Where's Levi?

He's usually not late.

That's okay.

I can give you a ride home.

Are you sure?

Of course.

Let's go.

Thank you.

What, are you done with work already?

It is Past time.

Cheryl had to give me a ride home.

Sorry, I didn't realize.

Thank you.

I was actually about to do some chores.

You come with me?

Sure.

We got news that
my father's oldest brother,

Silas, passed away this morning.

Oh no, no
wonder you all are upset.

Yeah, it was quite sudden,
but there's also something else

that we're trying to work through.

I was planning on buying a
plot of land from my uncle.

You won't take over this farm?

No, it will go to Caleb.

The Amish pass their farms
to their youngest son.

So your uncle, he didn't
have any children of his own?

No, and Silas left the
house and most of the land

to his brother, Amen, but the
parcel that I was gonna buy,

he left for me.

Well, that's wonderful.

Yes, it was very kind of him, but today,

we got a call from Jessica Stockton.

Her husband works at the Land
County Development Department,

and Jeff told her that
somebody had called asking

about buying the parcel of land
that Silas had left for me.

Well, they can't do that,
not if Silas had a will.

Well, this man is saying
that Silas never actually owned

the land and, therefore, he
couldn't give it to anyone,

and the people at the
county office are saying

that they can't find any record of it.

I'm sure your uncle had some kind

of document, like a deed.

We found a deed for the main
piece of land with the house,

but nothing for the section
that he left for me.

So what are you gonna do?

I do not know, but if we
don't find it, lose the land.

Craziest thing.

No thanks.

An offer came in before
we even knew the owner

was deceased.

That's why I called Jessica

and told her she should call the Millers.

I'm so glad you did.

A lot of people around
here are not above board

when it comes to the Amish.

They assume they aren't
educated, and they won't sue.

Is there a paper copy of the deed?

That's just it.

There's no record of that parcel.

It's like it doesn't exist.

So the county can sell it.

Look, I'll try and stop it,

but my best guess is the
buyer knows some people higher

than me.

Do you know who made the offer?

I can't say, but they aren't interested

in farming the land.

Tell Levi he needs to either
find the deed or hire a lawyer.

Okay, while I'm here, would
it be all right if I saw

where the records are kept?

I'll introduce you to Carolyn Caldwell.

She oversees the records rooms.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Carolyn, this is Cheryl Cooper.

She has a question about Silas
Miller's land the county got

an offer on yesterday.

Sure, I'll take care of her.

Hey, good luck.

Thanks, Jeff.

If your question is about
the deed to that land,

Jeff had me pull it yesterday.

It's not there.

So it just disappeared?

Or there never was one.

That happens.

Is it possible that
the record was just filed

in the wrong place?

Not by you.

I can tell you're doing a great job.

Let me show you something.

Do you see that map, that
parcel there without a name?

Is that common?

No.

What about a hard copy?

It would be right here.

I'm sure you already checked,

but is it possible it was misfiled?

Not much chance of there
being a physical copy

if there wasn't a digital one.

Who else has access to these records?

They're public.

So everyone.

Has one ever gone missing before?

Nope.

Okay, well, thank you for looking.

Sure.

How are things going
with the funeral plans?

Everyone is busy.

The boys are digging Uncle Silas's grave.

Seth is building his casket.

Em and Elizabeth are busy
cooking and cleaning.

Oh, Levi and dad were
wondering if you could stop by

after lunch.

They're gonna go to Uncle
Silas's house to look

for the deed.

Sure, I'll be there.

Silas was a good businessman

but was not the most organized.

You'll see when we get there.

There is a safe in the office,

but we do not know the combination.

I read some of the
customer reviews online

for Silas's business.

They were all good.

My brother was talented.

What is that squealing?

It's been doing that for a while.

You should probably
take it to a mechanic.

Mmhmm.

The Parcel of
land goes from those trees

to that road and as far back as that hill.

It's really beautiful.

Let's go find proof that
your uncle owned this land.

This is where he kept
all his business records.

Where was the will?

Lower desk drawer.

What's in the filing cabinets?

Kept a record of every piece
of furniture he worked on,

but I still cannot figure
out his filing system.

We think the deed might be in the safe.

Maybe he wrote the
combination down somewhere.

I'll go check out his workshop.

Okay, I think I figured
out the filing system.

The cabinets were organized
by different types

of furniture and then by date.

He had something against
alphabetical order?

Uncle Silas thought
about things differently.

Hmm.

What was your brother's date of birth?

November 28th, 1947.

Eleven,

twenty eight,

forty seven.

What about his wife's birthday?

I'm not sure.

Well, I can't find a
combination anywhere.

I guess I'll have to call a locksmith.

Michael Borland.

-Who is that?
-Borland development office.

That might be the company
that wanted to buy your land,

Levi, and if that's the case,
Silas must have known him.

Jeff said that the company
didn't want a farm,

which means that they might
have wanted to develop the land.

Never heard of him.

Did anyone else have access
to the house or this workshop?

Ruthanna Yutsi cleaned for Uncle Silas.

I'd like to talk to her,

see if she noticed anything
unusual that could be useful.

Naomi can put
you in touch with her.

What about the lawyer
who handled the sale?

Wouldn't he have a copy of the paperwork?

Luke Bradshaw drew
up the will for Silas.

For many years, he was
one of the only lawyers

that would work with the Amish.

Maybe you can check with him.

Something wrong.

Sometimes he charges more
than he says that he will

or does not do what he promises.

Oh, well, that's good to know.

You don't happen to know who
sold the land to Silas, do you?

No, but Henry King will remember.

It was his land before he
sold it to the Englisher.

Henry King.

He owns the land and the
house on the other side

of the property.

I'll have to check into that.

Hi, I'm here to see Michael Borland.

Do you have an appointment?

No, but it'll only take a minute.

What's it in regards to?

It's about a piece of
property he made an offer on

in Sugarcreek.

One moment, please.

I'm afraid Mr. Borland is out
of the office at the moment.

Oh, any idea when he'll back?

I'm afraid not.

-Mr. Borland?
-I have an appointment

tomorrow with Mr. Bradshaw.

Good, shall we go
see Ruthanna and Henry?

Isn't the visitation later today?

Well, if we go now, I'll have plenty

of time to finish up at home.

I was hoping
your mom would be here.

Oh, come meet Jessica.

Yeah, we have a lot
of family coming in tonight.

Jessica.

Hi, Naomi, do you need me
to pick up anyone tonight?

No, I don't think so.

Thank you.

This is my friend, Cheryl.

Hi.

Jessica drives the Amish.

Oh, I met Jeff at the courthouse.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm glad you both are here.

I've got a van full to take up to Berlin,

but I wanted to let you know.

I just got off a call from Jeff,

and they scheduled the closing for Friday.

This Friday?

That's bad enough, but the developer...

Michael Borland?

Mmhmm, he submitted
plans to build a prison

on the property.

What is wrong with your car?

Wow, coming from the people
who don't even own cars.

I do not have to own a car
to know that that is not right.

I'll make an appointment for next week.

Hey, did you get a chance
to talk to Seth yet

about hiring the attorney?

I think you need to,
especially now that we know

that Borland plans to build
a prison on that land.

Seth has been busy with the funeral,

and I have not had a
chance to talk to him yet.

How can you be so calm?

Well, I do not worry because
it is in the hands of Gott,

and if the land is not for Levi,

then Gott will have something
better in store for him.

Oh, there it is.

Why does she clean
houses if she lives here?

Ruthanna started working
for Silas before her

and Daniel married.

Oh.

I do not mean to
gossip, but she was almost 24

when she got married
and joined the church.

Almost 24, yeesh.

What took her so long?

Gute mya.

Gute mya, Ruthanna,
this is my friend, Cheryl.

Nice to meet you.

Hello, please come in.

You have a beautiful home.

Thank you.

Let me get you some coffee.

Gute feliciana.

Yeah.

Please take a seat.

Thank you.

Your home is beautiful.

Thank you.

Silas was a good man.

I will miss him.

I understand you worked for him?

Cleaning, I also cooked
for him once a week.

I tried to cook enough
so he would not starve.

You took good care of him, danky.

We are looking for the deed to a piece

of land that Silas left Levi.

I do not suppose you have
seen anything like that.

No, I tried to clean up in his office,

but he did not like me moving his things.

So I just dusted around the clutter.

Michael Borland wants to buy the land.

He's planning to put a prison on it.

That is terrible.

I know Silas would want
the land to go to Levi.

We think so too.

If you think of anything
that might be helpful,

will you let us know?

Of course.

Did you see her face when
I mentioned Michael Borland?

I did not notice anything.

I think she knows something
she's not telling us.

Hi, Henry.

Hi, Rose.

Sorry to bother you.

I see you have your hands full.

We did not plan to see
you until the funeral.

I know.

My friend, Cheryl, and I
have a question for you.

-Hello.
-Hi, it's nice to meet you.

It's about the land right over there.

Oh, that is a real nice piece of land.

We sold it about 10 years ago
to a couple in Cincinnati.

They wanted to live off the grid.

-Brian Rumble.
-Brian Rumble,

that was his name.

It was the year our Jesse was married.

We built another room on the house

so they would've a place to stay.

And we sold it to pay for the addition.

The Rumbles built a
little house themselves

that looked like it could
fall down in a strong wind.

Oh, but they saw us making our own food

and thought they would start a garden.

I can see why.

Only problem was they put
half of it over on our property.

After I talked to them,
they said they'd move it.

Next thing we know, they
built a fence around it.

No.

What did you do?

Yeah, about that time,
they decided to move back

to the city.

You don't happen to have an old copy

of the deed from when
you owned it, do you?

No, but Luke.

Luke Bradshaw.

Ah, he might.

I have an appointment
with Mr. Bradshaw tomorrow.

I'll ask him.

You've both been very helpful.

Thank you.

Here take some vegetables with you.

Oh, oh, these look delicious.

Thank you.

I hope Levi gets his land.

Thank you.

We do too.

Bye, we'll see you soon.

Oh, Lydia, it's so
great to have you back.

It's nice to be back.

Looks like you two have
things under control.

-Mmhmm.
-Yep.

Did you find anything out?

I did.

The Kings had a few
leads that were helpful,

but Ruthanna said she
didn't know anything.

I'm not so sure I believe her.

Ruthanna Yutsi had that
boyfriend with the nice car,

an Englisher.

What was his name?

She dated someone who wasn't Amish?

All the guys in our district were upset.

Yeah, they were, weren't they?

He had a fancy job.

His name sounded like boring.

Oh, Borland.

Michael Borland, are you sure?

Are you supposed to be
meeting Levi and dad right now?

Oh, you're right.

Thank you for reminding me.

I'll see you both later.

-Bye.
-Bye.

You'll hear a small click
or feel a bit of resistance

when you get to the right number.

40.

Really?

That was fast.

Yeah, the first one's easy.

Next two will take a bit of time.

Sorry.

An emergency call.

I got a mom locked out of her house.

Her baby's still inside.

Sorry, I'll be back tomorrow.

Okay, good luck.

The locksmith had an emergency.

Well, I think I found something.

Does four, one, five mean something?

It's not enough numbers for the safe.

The first one is 40.

Well, we should get
back home for the viewing.

We will look more tomorrow.

I have to meet Luke
Bradshaw this afternoon,

but I'll be at the funeral tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, okay, bye.

Mr. Bradshaw.

Mr. Bradshaw?

Hi, you must be Cheryl Cooper.

-Yeah.
-Please have a seat.

Thank you.

I wanted to ask you a few
questions about Silas Miller.

Silas, yes, he called a few months back

to make some changes to his will.

A few days ago, Silas passed away.

Oh wow, very sorry to hear that.

I can provide a copy of the will.

The family has that already.

I'm here because the deed is
missing to a piece of land

that Silas left to his nephew

and now the county wants to sell it.

You should be able to get a copy

at the county records office.

I tried.

The county says that there's no digital

or physical record of
the deed of that parcel.

Oh, well, I could go through my files

and see if I still have
any record of the sale,

but that's been long enough
ago that it will be off-site.

I appreciate that, but
the closing is this Friday.

Didn't you say Silas
just died a few days ago?

Mmhmm.

Let me guess.

Is it Borland Developments?

Michael Borland wants to
put a prison on that land.

A prison, no wonder
they're rushing it through.

Is there a way to stop the sale?

The Millers need to file an
injunction to block the sale.

That might at least delay things.

I'll let them know, but I
know the Millers were hoping

to clear this up without
resorting to legal action.

I know a lot of the Amish
have heard rumors about me,

but I'd really like to help out.

I'd be happy to represent
the Millers for free

to show them just how serious I am.

That's very generous.

Thank you.

Is there anything else we can do?

Yes, find the deed.

Hi again.

Oh, you're back.

I just have a few more
questions I'd like to ask you.

Now is not a good time.

I must put supper on the table.

I wondered why you didn't tell us

that you dated Michael Borland.

I do not know what
you are talking about.

Is it because you had something to do

with the deed disappearing?

No, I must go.

Thanks, Hannah.

Yeah, I really hope you find that deed.

It would mean so much to Levi.

If only I could get into
that safe in Silas's office.

Hopefully the locksmith
will be able to open it.

I hope so too.

You know, I usually find
what I'm looking for

in plain sight.

In plain sight.

Chandler Smith.

Cheryl Cooper.

I'm a reporter of The Times.

Would you mind answering some questions

about the proposed prison?

The public should know.

If you think it will help.

Silas Miller died a few days ago.

Teach us to number our days

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Relent, Lord.

How long will it be?

Have compassion under servants.

Satisfy us in the morning
with your unfailing love

that we may sing for joy
and be glad all our days.

Did you enjoy the preacher?

What I could understand.

I hate to bother your dad today,

but I need to find out if he
knows what bank Silas used.

I'll ask.

Wait, before you do, will you tell him

that Luke Bradshaw is willing
to do legal work for free,

but he would need to get started today.

Thank you.

He said he doesn't know,
but Uncle Emmon might.

What about the lawyer?

We're gonna talk.

We have to get to the cemetery now,

but dad wanted to know if you'd be willing

to meet the blacksmith.

Be back after the burial.

-Of course.
-Thank you.

Cheryl.

Ruthanna, hi, are you okay?

Sorry I blew you off yesterday.

I wanted to be straight with
you, but my mom was there.

What about Michael?

Michael is a good guy.

He would never cheat Levi like that.

You don't sound as
Amish as you look today.

I didn't join the church until recently.

I know how I'm supposed to act,

but when I'm around English, I.

Someone deleted all of
the records of Silas's land.

If it wasn't Michael,
then who could it be?

I could try to see what
happened to the file.

You could?

I don't have a way to
access the data myself,

because I don't own a computer,
but I have friends who can.

So you're like a computer hacker?

I studied computer science in college.

That's where I met Michael.

He was teaching classes there.

So what happened?

At one time, I thought
about quitting the church

and moving to Silicon Valley,

but then I met my husband, Daniel.

I still have friends who can help us.

Is it even legal to
hack the county system?

It would be in service
of righting a wrong, right?

It's true.

I have to go back inside.

Thank you, Ruthanna.

If you're hiding in plain
sight, where would you be?

"But seek first his kingdom
and his righteousness"

"and all these things will
be given to you as well."

Matthew 6:33.

Hold on.

What, did the locksmith come?

No, but the locksmith
gave us the first number

of the combination, 40, and
Matthew is the first book

of the New Testament.

6:33.

There is no deed.

No closer to finding it.

No, well, I do have one more idea.

The key that you found yesterday,

I think it goes to a safety deposit box.

Emmon, do you know what bank Silas used?

Yes, First Federal Community Bank.

I'll go check it out.

I will go with you.

Actually, we will all go with you.

What is that noise?

Cheryl says there's
nothing wrong with her car.

That does not sound like nothing.

I'm making an appointment to take it in.

Did Levi tell you I spoke to the attorney?

We have not decided whether
to hire him or not yet.

He's willing to work for free.

We will let you know.

We trust and Gott sei plan,

But we will if we need to.

This may not be what you were expecting.

I had one of those when I was a kid.

Why would he?

Oh, he would just sit
here and listen to music.

He really seemed to enjoy it.

We do not need this.

Cheryl, will you contact the lawyer

and see if he can block the sale?

Sure.

Thank you.

Carolyn is Michael's sister?

Cheryl, what's wrong?

Aunt Mitzi, I've been trying
to help Levi find the deed

or, at the very least, block the sale.

Oh, that would be a big
disappointment for Levi and you.

I'd be really disappointed for him.

Having feelings for an
Amish man can be complicated,

I'm sure.

I don't have feelings for
him, not like that anyway.

Well, that's a relief,
because I'm sure you know

that an Amish man can't
date an English girl.

Of course I know that.

He would have to give up everything.

Right, and I don't
see you becoming Amish.

No.

But if there were another way.

Aunt Mitzi, I have been praying for God

to take these feelings away.

Sweetheart, love isn't
something to pray away.

Pray that God shows you
and Levi another way.

All right, I gotta go.

There's so much to do today.

Wait, what do you mean
when you say another way?

Honey, God always has a way.

I remember hearing of
a star crossed couple

that ended up joining
the Mennonite Church,

but don't listen to me.

Listen to God.

All right, I love you, Cheryl.

Love you too.

Bye, Aunt Mitzi.

Lydia, I really appreciate you picking

up the extra hours this week.

I don't mind at all.

I enjoy the air conditioning here.

Hi, Cheryl, I'm here

to buy those preserves we spoke about.

Oh, of course.

I have them back in my office.

Come with me.

Have a seat.

You were right.

The files were deleted.

Shadow was able to get in and poke around.

How could you see the
files if they were deleted?

Nothing is ever really gone.

There are always traces left behind.

Anyway, he found the file.

It was deleted two years ago.

Really?

He also got the address of
the computer that deleted it.

Was it Michael's sister?

Yes, Carolyn Caldwell.

Michael always said she was
the black sheep of the family.

I have to call Luke
Bradshaw and let him know.

No, you can't use this as evidence.

Why not?

Because of the way we
obtained the information.

You sound like Chief Twitchell.

You need to tell Michael.

Friday mornings he golfs
at the Canton Country Club.

Okay, I'll go there.

Now I need to buy an alibi.

I'll take care of Ruthanna.

My treat.

Thank you.

There you go.

Would it be all right if we kept in touch?

I'd like that.

Me too.

See you later.

Bye.

Have you
talked to the judge yet?

I'm still waiting.

What is that noise?

Is that your car?

Yeah, it's nothing.

Listen, I have some information for you,

but don't ask me where I got it.

Okay.

Someone deleted the deed
from the records two years ago

and of both the owners before that.

How do you know?

Wait, I don't want to know.

At least now we know that
the paperwork was filed,

and there's no doubt that that
land does belong to Silas.

But I have to have legal proof.

I know.

Michael Borland?

I'm Cheryl Cooper.

I wanted to let you know
that I have evidence that you

and your sister tried

to obtain Silas Miller's land illegally.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh yeah, you're the woman from that story.

You're just trying to rile people up.

Have a nice day.

Well.

We heard your car coming.

The whole county could hear you coming.

Why aren't you looking for the deed?

We are.

We are strategizing.

How long have you been doing that?

Silas had a certain logic.

We think that he might have misfiled it.

He may have had it out

when he updated his will in November.

So you think it's possible

that the deed could have been misplaced

among customer files from that same time?

I have an idea.

I know he had plenty of
customer reviews online.

We can cross-reference
'em with the jobs

in the files.

He can't have had that many
customers in one month.

Here you go.

A.M. Davy, he had a table.

A table.

Adesemary Davy, - Maybe.

-No deed.
-Okay, Deb Futter

repaired her rocking chair.

Chair.

No?

There's only one left in November.

Blanca S., couch.

Couch, Blanca.

Finally, here it is.

That's it.

We have to get to the courthouse.

I'll call Luke on the
way and let him know.

Yes.

Hurry, we don't have long.

What was that?

Don't worry.

I'm sure it's fine.

I think you should pull over.

That is not supposed

to be doing that.

I'll call someone to come pick us up.

There's no time.

We'll take the buggy.

Wait, you want to take
the buggy all the way

to New Philadelphia?

That's 13 miles away.

Actually, it's more
like 15 miles from here.

Hi, it's Cheryl.

We have the deed.

We're on our way, but we're
gonna be cutting it close.

I'll hold him off as
long as I can, hurry.

Your Honor, my client is
on their way with evidence

that you need to see before
this deal goes through.

Where are they?

They should be here shortly.

Are there different
speeds on this thing?

Yes, this is fast.

He will make it.

This is our equivalent
of a high speed chase.

I'm sorry, but I can't
wait for your client.

I'm gonna have to ask you to wait outside.

They'll be here any minute.

Until they are, we are going to proceed.

Luke, we're here.

Where are you?

-Room 309.
-We'll hitch up the horse

and find you.

It's 309.

Hurry, gosh.

We are here.

Luke.

They wouldn't let me
in without any proof.

You found it.

Sorry, I was parking the buggy.

You rode all the way here in a buggy?

We do it all the time.

All right, men. let's
get your land back.

The land you are about to
sell belonged to Silas Miller,

and Levi Miller is the legal heir.

But there's no record of the deed.

You should ask your sister about that.

Can your clients wait
outside while we discuss this?

Outside, why?

It's Levi's land.

Cheryl, we've done
everything we needed to.

It's in Gott's hands now.

We will wait outside.

We are done.

The land belongs to you, Levi.

Thank you.

Absolutely, we still
need to file the paperwork

to get the land transferred,
but it will be yours.

I'm sorry.

I thought the county owned the land.

That's what I was trying to
tell you at the country club.

I thought you were some crazy person.

You were standing by
my car waiting for me.

Yeah, can I ask you a question?

If your sister deleted
the files two years ago

and you thought that the
land was owned by the county,

why did you wait until Silas died?

An Amish girl that worked
for him asked me not to.

Ruthanna.

Yeah, I promised her I wouldn't.

The point is I did not mean
to try and steal the land,

and I'm sorry for any trouble I've caused.

Now I think I owe those
gentlemen over there an apology.

Michael, wait.

I'm sorry I misjudged you.

Ruthanna said that you were a good man.

She was right.

Thanks.

Gentlemen, I apologize
for what I've put you

through these past days.

I knew Silas from a mutual
friend, and he was talented

and a very kind man.

Please forgive me.

I forgive you.

I would not have this
if not for your help.

I'm just glad you have your land

and now you can build your house.

Not right away.

This land is for the future.

What are you going to
do with it until then?

Plant some corn and some
wheat, maybe some brothel.

When I build the house,
it's gonna go right there

with a barn for the horses and
a few cows, maybe some goats.

You like goat cheese, a small garden

for growing vegetables and herbs.

I can almost picture it.

Sounds like heaven.

It does, does it?

When I came to Sugarcreek,

I never imagined how much this
town would come to mean to me

or the friendships I would find here.

I still don't know exactly
what the future holds,

but I do know I am right
where God wants me to be.
