[Joseph] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

‐[horse neighs] ‐[indistinct chatter]

Two pounds of buckwheat, a pound of the unbleached, and that's all.

‐Yes, Father. ‐And don't dawdle, we won't be here long.

Yes, Father.

[bell rings]

[shuddering breaths]

[gasps]

[theme music playing]

[theme music ends]

‐[fax machine beeping] ‐[indistinct chatter]

Kenny, how is she?

She's still in with Dr. Diamond.

‐Did she see the guy that did it? ‐She hasn't said anything yet.

She's pretty shook up, Jimmy.

Her father and brother brought her in.

They didn't see anything.

They're Amish?

Jimmy.

I'll be with you in one moment. She's resting.

She's in shock.

I've given her a mild sedative.

‐Rape? ‐There's definite signs of forced penetration.

It'll be an hour or so before we get the results of the pelvic exam.

‐Battery? ‐Got a nice little bump in the head,

some contusions, abrasions.

‐Can I talk to her? ‐Okay, but let's keep it brief.

Hannah?

Hannah, this is Sheriff Brock. He needs to ask you a few questions, okay?

‐I'm here to help. ‐[monitor beeping]

I need to know, did you see the man who did this?

Hannah.

Hannah.

You did.

Okay.

Do you think you could recognize this person if you saw him again?

Give me a description.

I know who it is.

He works at the hardware store.

‐[camera shutters clicking] ‐I didn't do anything.

Save it, pal. Come on.

He was at home watching Letterman. Can you believe that?

I ran his sheet.

Eugene Stoltz, 25.

Two prior arrests for sexual assault in Green Bay.

One conviction.

‐Jimmy. ‐Walter, is this your nephew?

‐Are you sure you're not mistaken? ‐No.

Uh, the victim...

said it was a young man who worked in your store.

Gave me an accurate description, Walter.

Can you account for his...

whereabouts between 7:00 and 7:30 this evening?

Jimmy, I knew he'd had some trouble with the law,

but... I never thought it was this kind of thing.

My sister, that husband of hers,

it never was a good situation.

I just thought that he needed a break.

Put him to work with me in the store to try and help straighten him out.

He's been with me for eight months,

and he hasn't been a problem of any kind.

[indistinct chatter]

‐[sighs] ‐Until this.

Can I see him?

They got it all wrong.

So what happened?

Is it true? Did you hurt that girl?

I didn't do anything.

‐[woman announcing over PA] ‐[phone ringing]

What happened? Where is Hannah? Is she all right?

She is all right, Mother. Come here and sit down.

‐I want to see her. ‐Mother. Mother.

Doctor, is it going to be much longer?

Look, I think she's going to be all right, but I want to keep her overnight

‐for an observation. ‐No!

Hannah's exhausted, Doctor. She needs rest.

My wife's anxious to take her home.

‐What is it? ‐Look, I understand, but it's late.

The best thing for Hannah right now is for her to stay right where she is,

and you can come by first thing in the morning, pick her up.

Joseph, what is it? Is there a problem?

It's all right, Mother.

I'm sorry, but I must insist.

My wife has brought some clothes for her to change into.

I hear your concern, Mr. Beiler,

but I would feel much more comfortable if she stayed overnight,

just to make sure she's all right.

There is no reason for you to keep her here.

If there is no medical emergency, we will take her home.

Please, Doctor.

We're all very tired.

All right.

Just bring her back if there's any change in her condition.

I can't believe that Walter Mott would let a rapist live in this town

‐without telling you about it. ‐He didn't know.

‐That could have been Kimberly last night. ‐Honey,

he was just trying to help his nephew out, that's all.

Is this Amish girl gonna be all right?

Yeah, I think, uh... I think she'll be fine.

‐You know what they call the Amish at school? ‐What?

‐Dumb Dutchmen. ‐Zack!

‐Hey. ‐What?

‐Well, they do. ‐You don't call them that, do you?

No, but they are kind of weird.

‐[phone ringing] ‐I mean, they don't even use electricity.

Well, Zack, the Amish people believe in simplicity.

‐They think it brings them closer to God. ‐[phone ringing]

[Jimmy] Hello.

I thought we were close to God.

They're closer.

[Jimmy] What?

It's complicated, Zack.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Uh...

The Amish...

They're not gonna press charges.

We forgive him.

Forgive him?

We pray he can turn his life around.

Obviously, he's a very troubled young man.

Mr. Beiler, he brutally assaulted your daughter.

I don't need to be reminded, Sheriff.

The guy deserves to be thrown in jail.

Our community does not believe in vengeance, Deputy.

We condemn the sin, not the sinner.

Is that how you feel?

It is not Hannah's decision.

What do you mean "it's not her decision"?

She's the one that got raped.

‐[Jimmy] Kenny. ‐[Eli] We decide things

through the council of elders.

We will not pursue this matter through your courts.

I can't believe this is what you want.

The council had made its decision.

‐I will abide by it. ‐[Jimmy] Hannah, maybe...

maybe, maybe you don't understand.

We need Hannah's testimony to convict Stoltz.

Without it, he's gonna walk free tomorrow.

We do understand, Sheriff.

Then how can you take this position?

For the same reason we choose to live apart.

We abide by God's laws, not yours.

Christ teaches us to turn the other cheek.

This rapist

presents a risk to everyone who lives around here.

Don't you feel some obligation to them?

Our obligation is to God.

Come.

[indistinct chatter]

Mr. Beiler, I can subpoena Hannah, force her to comply.

If necessary, have her thrown in jail for contempt.

You do what you have to do, Sheriff,

and we will do the same.

[Laurie's Interpreter] You're letting him go?

Without charging him, I can only hold him 48 hours.

[Laurie's Interpreter] I'm already getting phone calls.

How can this city release a known sex offender.

You're my legal advisor. Advise me.

No testimony, no case.

She's the only eyewitness.

What about physical evidence? DNA?

There's no DNA. The rapist evidently ejaculated outside the woman's body,

and the father must have cleaned it up.

That's Carter's report.

I can't believe she won't testify.

The Amish don't believe in our court system.

They're forbidden to file a legal suit or even take the oath.

Yes, but this was one of their own who was attacked.

If you put Hannah Beiler on the stand

and she refuses to testify,

there'll be no choice for the judge other than to throw her in jail.

Now, you wouldn't want that.

Victimizing the victim could have political fallout.

All right, look, I don't care about the fallout.

We have a responsibility to the community here.

[Douglas] Well, we could try a John Doe hearing.

‐[Laurie's Interpreter] John Doe? ‐Yes, it's a closed session

with Hannah, the judge, and the DA.

Under these circumstances, she might be comfortable testifying.

Now, whatever Hannah says could be admissible in trial

even if she doesn't cooperate later in open court.

But we got to be willing to go all the way. She doesn't talk, she goes to jail.

I'll talk to the DA.

[indistinct chatter]

I respectfully decline to answer.

Do you understand the question?

Yes, Your Honor.

But you refuse to answer?

Yes, Your Honor.

Young lady, we've called you here today

because you are the victim of a crime.

Without your testimony, it will be very difficult for us

to prosecute the man who did this to you.

I urge you to cooperate with this court.

Repeat the question, please.

Ms. Beiler,

was Eugene Stoltz the man who raped you

on the night of March 24th?

Ms. Beiler,

you are being asked

about a crime of which you have direct knowledge.

I'm ordering you to answer the question.

Let me remind you that I can put you in jail if you refuse to answer.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

But you still refuse to cooperate.

My religious convictions prevent me from testifying.

[Judge Bone] Counsel...

‐clearly, she's not going to testify. ‐No, Your Honor.

Your Honor, under the circumstances, I see no other alternative

other than incarceration for contempt.

Oh! You don't, do you?

Well, she has defied a court order.

Yeah. Pretty gutsy, wouldn't you say?

‐Your Honor‐‐ ‐[Judge Bone] I'm gonna try a different approach.

Step back.

‐But, Your Honor‐‐ ‐Step back.

Young lady,

you have direct knowledge

and you were the direct victim.

But you must understand that the state also has its own interest to serve.

In six hours,

the sheriff will be forced

to release Eugene Stoltz from custody.

I want you to think about that.

A known criminal will be back on the streets

because of your refusal to testify.

Now, I respect your religious convictions.

I must ask you to respect the welfare of this community

of which you are a part.

I could have you incarcerated until such time as of which you choose to cooperate,

but I'm not gonna do that.

Instead,

out of regard for both your suffering and your courage,

I'm asking you to go home

and reconsider your position.

[people murmuring]

[Kenny] You're not coming back, are you, Hannah?

Are you just gonna forget what Stoltz did to you?

Not forget, forgive.

He's not gonna change, Hannah.

Guys like that just keep doing what they're doing until they get caught.

[Hannah exhales sharply]

If you're not gonna testify for yourself,

what about the other girls out there that might be next?

‐It's not that easy. ‐Look, you're 18.

You're old enough to make your own decisions.

Why do you let them control you like that?

‐I mean, you're the one that was raped. ‐Yes.

Me. I was raped.

Why do you care? You don't even know me.

I was at the hospital when they brought you in.

I held your hands for the first 20 minutes.

I do care.

All you care about is putting that man in jail.

You look at me right in the eye and you tell me

that you don't want that guy nailed as bad as I do.

[Joseph] Hannah?

Please, leave us alone.

‐[fax machine beeping] ‐[indistinct chatter]

Hey, you're just lucky the guy didn't punch you out.

They're non‐violent, remember?

I'm not a social worker, Kenny.

She's 18. Forget about it.

I just don't buy that Hannah's okay with it.

Kenny, you honestly expected her to go against the wishes of her people?

What about her wishes?

Community is everything to the Amish.

To defy a decision by the council of elders

is unthinkable.

I don't get these people.

Well, it's simple. They... They believe they're living the word of God.

"Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy."

They have virtually no crime. Families stick together.

‐They live lives of beautiful simplicity. ‐Yeah.

And in the meantime, the rapist goes free.

Let me ask you something. Why are you interested?

It's personal.

She wants to testify, Carter. I know it.

Well, then she must be feeling deeply conflicted, Kenny.

I don't think you're helping her any.

[indistinct chatter]

[crickets chirping]

‐Amen. ‐[others] Amen.

No, thank you.

‐You're not eating? ‐I'm not hungry.

Hannah?

You must trust the ruling of the council.

I know.

[Marta] You may not feel it yet in your heart,

but in time, you will learn the wisdom of the decision.

This man, Stoltz, is not of our world.

He is of their world,

and they will deal with him as they see fit.

It is easy to hate, Hannah.

We are asked to take a higher road.

I say unto you, love your enemies.

Bless them that curse you.

Do good to them that hate you.

And pray for them which spitefully use you and persecute you.

Be ye therefore perfect as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect.

I am not perfect, Father.

[Marta] Hannah!

‐Hannah, come back. ‐[Joseph] Let her go, Marta.

[door closes]

We must be understanding.

‐[machine whirring] ‐[keys clinking]

I wouldn't be taking any long trips.

[sighs]

He can still be charged, Walter.

All this means is that we can't hold him any longer.

‐I'll get him counseling, Jimmy. ‐Okay.

Keep a close eye on him.

[thud]

[Kenny] Check the closet.

What... What'd he do?

Would you please tell m what did he do?

Another assault. Peggy Patterson. 16. This time no witnesses.

God!

Have any idea where he would have gone?

‐No. No... ‐No?

I... Since it's first happened, I haven't had him working in the store with me.

I mean, he just sits in front of the TV.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with him.

Did he have an access to a car, sir?

‐Not that I know of. ‐Listen, he tries to call you,

you get any ideas, you call us, you got it?

Absolutely!

[indistinct chatter]

‐Hey. ‐Hey.

How's she doing?

I've treated her for contusions and lacerations.

I've put five sutures in her head.

‐She's had a really rough time. ‐Oh, damn.

‐Broad daylight. Like he wants to get caught. ‐Maybe he does.

[sighs] Where's Patterson? Is he okay?

He's over there.

‐Joanna? ‐[indistinct chatter]

I know. Thanks.

We'll get through this.

‐Dan, how are you doing? ‐How do you think I'm doing?

We're doing everything we can to catch him, Dan, I assure you.

Well, it's a little late. Isn't it, Jimmy?

You had him in your custody.

You had him behind bars and you let him go.

[indistinct chatter]

‐[fax machine beeping] ‐Okay, listen up.

Walter Mott says he's missing a .38 revolver,

so we assume Stoltz is armed and dangerous.

Now, if you spot him, you call for backup. No heroes here.

He's on foot, so that should make our job easier.

‐Kenny? ‐We got a 24‐hour stakeout on Motts' place.

Assignments are posted. Pete, you work on public transportation,

check with cabbies, bus drivers.

The rest of you, canvass your patrol areas.

We're talking about motels, taverns, coffee shops, gas stations,

any place Stoltz might have gone for cover.

I want him found, you understand? Go out there and get him.

‐Hurry. ‐[woman] Okay.

Oh, Laurie,

I told you whenever I had some information,

I would give it to you.

I have information for you.

Dan Patterson?

He's suing the Amish.

[Franklin] Although the Sheriff's Department released Stoltz just last week,

our investigation shows that he had no choice in the matter.

Rather, we trace direct responsibility

to Hannah Beiler's refusal to testify.

Now, if the Amish had chosen to cooperate with the sheriff,

Eugene Stoltz would be behind bars right now,

not out stalking the women of Rome at this very moment.

The Amish have failed in their civic duty.

Peggy Patterson paid the price.

Therefore, we are seeking monetary damages in the amount of $300,000.

[knock on door]

[Douglas] Come in.

Mr. Wambaugh.

Yes.

You gave me quite a start there.

For a minute, I thought the Hasidim were in town.

[laughs] It's a joke.

Now, now, now, sit down. Sit down.

What can I do for you?

We need a lawyer.

[Douglas] Your Honor, I move for immediate dismissal of all claims.

To allege that this young woman

is somehow legally responsible for the rape of Peggy Patterson

‐is preposterous. ‐Your Honor,

the police allege that Hannah Beiler

identified Eugene Stoltz as her assailant.

The court told Ms. Beiler that her testimony was essential,

otherwise Stoltz, a convicted rapist,

would have to be put back on the street

where he was likely to rape again,

and still she refused to testify.

The tragic results of her actions were entirely foreseeable,

and the Pattersons should be able to hold her legally liable.

[Douglas] Baloney.

The plaintiffs have no standing whatsoever to sue my client.

I don't know what planet Mr. Dell got his law degree from,

but in this country an innocent person

has no duty to report a crime.

This court ordered Ms. Beiler to testify, Judge.

By refusing to comply, she violated her legal duty

to the people of the state of Wisconsin.

The plaintiffs are citizens of this state.

They are the people of Wisconsin.

Hannah Beiler's open refusal to testify

knowing the foreseeable consequences

constitutes negligence

for which the plaintiffs are entitled to money damage.

‐[Douglas] Because they're Amish, isn't it? ‐Excuse me?

They make easy targets because they dress funny.

‐Wambaugh. ‐My people know a little bit

about religious persecution, Judge,

and I can recognize it when I see it.

‐Your Honor‐‐ ‐Oh, the plaintiffs are angry

‐and they're looking for a scapegoat. ‐Hey!

You wanna blame somebody, blame Eugene Stoltz.

Don't take it out on this young woman

because she chooses to follow her religion much different from yours.

[scoffs] No one here

is indicting the Amish way of life.

‐Ha! ‐Quiet.

I've heard enough from both sides.

And after weighing the arguments,

I believe Mr. Dell has an intriguing point.

‐Your Honor. ‐[Judge Bone] Shut up.

As a matter of law,

one could argue there was duty involved, Mr. Wambaugh.

Accordingly, I'm ruling plaintiffs have established a cause of action,

and that this case can go before a jury.

Trial will begin at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

‐[bangs gavel] ‐What does this mean?

It just means we come back to fight another day.

That's all. Don't worry.

[Joseph] We'll wait for you outside, honey.

[indistinct chatter]

[Kenny] Hannah.

It's all because of me, isn't it?

No.

It's all because of one very sick individual

named Eugene Stoltz.

But I could have stopped him.

If this is God's plan,

I have trouble saying it.

Who says this is God's plan?

Some things just happen.

[sighs]

Jesus says to forgive.

And I have...

tried to forgive.

But I feel no forgiveness in my heart for that man.

[inhales sharply] He has made me afraid...

of the dark, of being alone, of going to sleep.

[shudders] I have dreams...

horrible dreams.

But worst of all, I feel ashamed.

I've dishonored my family.

Here.

Hannah...

this wasn't your fault.

‐The feelings you're having, they're normal. ‐[inhales sharply]

My sister was raped a few years ago.

‐They never found the guy. ‐[sniffles]

She went through everything you're going through,

and she's doing okay.

Next week I'm to take my baptism of house.

[Kenny] You weren't baptized?

In our faith, we have believer's baptism.

One must be an adult to make a declaration of belief.

But now I'm not sure what I believe.

How can I go through with it when I feel the way I do?

I don't know much about your faith.

But where I come from,

there's no sin in questioning.

[sniffles] I could lose everything.

[inhales sharply, exhales]

We must ask you to refrain from employing further vindictiveness in court.

Vindictiveness?

You asked the Pattersons to blame Eugene Stoltz for their troubles.

It is not our desire to pass judgment.

Gentlemen, you hired me to represent you.

‐I'll do everything in power to win. ‐No.

‐What "no"? ‐There are limits.

We must be true to our beliefs.

You're the outsiders here, Eli.

The jury will identify with the Pattersons.

No.

You must maintain an even temper.

I haven't maintained an even temper throughout my entire life.

Start.

[indistinct chatter]

[Peggy] I asked him to stop.

I begged him to stop.

I told him that I was a virgin.

[sobs]

But...

[Franklin] Take your time.

It hurt. [sniffles]

I closed my eyes.

I don't know how long.

When I opened them, he was gone.

[sniffles]

After a while, I could stand up.

I started walking to the street.

The next thing I knew, I was at the hospital.

[Franklin] Thank you, Peggy.

Your witness.

No questions, Your Honor.

And what did the DNA analysis reveal, Dr. Pike?

The semen recovered from Ms. Patterson match that of the suspect.

‐And you were able to obtain a fingerprint? ‐Objection.

‐The witness is not competent. ‐[clears throat]

Withdrawn.

[Franklin] Dr. Pike?

Yes, we obtained a print of Ms. Patterson's purse

that match the suspect.

[Franklin] Did you tell Hannah Beiler

and the representatives of the Amish community

that Eugene Stoltz presented a risk to the community at large?

In so many words, yes.

What else did you tell them?

That I thought they had an obligation to cooperate.

‐What did they say to that? ‐They said their obligation was to God.

I pointed out that Hannah

had a legal responsibility to testify.

And what was their response?

They said to do what I had to do,

they would do what they had to do.

Thank you, Sheriff Brock.

Your witness.

No questions, Your Honor.

[people murmuring]

[indistinct chatter]

[Douglas] Mr. Beiler,

in addition to being Hannah Beiler's father,

you're an Amish elder with a special knowledge

of the church, am I right?

Yes, that is correct.

You pay taxes to the city of Rome, do you not?

Yes.

So you acknowledge some obligation

to the community at large?

Yes, we believe in paying for what we use.

[Douglas] And you pay federal taxes as well?

Except for Social Security.

Ooh... [chuckles] ...why is that?

We choose to live as we believe God intends.

And America gives you the freedom to live the way you choose.

Isn't that correct?

Yes, our ancestors came here because of that.

So you're grateful to the United States

and the state of Wisconsin in particular

for providing the freedoms you enjoy?

Very much so, yes.

And yet, when presented the opportunity

to participate in a criminal investigation,

you advised Hannah Beiler not to testify.

Now, why is that?

Our faith forbids us to participate in most legal matters,

except when it involves infringement of our religious freedoms.

[Douglas] But what about retribution?

[Joseph] We do not seek retribution.

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

All right, then.

How about justice?

Justice means different things to different people.

We believe the ways of God are just.

Our faith tells us to pray for the soul of Eugene Stoltz,

that he might find redemption.

[Douglas] Okay.

But what about the rest of us?

You were told that Stoltz might strike again.

Now, couldn't you have bent your rules this one time

so Hannah could have testified to keep him incarcerated?

No.

We must trust God's plan,

even when it is hard to accept.

Especially when it is hard to accept.

[Douglas] Thank you.

Right. Okay. Mr. Beiler, speaking hypothetically now,

let's say that there was a band of armed men headed toward your community.

Now, you'd expect the Sheriff's Department

to protect you, wouldn't you?

‐No. ‐[Franklin] Oh, come on, Mr. Beiler.

You wouldn't want the sheriff to ride on out there and help you out?

‐Objection. He already answered the question. ‐[Judge Bone] Sustained.

All right, let me put it another way.

You wouldn't refuse the sheriff's help, would you?

In the case which you described, probably not.

[Franklin] Probably not.

All right, let's take another situation.

Let's say that there's a... a medical emergency.

Let's say that a member of your community

stabs a pitchfork right through his leg,

you wouldn't refuse an ambulance, would you?

‐No. ‐No.

In fact, city of Rome, state of Wisconsin

provide many services which your community enjoys.

‐Isn't that true? ‐Yes.

And yet, you feel no reciprocal obligation, do you?

I don't understand the question.

What I mean is, you people are willing to take

‐but you don't give back. ‐[Douglas] Objection.

‐Mr. Dell. ‐Withdrawn.

[Kenny] Okay, thank you, ma'am.

Another hot tip from the Senior Citizen's Neighborhood Watch

Lady said, she just saw Stoltz three minutes ago at 3rd Maple.

Yeah, right. Like that sardine who said Stoltz is hiding in a clothes dryer.

‐Let's check it out. ‐Oh, loco.

‐Sitting around here is driving me nuts. ‐Why don't you go visit Max?

I already did that this morning. Come on, let's work off some of that winter fat.

Fat? What fat?

Ladies and gentlemen, at the heart of this suit,

is a profound question, that question is,

can we allow a person or a group, any group,

to ignore its legal responsibility

to the larger society of which they are a part?

Truth is, the Amish do not care about your world.

In fact, their religion is based on a complete rejection of your world.

Hannah Beiler was compelled by her elders

to defy the orders of this court.

And her defiance has sent out a powerful message.

And that message is that it is somehow justifiable

for one community to turn a blind eye against the needs of another,

even when those needs concern the physical safety

of the citizens of both communities.

But the time has come to say that there is no justification

for such an isolation, religious or otherwise.

It's time to say, that no belief system can take

precedence over the laws of this state.

Hannah Beiler defied the law when she wouldn't testify,

and negligently, put Eugene Stoltz back on the street

where he brutally raped Peggy Patterson.

The Amish elders could have prevented this.

They had a choice,

and they chose to do nothing

because they don't want to get involved in your world.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, you, too, have a choice.

Thank you.

At first, you may not have understood the Amish position on this case.

Even I had trouble understanding how an innocent, young woman

could refuse to testify against her own assailant.

But the explanation is simple,

as simple as the Amish way of life itself.

You heard Joseph Beiler say it.

These people live their faith.

They live it,

and everything in the Amish community

is consistent with that faith,

from not accepting Social Security

to not testifying in court.

Is such a life easy? Hardly.

Do you think...

that it was easy for Joseph Beiler

to forgive the man who raped his daughter?

Do you think

that he loves his children any less than you love yours?

This is faith, ladies and gentlemen,

faith such as I have rarely encountered.

Rather than condemn it or be afraid of it,

we should seek to learn from it.

[cop] I'm telling you, Lacos, this is a dead end.

That Noring Wilson, she calls the station every couple of days,

‐when she gets lonely. ‐[Kenny] Yeah, yeah.

[cop] I remember last year, she, uh, had us come out‐‐

‐[Kenny] There he is. ‐What?

Right there.

[tires squeal]

[cop] Keep going, keep going.

[Kenny] 3‐38, we're pursuing the suspect

heading north on Maple towards Crest,

request backup.

There he is. Stop the car! Stop the car!

‐[police siren wailing] ‐[tires screeching]

‐I'm my foot. ‐Yeah, I'll go round back to the alley.

[panting]

Madam Foreperson, has the jury reached a verdict?

‐[Foreperson] We have, Your Honor. ‐[Judge Bone] What say you?

[Foreperson] In the matter of Patterson v. Hannah Beiler

and the council of elders,

we the jury rule for the defendants,

and direct that the plaintiff take nothing.

[people murmuring]

Members of the jury, this completes your service.

Thank you.

‐This matter is adjourned. ‐[bangs gavel]

[indistinct chatter]

God bless. Thank you. Thank you.

[police siren wailing]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

‐[panting] ‐[police siren wailing]

See you.

[police siren wailing]

Freeze!

Forgive me.

[Kenny] Drop the gun!

I said, drop it!

‐[gunshot] ‐[gasps]

[groans]

[people murmuring]

[radio chatter]

[man] Keep this area clear.

‐[radio chatter] ‐[indistinct conversation]

[Eugene choking]

[man] Hannah... Hannah, come on.

[Bishop] Brothers and sisters,

we are here to celebrate

the baptism of Hannah Mary Beiler.

Let us remember,

that the vow she's about the make is not to the ministers

or to the church,

but to God.

Hannah Mary Beiler,

please kneel if it is still your desire

to become a member of the Body of Christ.

[chanting prayer in Swiss German]

In the name of the Lord and the church,

we extend to you the hand of fellowship.

Rise up.
