Original subtitles

Good morning, katie.

Spinning around the roses.

The pocket full of bouquets.

Ashes! Ashes!

We all fell.

What do we have here?

Newborn.

No pulse or breath.

Not a sign of life.

- Stillborn? - I do not know.

- Where are you from? - I do not know.

Some boys found him wrapped in that cloth,

floating near the reeds.

Did someone give birth to this baby and try to hide it?

It seems so.

The baby?

Is he alive?

I'm Detective Sergeant Lisa Munro.

May I ask who you are?

Sarah Fitch.

I live here. This is my fifth.

Mrs. Fitch, I'm sorry, but the baby is dead.

Look, I know this must be difficult for you, but...

I have to ask a few questions.

Mr. Whitmore.

Mrs. Harrison, only one question.

How does it feel to be acquitted?

Mr Whitmore has no comments yet.

MS. Harrison, 4 wins in 4 trials, how do you feel?

Actually, it's only 5, but who's counting.

What was the crucial point at the trial?

No comments yet.

Oh, please, Miss. Harrison, one more question.

Come on folks.

Hey, yeah.

Hear?

It is news everywhere.

Yes.

Who'd have thought we'd find someone to get us out of, huh?

Yes.

Congratulations.

The office is excited.

They want a meeting with you tomorrow.

We're talking about society here, Ellie, senior fellow.

Ellie.

Whitmore sent me two roses.

He was to send you to Barbados for a month, first class.

- I threw them in the trash. - What?

Because?

Steve this guy was accused of diverting 300 million...

of the retirement funds, I released it.

This is your job.

- That you do very well. - He was guilty!

Oh, Ellie, do not do that.

Does it ever bother you?

What?

That everyone has the right of defense and that in defending them...

we preserve not only our legal system,

but also our constitution.

Why do not you say that...

to the old man sitting in the courtroom with tears running down his face...

when the verdict was read.

What happened to 'winning'...

and earn a hell of a lot by doing that.

I do not remember having this class at law school.

When has it become such a soft heart?

I do not have soft hearts, which I am aware of.

Well, why do not you go to work for the prosecution...

and cages the bandits,

You know what? You will still find cause for complaint.

That was...

Type?

Why is there an ambulance here? Are the man and the father all right?

They found a baby,

dead.

As well? Whose baby?

We do not know.

That's why the police are here.

Did you notice anything abnormal this morning?

Scissors are gone.

- Can you show me? - I do not know where they left off.

Is it normal?

"Something like that?" "I run an organized farm.

"If she shows up, will you let me know?" If you want.

OK.

This is where I keep it.

Mr. Fitch, is it possible that your wife was alive?

Do not.

Sarah can not have any more children after her last...

pregnancy.

Your other children, and how about them?

Well, there's Katie.

And where is she now?

Well, she had an errand...

It's morning, on the road, it comes back soon.

Mr. Fitch, is it possible that she was alive?

Do not.

She is not even married.

This is not a prerequisite.

For us, it is.

Detective.

I have something here.

Let me see.

- What is it? - Looks like a sweater.

The baby was born here.

Here is the placenta and by size is not animal.

What cut the umbilical cord? Could it be a pair of scissors?

Perhaps.

Was he stillborn?

We will know after autologie, but I suspect it is not.

What then? He just died.

I did not say that either.

He's saying someone intentionally killed him.

It's you who have to figure this out.

Katie Fitch Yes?

I'm a cop, Lisa Munro.

I need to ask you some questions.

I'm sorry,

Katie, do you know what happens when you have a baby?

Yes.

I knew that if a woman gives birth...

and not receive medical treatment immediately,

Can she be putting herself in danger?

Do not.

I mean, I think so.

Katie, do you want to tell me something?

Are you okay?

Yes I'm fine.

Katie!

Katie, it's going to be all right.

It's all right.

B. P.?

80 out of 40.

- Rate of respiration? - 28.

She's getting into shock. "She said there was no life."

How was it? Was your daughter alive?

Baby, it's going to be all right.

Take off your skirt.

One vsu, acd and cvc.

I can not do it, your skirt is clinging to her dress.

It is glued with pins.

Cut off your skirt if you have to.

She's falling down!

Blue code.

Have it prepared for an emergency procedure.

I need blood here.

Kate.

Sarah.

I just got your message.

- So sorry. - What about Katie?

- You confirmed? - Yes.

Yes. She'll be fine.

Dr. McDuff is excellent. She is in very good hands.

Are you sure? I did not like that man.

As well?

He did not believe Katie when she said she did not give birth.

If the baby is not Katie's, then whose is it?

- I do not know. - Sarah.

We have tests that determine pregnancy...

and these tests do not lie,

but maybe Katie lied.

- Did not you notice the change in the body? - No!

And if she had got in trouble, she would have told me.

If the baby was Katie's...

and can prove that he was born alive, she will be in a lot of trouble.

Leda.

Katie's fate is in the hands of the Lord,

I'm willing to accept His will, I know you do not believe it yet.

Do not! This has nothing to do with my church service,

This is about Katie...

go to jail,

let me help.

Oh, Leda.

"How are you feeling?" Well, I think I'm going home today.

What's happening on Thursday?

We finished the third hay cut...

And the police...

is still there.

Samuel,

I did not give birth.

Believe me?

Yes.

Of course yes.

- Hey. - Hi.

What's happening?

Oh, I think I'm having a mid-life crisis 10 years earlier.

- Steven? - Yes, let's break up.

It was not working.

I just refused two jobs...

and told my firm that I'm going to take a month off...

and if they did not like it they could say goodbye, then...

They said it took two months, then I'm going to Italy.

I'm going to eat a lot of pasta and decide what the hell I'm going to do with my life.

So... enough of this talk.

What was so important that I could not even talk on the phone?

My cousin's daughter is in the hospital.

Complications in childbirth.

"Oh, my God, your cousin Amish?" Yes.

I thought you did not talk to them?

It's one more question they do not talk to me, but Sarah is desperate.

And it gets worse.

The baby's dead, Ellie.

Stillborn?

Being for medical malpractice,

I can make a recommendation and get you the best.

Do not. It was a homemade delivery and she...

kept her pregnancy a secret.

Oh, do not, Leda.

I can not. I'm sorry. Do not do this to me.

I can not do that. "You're talking about murder, Ellie."

And the Amish...

They do not react.

Then Katie will end up in prison...

and your family will say that it is the will of God. She needs a lawyer.

Yes. And I deal with white collar crimes I do not do that.

I know, but you can do it. I am sure.

Hundreds of other lawyers in the city who are crazy...

to accept a case like this. "You're the only one I trust."

Leda. Did you hear what I just said?

I'm desperate for a break.

We're talking about my family.

A frightened 18-year-old girl who never left the farm...

much less went to court.

She did not kill your baby, Ellie, I'm telling you.

And I'm saying...

The last thing I need now is another case.

I'm sorry.

Maybe that's just the case you need.

Do you still remember why you wanted to be a lawyer?

Why do I have to stay in the chair? I am fine.

It's hospital politics, my dear. Everyone has to do this.

Let me crash.

I'll help you get up. "Are you okay?"

It is going to be alright.

Sarah.

Sarah.

- Katie Fitch? - Yes?

- I have a warrant for arrest. - What is the accusation?

First degree murder.

You have the right to remain silent,

everything you say can and will be used against you.

You need a lawyer and if you can not afford it,

- shall be assigned one. - Mother!

Mrs. Fitch, step back. Do not let her come close.

- Do not. - M م e.

Hi, it's Ellie, leave a message.

Ellie, it's Leda, somebody wants to talk to you.

Hello? This is Sarah Fitch.

I'm Leda's cousin.

They arrested my Katie for murder.

Perhaps...

can help us.

Please!

We do not know what to do.

You were charged with murder in the first degree...

It means that you, Katie Fitch,

with deceit and premeditation, caused the death of an unnamed newborn.

Do you have a lawyer?

I do not want one.

MS. Fitch. Is it aware of the seriousness of the accusations?

Yes sir.

Well, I will not allow you to defend yourself in my court.

- I'll appoint a public defender. - It will not be necessary.

Merit, I'm Ellie Harrison, I represent the defense,

Thank you for the delay, can I have 5 minutes with my client?

Feel free.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Hi, Katie.

I'm Ellie Harrison,

friend of Leda,

We do not have much time for conversation, so I'm going to be quick, right?

Why did you refuse to represent you?

My dad does not want me to have a lawyer.

Well, well, darling, it's your future that's committed and not his.

How about we deny the accusation today...

and later we will sit down and talk about everything.

But now we have to try to get bail.

I did not have any baby.

Yes?

Although...

the police, a doctor, and a whole hospital say he had?

That's right.

OK.

My client denies the accusation.

Dr. Calloway, does the state recommend a specific bail bond?

Pennsylvania law requires...

to be denied bail in cases of first-degree murder...

I do not see reason for non-compliance.

Merit, the law requires denying sureties...

when the evidence is either patent or conclusive.

In this case, none of the situations applies.

We have to consider the risk of leakage,

inherent in first-degree murder cases.

Are you serious?

Merit, she's Amish,

violence between them is practically non-existent,

not to mention strong community ties.

The risk of escape is the least I have ever encountered,

the bond should be granted.

Under certain conditions, obviously.

Such as?

May Fitch girl stay in her parents' farm...

under full-time supervision of a relative.

This is absurd, meritorious, this is a first-degree murder,

We do not know what this young woman is capable of.

Harrison's argument was very convincing.

But in first-degree murder,

I'm not comfortable with a relative supervising the reverse.

I am grateful, mercifully.

Well, the court can appoint an outside custodian.

Whatever, girl Harrison, I designate you.

- What? - What?

And I'm not talking about escorting her to school parties,

I am referring to supervision for 24 hours, on Thursday.

Yours sincerely,

as much as I want to comply with this request,

I am unable to prepare my client's case.

Either it's the guard, or you do not get bail.

Very well, merit, I accept.

Order pronounced.

Maybe if you squint, I can pretend it's Tuscany here.

I am Samuel Stoflus. Allow me.

Thanks.

This is my husband Aaron.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Fitch.

It's all right.

Thanks.

Come here.

I'll take you to your room, Miss Harrison.

Please, call me Ellie.

I know the girl is not there. Accustomed to this,

but I hope you will be comfortable with us.

I'm sorry we did not have electricity.

I know, but I'm sure I'll find a way.

But I wanted to ask a question.

I'll have to make some calls,

Is there somewhere I can recharge my phone?

Do not. But there's a public phone 20 minutes from here.

- OK. - Now.

Excuse me, I'll start dinner.

- Thanks. - Please.

Call me Sarah.

Thanks.

Forgiveness.

Let us pray.

Girl Harrison. Are you sure about your faith?

Am I what?

The girl is Catholic... Methodist?

I'm sorry, but what does my faith have to do with being Katie's lawyer?

Many see here thinking they want to become simple.

Live in simplicity in the Amish way.

As if that were the answer to all your problems.

I assure you, Mr. Fitch, that I have not come here to become simple.

I'm here to keep your daughter out of prison.

If it is not religious,

So what do you believe in?

Katie.

- Got a minute? - Yes.

I know this...

It is incredibly uncomfortable and...

it must be very difficult for you.

I heard, the judge forced her to stay here.

Yes, you did.

But I do not think your first choice was to have me here.

Looks like we're stuck with each other, is not it?

Looks.

Katie, do you know what a patron is?

Actually, no.

It is someone who supports another.

This is what a lawyer does and that means...

that I'm on your side.

And the sooner you recognize it, the easier it will be.

OK.

I just...

meant...

that everything we talk about...

it is confidential, that is, it is between us.

So,

Why do not we make a pact?

I will not ask...

if it is guilty,

but instead I want you to tell me the truth of what I ask.

OK?

Okay, so why do not we start by talking to me...

about the baby.

I did not have a baby. It was not even big.

Katie. I can count on at least three medical specialists...

who officially say her body shows signs of a recent birth.

Besides, I can rub a blood test on your face...

which proves the same thing. So how can you sit there and say...

that you did not have the baby?

How can you sit and tell me you're not censoring me?

Is it because you can not remember?

Do not.

Katie, I can not help you unless you tell me the truth.

I went to bed Thursday night,

I woke up Friday, made the coffee, and went to the MaCkenzies to deliver milk.

Someone else can confirm that you've been sleeping here all night.

I do not know. I was sleeping.

And the person who sleeps there, who sleeps there?

No one sleeps there.

A life was received in heaven.

A life that shone on earth for a brief moment.

But nevertheless, for a moment.

Let us pray.

The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want.

He makes me rest on green pastures.

He guides me quietly to tranquil waters,

refresh my soul.

Lead me in the paths of righteousness, for the sake of his name.

Though I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I would fear no evil,

for thou art with me;

Your rod and your staff comfort me.

You prepare a table before me...

in the presence of my enemies,

You anoint my head with oil,

My penis overflows.

Surely kindness and mercy will follow me...

every days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD.

Katie,

nor can I imagine how difficult it must be for you.

The boy who is burying him,

it's not mine, if that's what you're thinking.

How do you know it's a boy?

Are you hiding?

I can not see you.

Hannah.

Where are you?

I missed you.

Katie?

What are you doing here? "I ask that question."

- Are you waiting for your boyfriend? - Samuel? Do not!

Katie, you're being tried for murder...

and came hidden to the in the middle of the night,

"You came to meet whom?" It was not Samuel.

Okay. So you came to meet who? "No one, I could not sleep."

I heard her talking to someone.

He thought he was hiding.

- She. - What?

The person I was talking to is a girl.

Okay, so who is she?

It's my sister, Hannah.

Your sister?

How come I did not know her? Where is she? In school?

She's dead.

She was 7 years old.

I was 12. I should have been taking care of her when she disappeared.

I tried to save her, but...

died drowned.

So,

sometimes you come here and...

see your sister?

Yes.

And we talked.

About what you talk about.

Stuff.

Katie, did you tell anyone about this?

Do not.

Do not. My parents would think I'm...

"fahudled", crazy.

Do you think you're fahuded?

- Dr. Cooper. - John?

Hi, it's Ellie...

Harrison?

Hi, how's it going?

Good, thank you, and you?

Good, very good.

Is everything alright?

Yes, everything is fine.

It is that we have not spoken for some time...

and I thought that he had not yet resigned himself to being left without me.

No, Cooper, I just assumed you got married.

It was a joke, Coop.

Right.

So if you do not mind me asking,

why are you calling?

You will not believe me, but I'm spending some time in an Amish farm.

Is this some kind of religious transformation?

Do not. It...

Do not. My client is Amish, and...

she was accused of murdering the newborn...

and was appointed guardian.

I admit this is out of my league, Cooper, it's...

that's why I'm calling.

I need your help,

I need you to evaluate it.

Because I? I'm a normal logo psy...

and not a judicial psychiatrist.

Because...

this examination needs to be done with a lot of secrecy...

I know it may seem strange, considered our past, but...

I trust you.

Cooper?

Yes, OK...

Let me see my schedule and see what I can do.

Listen, Cooper, I'm worried about this girl.

She even denies that she had the baby.

It's not that unusual.

And she says she sees ghosts.

Are we talking about the little gaspar?

Just kidding, Ellie.

It is the ghost of your sister and she speaks to him out loud.

Until Monday.

Thanks. Goodbye.

What is happening?

It's Sunday.

Oh, church.

We were out in five minutes.

OK.

Thanks.

Nice to see you.

Aaron, Sarah.

Katie, girl Harrison.

Welcome.

Thanks.

Perish the day I was born,

and the night that was said: A man was conceived!

He is apologizing for his weakness as a preacher.

If he's so bad, then what are you doing there?

He's not really bad, you're proving that he's not proud.

The light shines on her.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Blessed be God and the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Let us pray.

Oh, thank the Lord, for He is good.

For his mercy is eternal,

let his redeemed say it.

Katie, come on, let's miss the bus.

- I will. - What are you doing?

Anything. Anything. Let's go.

You know, the meeting with Dr. Cooper has to be unofficial, that means...

I know what "unofficial" means.

Judge said it was not for me to leave the farm.

Well, I called the judge and got permission.

So...

You talk to me like I'm stupid.

That's not true!

Yes.

But I do not take it personally, because...

I guess you act like you're better than everyone else.

Do not tell me they've never called you in the dark.

Do not. I do not think they ever called me that.

Okay, right, maybe once.

That's what's great about being Amish.

It is sin to want to be better than the next,

and we strive to be equal to the other Amish.

This takes some of the pressure off.

Have you ever been to the city?

Do not.

I think you will be very surprised.

Are you okay?

Yes well.

It's a little different from the farm, huh?

Yes a little.

Ellie, you're fine.

Thanks.

Life on the farm must be doing her good.

Katie, this is Dr. Cooper.

Nice to meet you.

So...

he'll ask you some questions and I'll be waiting outside, okay?

Sit down and make yourself comfortable.

OK.

- What a water, coffee... - Do not.

- Are you sure? - I'm comfortable. Thanks.

Okay. First of all, I want you to know that everything...

what is discussed in this room is right here. OK? It's all confidential.

I'm not going to talk to the police, judge or whatever.

So...

- How it feels? - Good.

So good that I do not need to talk to you.

Well, a lot of people think so.

He was in the hospital recently,

can you tell me why?

Woman problems.

The report says you had a baby.

They're wrong, I did not.

The doctors have a lot of training, do you think they went wrong?

I do not know.

Everyone makes mistakes.

You're right.

Okay. So...

How did you feel before you went to the hospital?

Good. Normal.

Do you have headaches?

Do not.

You lose blocks of time, you know, like when...

he realizes that the hours and minutes have passed,

but do not you remember where you were or what you were doing?

Do not.

And hallucination?

When you see something that you know does not exist.

Do not.

And when do you see your sister?

Did Ellie tell you about Hannah?

Yeah, you and Hannah talk?

Yes.

And how does that make you feel.

I think that's better.

Best. How?

I do not know. If I have a problem, I can talk to her about it...

and I feel better.

What are you talking about?

Several things.

Did you tell him about the baby?

Do not.

What about the...

Samuel, did you tell her she was alive?

I already said that I did not have a baby.

Samuel is your boyfriend, right?

Can you talk about him?

He works at our farm.

I've known him since I was a child.

Are you getting married?

I do not know.

What about sex? Have you had relationships yet?

Do not! Of course not!

"And have you been faithful?" Yes.

Someone else tried...

touch her without your permission?

Do not.

Never.

I know the main theory of murder of newborns...

is that the woman enters a dissociative state.

Right. In order to survive a traumatic situation,

cut part of your consciousness.

Thus, when they are born, they have no emotional connection with the child,

then murder becomes an option.

Okay. So...

the legal defense would be...

the woman was not mentally present at the time...

and therefore is not legally responsible.

"Do you think it will work?" What is it?

Oh, this sculpture.

Hey, I left the TV on, wanna watch it?

Left it on so I can not hear you talking.

Smart girl.

Exactly.

One reason for my insanity defense does not work.

You've always liked a challenge.

Funny. Listen,

is she lying or did she actually have the child and blocked her?

I still do not know.

Is she psychotic?

If your dead sister is ordering you to commit murder, I'd say yes, but...

- And rape? - There's still no way to determine.

Ellie, I really need to see you again.

Okay, great,

You have to come to me,

- Do not. - OK.

This was easy.

"What about your commitments?" Clean everything.

You look like you really want to see me milk a cow.

Perhaps.

And what would your wife say about it?

I know.

We have been divorced for six months.

I'm hungry.

When are we going to have lunch?

Now.

Hi, two big ones, please.

Dr. Cooper likes you.

Sure, we're friends.

I'm not talking like friends, I'm saying he likes you.

Do not be ridiculous.

What made you say that?

The way he looks...

and you for it.

Okay, take it, two big ones.

Take it.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. Okay, this is a hoagie.

- Have you eaten one of these? - Do not.

So you'll enjoy it.

Let's go.

Hey, Paul. "Hey, Munro, your request is already out."

I thought you were on a diet.

I have reached my goal. Do not you see?

Listen,

we can connect this Amish girl to childbirth,

but we can not determine a reason.

Well, 90% of the murders are committed...

by someone with a personal relationship with the victim.

And when it's a newborn, that's almost 100%. So...

I can not argue numbers with a laugh, I need proof.

Then do police work commensurate with your fame.

You're good for the ego, George.

You look like you need some help with that.

I heard that comment.

Oh, no.

Do not.

Mr. Fitch.

Excuse me, sir. Fitch.

I...

I have to prepare for Katie's trial writing many motions and...

the battery of my computer is gone,

- I need to recharge it. - Use pen and paper.

Judgment does not allow this. It has to be typed and printed.

I do not allow electricity in my house.

Your daughter's life is in danger and I need my battery to help her.

Do you care about Katie?

The Amish do not sacrifice their principles because of a person.

It does not matter who that person is.

And I did not like your insinuation that I do not care about my Katie.

Mr. Fitch, I do not think you understand.

What does he not understand?

Bishop, I was explaining to Mr. Fitch...

that my laptop battery has run out and I need to recharge it...

- to do my job. - I do not allow electricity...

- on my property. - Look, Aaron.

He remembers the son of the Bridges who had soul.

He needed his machine. We let it at the time.

"This is not life or death. "Tell Katie that."

See well!

I'm going to let Harrison girl use an inverter...

So the girl can make your computer work.

"You're not understanding." I have decided!

And Aaron.

I think the Lord will understand.

Thank you, Bishop.

The girl set at us,

Do you think we would not do the same?

Do you believe in Katie?

When does she say that she was not alive?

My Katie is a good girl.

Sarah, I know these questions are difficult,

but the public ministry will be much harder.

The more I know, the better I can defend Katie.

Yes.

What about Katie's sister, Hannah?

Did Katie take good care of her?

Hannah was his shadow.

Katie said she died in an accident.

She died of drowning.

Am sorry.

How did Katie respond to this?

She was devastated.

Were you angry at Katie?

Anger would not help Katie.

We preach forgiveness.

So you and Katie plan to get married?

Yes.

We still plan.

You argued...

before the drink is born?

We had little fights.

Discuss es.

Because of what?

Sometimes she would not let me kiss her good night.

Is not this the same as locking the door after the horses have fled?

I noticed your joke.

Katie did not have a baby.

Despite everything the doctors say.

"Katie could not have had a baby. Why not?"

Because...

Because we just did not...

sex.

Samuel, it's because you did not do it, does not mean...

she did not do it with another.

Katie Fitch.

A transgression happened in our community.

Even if we do not believe that there has been any crime...

We are aware...

that our sister, Katie,

committed a carnal sin.

Katie Fitch.

Is this misconduct true?

Yes.

The ancients agree...

that she be banished...

for six weeks so you can think about your sin...

and regret it?

So be it.

It is unanimous.

I can not believe what just happened.

You admit you had sex and a baby, but you deny it to me?

Because this is expected of me, and not because it is true.

Then you let the system make it a doormat.

Do not! I did not let the system work!

I do not want to be right or strong.

I just want to be part of the new community.

It is easier to confess than to fight.

- I do not expect you to understand. - Understand!?

I'm playing the little houses with the Waltons,

a reference you do not even understand.

And I can not get you an honest answer.

- I said. - No!

Do not even think about telling me you told the truth!

Your boyfriend, who is on purpose, is devastated...

s to think that you have been with another,

told me that you never slept together.

Of course not. We are not married. "So now a virgin has given birth."

- I said... - I know, you did not do anything!

You did not have sex or baby!

But your family just buried the baby...

and your church has punished her for her sin!

But you do not give me an honest answer!

How do you expect me to defend you if I do not know what happened?!

I do not know how to help!

I do not know!

Do not know what?

I do not know who it was.

I do not know what you're saying.

I do not remember.

Katie.

Someone raped you?

This is beyond my limits, Cooper.

So you can handle CEOs, but not with an 18-year-old Amish girl?

I yelled at her today.

I never yelled at a client.

Well, it's becoming personal. What is the problem?

All! I will not be able to do my job!

Ellie, do not you think I'm involved with my patients to some degree?

This is different.

It is not. It is human.

Who are you?

I'm Jacob Fitch.

Brother of the katie.

She had no idea Katie had a brother.

Yes they...

do not like to talk about me.

Why not?

I decided to go to college instead of staying on Thursday. But...

the Amish have not yet attained higher education...

they fear that she will be proud.

So, for turning my back on the church, I was excommunicated.

Right. That's one reason...

for the church to reject you, but not the whole family.

Well, my father and I did not agree.

Does he come to terms with anyone?

- You got that, did not you? - Yes.

He not only banished me from the family,

but also prohibited until the mention of my name.

I have not seen my parents for 4 years.

But when I heard about Katie, I had to come.

And your opinion about what you heard?

This whole thing is crazy.

There has to be some kind of big mistake.

Look, you're living in the English world long enough to know...

that his brother would not be on trial for murder, without evidence.

I want to help, but I did not even know she was alive.

You know she even denies it?

Could it be that she was not alive?

Do not. Unless she is the Virgin Mary.

Can you think of someone she had intimacy with?

Your boyfriend, Samuel.

Do not. I talked to him and he denied it and I believe him.

Good...

She used to visit me in college in Harrisburg.

What?

Yes, she would visit me on weekends.

Katie did not tell me that.

She did not say? "Do your parents know that?"

My father did not know it, but my mother did.

She said that Katie was visiting relatives.

Wait. His mother challenged her father and sent her to the city to visit him.

Yes, but only because...

she knew it was the only way Katie could continue to have a brother.

And for now,

I want you to keep it a secret, I just came to visit Katie.

Right. At least I know where she got her life.

Yeah, maybe, but that does not make her a killer.

Perhaps...

she saw what happened to you...

and its ostracism and did not want the same thing to happen...

and would do anything to prevent it.

- Do not. Katie would never go against God. - She visited him!

Yes, to watch TV, wear jeans and eat Chinese food.

When it is simple like them,

gives way to a decision that has already been made,

Submits to a higher authority.

Sacrifice yourself...

for the collective totality,

for the community, for the parents, for God.

This is very beautiful.

But it does not withstand a report of the authenticity of a dead baby.

I think so.

Committing murder is the most arrogant act there is.

It was to be made of God.

The simple ones, like the Amish...

They do not understand how to be selfish, greedy or proud.

This is not part of their nature.

Certainly not enough for them to commit murder.

- Amish faith is not being judged. - Well, you should be!

Because Katie...

I could not have committed a murder, precisely because I am Amish.

Jacob!

Jacob!

Mother and father can hear.

What are you doing here?

I came to see my sister.

And as for the father.

I do not intend to stay.

Katie, what happened?

I do not know.

I'm in the way.

- Are you angry? - Of course not.

- I'm so sorry. - Me too.

Why did not you tell me you had a brother?

Because we do not talk about him, my father does not allow it.

Katie! I do not care what your father allows.

I'm your lawyer, defending her against the charge of murder.

Ever thought your trips to the city were relevant?

- I do not see how. - Stop it!

Stop and be done!

Was it some boy you met in town?

Was that the father of the child?

I do not know his name.

All I know is that he forced me.

Katie, I need you to tell Dr. Cooper what you told me.

"I have a brother named Jacob. Yes, Ellie told me."

I...

I was visiting Jacob in college.

And we went to a Thanksgiving party in one of the houses of a confraternity.

It was crowded with people and...

everyone drank,

I started talking to a boy.

He gave me some punch...

but I think he must have put anything in the drink because I...

I got dizzy and asked to go to bed.

When I realized,

I was undressed and...

I do not even know his name.

She's lying.

She knows when the baby was conceived.

This rape talk does not stick.

A Thanksgiving holiday!

If this fellow of the confraternity had done what she said,

so she would have been pregnant in November, had the baby in June,

two months premature ..

She would have been alive in August. Why do you continue to lie to me?

She knows you're not happy with her,

and only says what you want to hear.

What do I want to hear?!

Yes, she wants your approval, she admires it.

You're lucky to have you by her side.

Dr. Ziegler, are you sure?

Based on my tests, the air reached the baby's lungs.

So what made you stop breathing?

The coroner claims that he was suffocated.

Maybe yes, maybe not.

Continues.

Well, there is some evidence of asphyxia in the lungs,

but this is not conclusive.

AND...

as to the baby's bruised lips,

this may have been caused by pressure against anything.

Not necessarily a stifling blow.

It could be the clavicle of the hand.

I'm just saying that...

there is enough evidence to suggest seeds or... an infection.

So this baby could have died without anyone tricking him?

Of course yes.

Doctor, do you have a blue coat?

- Of course. - Great. You're going to use it in court.

Naughty

Katie.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Ellie?

You think I'm crazy?

Do not.

So why do you mean I am?

I'm just saying...

that you were in a temporary state of mind...

where I did not know what I was doing.

When a cow goes crazy or a lame horse, there is no return.

You are not an animal.

It does not matter.

That's what you're thinking.

I'll be known as crazy forever.

We do not have another option.

Why do not you tell them that I did nothing?

Because I have no backup.

I can tell them.

Testify?

Yes.

Ah, ok.

Katie, do you want to lose?

You are what I call a dubious witness. I can not afford it.

Are you kidding? Or MP would crucify her.

Am sorry.

- Is there another option? - There.

To say that Katie really killed.

To say that she was dissociative at the time and did not realize what she was doing.

Even so, it is a form of insanity.

But I have no choice!

It is difficult to base a case on the testimony of a single expert...

and I think I can do this defense tactic for insanity, to work out.

Okay. So why does it bother you so much?

As well?

Come on, Ellie.

To claim insanity means that it was she who killed...

no matter the state she was in at the time, and deep down,

you think she's innocent.

Am I so transparent?

S for me.

So will you tell me why you got divorced?

- Do you really want to know? - Of course I want!

It was because of the password of your electronic box.

Because? What was the password?

I did not have the slightest idea.

That was the problem.

We've been married for three years...

and one night I needed your password and she did not give it to me.

I could not live with someone who did not trust me.

Got it.

That was the last straw.

So... a few years ago I got a flu.

And my boyfriend of the time,

decided to bring me breakfast to bed.

Brought eggs, toast, full service.

But the coffee!

You put milk and sugar in the coffee...

and all the time we dated, he knew...

that you drink without milk.

Xiii!

You know what's funny in your story?

Referred to him as "My boyfriend of the time."

The poor fellow has no name...

She called him chicken. It's not true!

Yes. You know it is.

Come on, Ellie, after 6 months you pull the car, you're like this.

What are you talking about? I did not do it.

It's true. I earned a full year.

You came here to annoy me, and I'll be honest.

You drink pure coffee.

Ddorme with the light on, because you are afraid of the dark.

Your face turns red when you drink wine.

And you know the lyrics to "Paradise, paradise, born of light".

Ellie, can I ask you a question?

Of course?

Your family? Why do not you talk about them?

Good...

We are not very close, we are...

we're just different, I guess.

Do you know what I noticed when I visited Jacob?

In your world,

people call, email and fax.

Everybody talks...

and always in contact, all this...

modern communication,

"but they all seemed so lonely. Sorry, I'm so clumsy.

Am sorry. "I'm sure you are not."

You can believe, walk and chew gum at the same time, it's difficult for me.

Am sorry. "You can."

What? What is the + iada?

Anything. What.

You are such a م.

Hey, man.

I'm at home.

What's for dinner?

My boy.

You are not welcome here.

Please.

You must think my husband is very strict with the children.

Good...

That got into my head.

It's not Jacob's fault for leaving,

he blames himself...

for not having created it so as to want to stay.

So why did he punish Jacob by banishing him from home?

He is not punishing Jacob.

He is punishing himself.

Aaron gave up the thing he wants most in the world.

Your son.

Holy Bible.

Katie.

Do you know any other lawyer?

As well?

I want to resign.

What?

What about the professional code of ethics?

When we become lawyers, we take an oath...

that we have to abide by.

And he says that I can not resign until I find a suitable replacement.

But since the trial is two days from now, I do not know who we're going to get.

Do you want to resign? I do not understand.

Are you going to tell me who this is?

The truth, Katie.

Your name...

His name is Adam Sinclair, he lived down the hall from my brother's.

Is he the father of the baby?

- Yes. - Yes.

I do not blame you for wanting to leave,

- I lied to him a lot. - Because? Because?

Why did not you tell me!

I do not know. I...

I did not plan anything. In the beginning...

I thought maybe nothing had happened, in fact,

that it was all a nightmare. But then...

the police arrested me and I prayed for God to make everything disappear.

And... I pretended nothing happened.

But you started to believe me, so I...

Does this Adam Adam know you had a baby?

Do not. He moved to Europe to go to graduate school.

Did he even know you were alive?

Did Jacob know?

He did not even know that Adam and I...

Let's go.

We kept this a secret.

Katie, I'm going to ask you this question for the last time. For the last time.

What happened the night you gave birth?

I do not know.

I was instinctive and silly...

and I could not get up, so I went to bed.

And I must have fallen asleep...

because when I woke up,

the baby was gone.

And I thought God had finally heard and taken him back...

and that it was a miracle and the only thing I could do...

was to go back to my room, but I swear, I did not hurt him!

Listen.

You may have hurt him without even realizing it.

- Do not. I could not. - Or went to the stream...

and killed the baby.

I do not know!

Ellie, but it was not me!

When you enter into battle with your enemies,

and come carriages and people more numerous than you,

do not fear them,

for the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt...

is with you.

And as you approach the battle,

a priest will come and speak with the people,

saying, "Hear, O Israel",

you are approaching the battle with your enemies today,

but do not panic or panic.

Katie.

What is happening?

I wanted to apologize.

I know I've lied, but...

I had no intention of hurting anyone.

"I need to tell the truth now." Katie.

I want you to know what really happened.

Katie,

the truth will give you 15 years in prison or life imprisonment.

No one will believe you gave birth,

he fell asleep, woke up, and his baby was gone.

But if I say I've committed murder...

I'll tell you that you were mentally incapable.

But this is a lie!

Ellie.

In my world,

if I make a mistake, admit it and repent, I will be forgiven, but...

if I lie, I will not be welcomed back.

I can not even look at myself.

I'll be completely alone, it would be as if I were dead.

Please!

If I have to go to prison, I prefer it to be for telling the truth.

Always go there and back. This way, during a trial?

- Do not. - Oh.

So that's probably a good sign.

For the first time I care whether I win or lose.

This trial is for the murder of a baby.

So where are you back?

Obviously it can not be that...

sweet girl amish there

hat and apron.

No way she'd hurt a fly, right?

I am sure that all of you have heard the expression,

"We can not judge a book by its cover."

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the key...

this case.

Look, underneath this...

facade innocent,

there is a teenager.

Who left the house in secret,

dressed and went fun like any other teenager.

He met a boy, he was great...

and then lied...

about your pregnancy. That's right.

No soul on this planet knew she was alive.

And when the baby was born...

fearing to be expelled from his family and the church,

suffocated the baby.

So...

do not let the innocent air of the deceit deceive you.

She wants that.

You have hope that you will succeed.

But you're not dumb.

You know it does not matter...

how we were raised or dressed, we are all human.

And s because a person is religious,

does not mean that he is incapable of committing murder.

And that's exactly it...

that Katie Fitch did.

She murdered a baby.

Lawyer.

I wish I could say exactly...

what happened on the night of August 10, on the fifth of the Fitch.

But I can not.

I can not because I was not there.

Mr. Calloway does not either.

Or any of the other witnesses who come...

go through that court.

In fact, there are some days...

I was ready to argue that my client,

Katie Fitch, was not guilty for reasons of temporary insanity.

I had experts ready to testify that...

Katie was not aware of her actions in the morning.

But Katie did not let me do that.

She wanted the truth to be told.

She wanted them to know...

that she was not crazy,

and who actually had the baby,

but that did not kill him.

She wanted to tell the truth even if she went to prison.

So, ask, who killed the child?

First we'll show...

that no one killed her.

He died of natural causes...

and MP can not prove the opposite.

Do you know why it's impossible that Katie killed the baby?

Precisely for the same reason Mr. Calloway mocked her.

She is Amish.

And Amish people are not violent.

They adhere strictly to the teachings of Christ.

In fact, Katie Fitch...

is the first Amish...

of this state, to be accused of murder...

at all times.

Do you know why?

Because the Amish do not commit murders.

Never.

The baby was found wrapped in a cloth...

under some reeds, on the banks of the lagoon.

And what did the coroner find out?

He confirmed that the umbilical cord was cut with scissors.

And where was the scissors?

Aaron Fitch, the father of the defendant,

said that scissors had disappeared from the milking place.

And did you find anything else in the place of milking?

We found a blood-soaked nightgown.

Whose blood was it?

Well, the blood in the nightgown hits the baby's back.

So based on proof, in your opinion as expert,

believe that Katie Fitch committed homicide?

Based on the evidence, yes.

No more questions.

Girl Munro.

Why did you commit murder?

Prevent being banned from the family.

Did Mr. or Mrs. Fitch say they would repudiate Katie?

Do not.

Do not. But do you know what they would have done and how Katie would react?

So you are able to read minds.

Or maybe you have extra-sensory perception.

- Objection! - Retreat.

Detective, if Katie is the killer, then why?

Did you bother to cut the umbilical cord carefully?

I do not know.

Because he took the trouble to clean the baby well...

- and wrap it in a clean cloth? - I do not know, but it happened.

OK.

Then I agree with you,

she hid the pregnancy

and then dragged himself to the pond...

and had the baby.

Why leave the baby in a place...

that she knew, would she be full of people a few hours later?

Maybe he was not thinking clearly.

But you said she acted with premeditation...

and deliberate intent. So how can anyone be...

in a state of confusion and act deliberately at the same time?

- I'm not a psychiatrist. I do not know. - You do not really know.

That's the only thing that made it clear.

- Objection! - No more questions.

You testified that the baby died of suffocation.

Is suffocation the only cause of suffocation?

Do not. But it was the asphyxia and the bruises and fibers found in the baby's mouth...

which led me to the conclusion of homicide.

Yes, the fibers,

they could not be because of the way they were cleaning the baby's mouth to...

- helped him breathe? - Can be.

So, in any of the above situations...

Would you be hurting the baby?

No, I would not be.

Thanks.

Well, based on my tests it looks like the baby had an infection.

Listeriosis. A frequent cause of prenatal death.

One minute, you're saying...

that Katie had an infection and passed it on to the baby?

Exactly.

How dangerous is listeriosis to a baby?

Well, the mortality rate is between 40 and 50% even after treatment.

Probability of mortality of 50% even after treatment?

Yes.

How do you get listeriosis?

Ingestion of contaminated food is the most common mode of transmission.

Mostly non-pasteurized milk.

- Non-pasteurized milk? - Yes.

And get in touch with animals,

increases the risk.

Dr. Ziegler, if I told you...

that Katie Fitch lived in a dairy farm...

milked cows twice a day and drank non-pasteurized milk,

what would you deduce?

That she unknowingly contracted the infection...

and handed it to the baby.

So this baby was dying,

from the moment you were born.

- Objection! - Accept it.

Dr. Ziegler,

in their professional opinion,

Is Katie Fitch responsible for the baby's death?

The medical level,

I think so, she transmitted the infection,

but at the legal level, no.

This is not homicide.

Thanks.

Lawyer?

The defense summons Adam Sinclair.

Objection. This witness is not on my list.

I just found out about your whereabouts.

That's no excuse, it still has to be on the list.

"Girl Harrison, who is he?" The father of the child.

It's fine by me. Objection removed!

So, where is this Mr. Sinclair?

Trust me.

Mr. Sinclair, how did you meet Katie?

I lived on the same floor as my brother,

and we met one afternoon, helping her bring her groceries.

Was he aware that he was Amish?

Yes. Jacob mentioned, but...

she was dressed normally,

and I find her very beautiful.

How did the relationship progress?

Very fast.

I knew it was 4 years older and that your religion would not approve, but...

we are attracted to one another.

So you have become...

- Okay. - Yes.

"Do you love her?" With all your heart.

I still love you.

So why was not he here...

During the pregnancy?

I had gone to study for Spain...

and Katie did not tell me. I had no idea.

What if he had known?

He had caught an airplane,

and would have stayed with her. I got to know a few days ago and I am.

Why do you think Katie did not tell you she was alive?

Fear. Confusion.

Why did your relationship end?

I had my scholarship in Spain...

and girl Harrison, we're in love, but not...

deluded, we knew that the possibility of our relationship succeeded...

- little. - Mr. Sinclair...

Do you think Katie killed the baby?

Not at all.

Why not?

When we love someone, we get to know them and what they are capable of...

and Katie was not capable of murder.

The witness is yours.

You do not really believe that, do you?

It is not an empirical knowledge,

It's not, but girl Harrison asked me for the opinion and I gave it to her.

I would have guessed that Katie was capable of...

to lie?

You're under oath, Mr. Sinclair.

- Depends on the circumstances. - OK.

How about the circumstance of...

pregnancy? Were you surprised to hear that Katie hid the pregnancy from you?

Yes. Yes, I was surprised.

So I do not think you know him as well as I thought.

I'm so sorry.

Me too.

- I could not tell you. - It's not fair.

Katie, I had to make you laugh and feel compassion for you.

I wanted them to see how I would hurt her to see Adam.

I wanted you to see how you loved him.

"Adam was my memory. Only mine. I know that. But, my dear,."

Listen, we had a good day. I think we're winning.

Our professional witness was excellent...

- and got the better of the MP. - That does not matter!

Adam was right. We were never going to work.

Samuel hates me with every reason.

He was my future and I blew it too. I ruined everything that mattered.

I ruined everything I love.

And I'm going to end up in prison!

Alone!

We can...

Can we just get it over with? "Katie, it's only a few more days."

I need you to trust me, okay?

- I can not take it anymore. - Hold on, my dear.

I know it's hard. It's only a few more days.

I can not stand it.

Excuse me.

- Excuse me. - It's all right.

It's all right.

I did not mean it.

Did not intend to do what?

To kill my baby.

Do you know why you're here?

On court?

They think I killed my baby.

And how does that make you feel?

Evil... horrible.

Katie, did you know you were pregnant?

At first I did not believe it, but my clothes...

stopped serving me.

I forced myself not to think about it.

Why did not you tell anyone?

To your parents, to your brother.

I was afraid.

Telling someone would make it real and I pretended it was not real.

Tell me what you remember about the night you gave birth.

Of the pain.

And how cold it was.

And the grass to rip my skin.

Do you remember the baby?

Yes.

He was beautiful.

His hands were so small.

I wanted to take him to my mother,

But I fell asleep before I could get up.

So, you passed out?

- Yes. - OK.

And then?

I woke up and the baby was gone.

Remember to have taken him somewhere?

Do not.

So what do you think happened?

I did not know what to think.

I had just woken up and tried to find him.

But I was so tired and...

I do not know, I was not sure...

if everything had even happened,

I thought maybe...

it had all been a dream.

The witness is yours.

So you did not tell...

To nobody...

that was great.

Do not.

So he lied.

Do not. They did not ask.

Do not be naive, Fitch.

You...

concealed and retained the truth, this is not...

"Is not that true?" - Yes.

Is not this a form of lying?

I think so. Yes.

And he lied to the police that he did not have the baby.

Yes.

So why should we believe in you?

Because I'm telling the truth.

- I do not want to lie anymore. - OK.

Then tell us what happened to the baby.

I killed him.

Did you kill your baby?!

Yes.

Girl, are you aware of what you're saying?

Yes.

Could you repeat for the cars?

I killed my baby.

Katie, why are you confessing now?

"I just want you to forgive me." Who?

My family, my church.

You realize that...

This is a court and not a church.

I will not ban you for 6 weeks.

He has been sent to prison for many years.

Was inadvertently. But it was not my intention. Why do not they notice?

As well. Was not it your intention?

That sickness. I did not intend to transmit it.

Katie, tell j laugh how you think you killed the baby.

You heard the doctor, he said...

he said that I killed him with the infection.

If I were not the mother,

My baby would be alive.

So you killed your baby...

when passing an infection...

from your body to his.

Yes.

Is that what you meant when you said you killed your baby?

Yes.

And why is it so important for you to tell this to your child?

Because I'm responsible.

The death of the baby is my fault and no one else's fault.

I wanted to confess...

because I have to be punished.

No more questions.

Call your next witness.

The defense ended.

How long does j laugh generally?

Maybe 5 hours or maybe...

5 weeks.

So, after it's all over, what are you going to do?

I do not know. You know... I could...

go back to a large law firm or open mine.

Ellie, I was not talking about it.

I was talking about personal things like,

maybe you and me?

Do not.

Not at all.

I mean, I will not even date,

unless you know the Multibanco password first.

51458 - Okay.

Please, get up.

Before the judge's representative read the verdict,

I want you to know that you did not make the decision easily.

They consulted me...

and made a lot of effort to reach that decision.

In the case of the State of Pennsylvania versus Katie Fitch.

The j...

guilty.

However,

we consider her not guilty of murder in the first degree.

But of homicide by negligence.

What does that mean? Is it good or bad?

Very good.

We had a reasonable life in relation to the murder charge...

but we think the defendant was negligent...

for failing to seek medical treatment during her pregnancy.

The court thanks the judge for his services.

Normally, a hearing for a sentence would be made at another time.

But I am prepared to pursue this subject now.

Merit, you're setting a precedent by not letting me propose...

my own sentence recommendation.

I am sentencing your client to three years of home confinement,

but without supervision,

That means, Miss Harrison,

who can leave the fifth. Approve the sentence?

Yes, merit, thank you.

That's what I thought. Trial concluded.

That means?

That goes home.

Sometimes I wanted you to stay here on Thursday.

I've always wanted a younger sister.

Someone to whom to give orders, you mean.

And brother was not made for it?

Well, I'm a volunteer.

There's one other thing I lied about.

Oh, no, Katie, what?

The hoagies,

I had already eaten one with Jacob.

You were so excited, I did not want to disappoint you.

- Became angry? - Do not. I was not.

I will miss you so much.

I'm definitely going.

Thanks for everything.

Need help?

In fact, I almost finished everything.

Thanks.

Ellie, I want to thank you.

You brought my Katie back home to me and...

for this reason, you will always be special.

I think I got a little bit of it out of it, too.

I could not bear to lose another child.

You do not have to worry about that anymore.

Do not.

I want you to stay...

with this.

Sarah,

you do not have to give me anything.

I think you should take her away.

It was I who sent Katie to the English world to see her brother.

I saw her body change and she knew...

that she was alive.

And so I listened every night and waited.

I just wanted Katie...

had the life I knew she wanted, here with us.

Your father would never have accepted that child,

he renounced Jacob for less.

You see, do not you, Ellie?

I lost Hannah and Jacob.

She could not risk losing Katie,

she was all I had left.

I hope you can forgive me.

Has he said goodbye to everyone, Ellie?

Yes.

- Let's go. - OK.

Naughty
