.

- Hey, how's it going
with Moses Schrock?

- Well, it was his
blood on the shirt.

Not Mark Troyer's.

- Ah, Moses Schrock's?

- Mm-hmm, he cut his
hand on a saw at work.

Mark gave him his shirt,

but he bled right through it

and threw it in the dumpster.

- Oh my goodness.

- Yeah.

Anyways, while I was here,

I thought I'd check
on the fundraiser.

Do you think we should get

some speakers for
the dance floor?

- Amish do not dance, Cheryl.

- Well, yeah, but
for the other guests.

- I know your heart
is in the right place,

but this is an Amish
fundraiser, not English.

- Just trying to help.

- It is not necessary.

(serious music)

- You're never
gonna believe this.

It turns out the blood on the
shirt wasn't Mark Troyer's,

it was Moses Schrock's.

So at least now we can
focus on finding Mark

and not some killer.

- He said I can't
pursue the case anymore.

- Are you serious?

You're just gonna give up?

- I can't lose my
job over one case.

And it sounds like from what
you found out from Moses

that Twitchell is right.

Mark is probably a runaway.

- You just said it, probably.

- Cheryl, please just
leave this alone.

- Wow, you sound
just like Twitchell.

Maybe you two
deserve each other.

(gentle music)

You don't have to do that.

- I don't mind.

Anyway, I'm not here
on my own accord.

- You're not?

- Mamm is afraid that
she hurt your feelings.

She asked me to come
and check with you.

- I'm fine.

I wasn't listening
to her or Elizabeth.

I just wanted to do
everything my own way.

You know, I haven't
had a yard before.

Can I try?

- Sure.

- Like?

- You'll find it easier if
you rake with the breeze

that way the leaves
blow towards you.

See?

Oh.

Yeah, it's not always a
bad thing to be headstrong.

It means you know what you want.

- It also means you don't
know when to let go.

Just like in grade school

when they took the
strawberry milk off the menu.

I tried to get everyone
to protest with me,

and then I found out I was
the only one who liked it.

Still protested anyway.

Just me and my sign.

- Strawberry milk?

- I guess it's an
acquired taste.

- How'd everything go
with Officer Ortega?

- She's done helping me.

Twitchell put an end to that.

- Well, I guess that just means

you'll have to find
Mark on your own.

- How?

The only clue I have
left is that puzzle box

that Mark left for Lydia.

- You never mentioned
a puzzle box.

- I didn't?

Come on.

- Let's see.

(gentle music)

Just there.

Got it.

- Oh my gosh, Levi,
you're amazing.

- Well, I, I do like puzzles.

- Oh, well, you know,

mysteries are just big
puzzles waiting to be solved.

(uplifting music)

- What is it?

- The title to Mark's car.

He signed it over to you, Lydia.

- That's not Mark's name.

It says Mark Puryear.

- I guess he changed
his last name.

- To his favorite artist.

- Which explains why
we couldn't find him

in any of our searches.

- So if Mark left me his car,

that means he planned
to leave all alone.

But I don't understand

why would he just vanish
without telling anyone?

- I think someone did know.

- Oh, Chief Twitchell
wants to see you.

- He probably wants
me to make coffee.

- Yeah.

(door knocks)

- You wanted to see me?

- Take a seat.

I went over your notes
on the Troyer file.

It's not bad work.

I may have missed a
few things after all.

I decided to reopen the case.

I'm writing a formal request
to the courthouse right now,

asking them to track
that SIM card signal

to find out who's been
texting Lydia Troyer.

- Thank you, Chief.

- There's just one condition.

I don't want to hear anything

about Cheryl Cooper
being involved in this.

Is that clear?

- Yes, sir.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)
(people chattering)

- There you are.

I'm so glad you came.

- Of course I came.

Naomi, this is lovely.

- It would've been lovelier

if we had brought
someone in to decorate.

- It could not have
turned out better.

I'm sorry I tried to take over.

I just wanted the night to be
successful for your friend.

- I know.

And it, and it is.

Look around.

See all these
people who came out

to show my cousin and her
family that they care?

- What about their
medical expenses?

Well, we will be able
to cover some of it,

but the most important
thing is that they know

that we are there for them
and we know what they need.

And whatever we can't provide,

we will trust that God will.

- You're right.

- Our table is right over there.

- I'm gonna get some food.

- Cheryl, you made it.

- Elizabeth, hi.

You did a beautiful job in here.

- You're, you're too kind.

- No, it's perfect. It truly is.

- Levi says there's some big
developments in Mark's case.

- I think we're getting closer.

- I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Deb and Levi are waiting
for you over there.

Oh, okay.

(phone alerts)

- Cheryl!

Cheryl, hey.

- What are you doing
at an Amish fundraiser?

- I thought you'd be here.

And I wanted to tell you,

Twitchell's working
on the court order

to track the cell phone.

- I think you might be too late.

They just sent me this text.

I think someone overheard
me talking about the case.

- They're here?

Call the number.

- Good idea.

(phone ringing)

Where is that?

- [Ortega] Over there!

- Lydia, come on.

- Police, stop!

- Turn around slowly.

- Elizabeth?

- What's happening?

- I think we found
our mystery texter.

- But she doesn't even own

a phone.

- I bought it during
my Rumspringa.

- Go on.

- I took the SIM card
from Thomas's phone

when I was helping
his mom with the baby.

- Why would you do that?

- Because I know what
happened to Mark,

and I wanted you to know.

- What happened to him?

- He left to study
art in New York.

- But why would he leave
without telling anyone?

- He didn't.

He left a note for
his whole family.

He's even written his parents
and they've never responded.

- [Speaker] Huh?

- How do you know?

- Mark and I used to see
each other romantically.

- Mark Troyer?

- I'm sorry.

It, it was a secret.

I knew what people would think.

I was too young, but we
told each other everything.

He told me things

that he did not dare tell
his family or anyone.

We ended things before he left,

but we've remained friends,

even though he's married.

- Mark is married?

- So what did you
mean by your text?

You're getting closer.

There's not much time.

- Mark's wife's pregnant.

And in the new year,
they're moving to Rome.

I just wanted him and
his family to make peace

before they left the
country and it's too late.

- So it was you and the car
with Mark the night he left?

- No, that, that was not me.

- Then who was it?�

- Matilda.

- Matilda?

- I found Mark's
note that night.

I did not want him to leave.

So I found him and I tried
to convince him to stay,

but his mind was
already made up.

- Why not tell us?

- I knew it would
upset you and dad

to know that Mark
had abandoned us,

our family, our faith.

- You thought it
would be better for us

to think that our son left
without saying goodbye?

Or even worse, to
think he might be dead?

- The rules of our
district are very clear.

We do not condone sin
among our members.

- Did you not think that
we would forgive him?

He's more important
than any of the rules.

- Mark was not a member.

He'd not been baptized yet.

- Where are the letters he sent?

I want to see them.

- I, I did not want him to
influence the younger children,

so I, I burned them.

I was only trying to
keep our family together.

- Matilda, everyone can
make their own decisions

about joining the church,

even your brothers and sisters.

(dramatic music)

- Come inside.

Can I have everyone's
attention please?

I wanted to thank everyone

for coming out in
support of the Ashes.

Not only have you
given of your talents

with all of this delicious food,

but you have opened up your
hearts and given generously.

God is good.

(people applaud)

- This is really good.

Poor Elizabeth having
to keep that all in.

- You can never
trust the quiet ones.

- Do you think she still
has feelings for Mark?

- Just friendship.

- Sometimes that's enough.

- Cheryl, did you
see all of the pies

that they have up there?

- No.

- Did I interrupt something?

- Uh.

(exciting music)

- He's here.

(gentle music)

- Welcome home, Son.

- It's good to see you, Dad.

This is my wife, Anna.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- I've heard a lot
about you guys.

It's great to meet you.

- It's good to see you.

- Matilda.

Elam, Thomas.

- Nice to meet you.

- Lydia, good to see you.

Elizabeth, it's been
too long, Lizzie.

- Are you talking
about your hair?

- You must be the Cheryl
Cooper I keep hearing about.

- It's very nice
to meet you, Mark.

- Nice to meet you too.

- Come inside, everyone.

Supper time.

- [Cheryl] Grace has a
way of pulling us back,

guiding us home even
when we've strayed far,

even when we're
unsure if we belong.

Tonight wasn't just a
celebration for the Troyers.

It was a reminder for all of us.

No matter how far we wander,

there's always a way
back to the father.

(upbeat music)
