Short filmTranscript
00:02Sorry to interrupt. You boys need anything else?
00:05No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
00:11I suppose you're entitled to your own opinion.
00:13But you are wrong.
00:36Oh my gosh, blood. Blood!
01:09The End
01:29What seemed like just another ordinary day in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, turned
01:36out to be anything but, when Karen Huang woke up to the news that her boyfriend of six
01:42months had suddenly gone missing.
01:54Morning, Naomi.
01:55Good morning, Cheryl.
01:57Esther, Elizabeth, what brings you in today?
02:00Oh, it's awful.
02:01Oh, the Ashes boy, Jonas, has been diagnosed with diabetes.
02:07Elizabeth and I are planning a fundraiser for them.
02:10Don't they have insurance?
02:11Amish do not need insurance.
02:14We take care of each other.
02:16But how?
02:17Medical costs can be expensive.
02:19Well, there is a fund for unexpected medical needs, and we will collect donations at the
02:24fundraiser.
02:25What if that's not enough?
02:27We will have faith.
02:29Well, let me know what I can do to help.
02:31Thank you, Cheryl.
02:32I'm sure there's something.
02:33Right, ma'am?
02:34We will see.
02:35Lydia!
02:36Hey, girl.
02:37Cheryl?
02:38This is Lydia Troyer, my very best friend.
02:41Hello, Miss Cooper.
02:42I appreciate you giving me this opportunity.
02:44Oh, it's just Cheryl.
02:45And you're welcome.
02:46Bye, Mrs. Miller.
02:48Elizabeth?
02:49Hello, Lydia.
02:52Well, Elizabeth and I must go.
02:54Goodbye now.
02:56Bye.
02:56See you later.
02:58Esther, could you keep working on the inventory?
03:00Mm-hmm.
03:02Okay, Lydia.
03:03Let's start your training.
03:05All right, so you put in the amount, print.
03:12Give it a try.
03:20Nice.
03:26While you're on Rum Spring, other rules don't apply.
03:28You can basically do whatever you want.
03:30Well, if Esther's on Rum Spring, then why can't she have a phone?
03:33That's a whole other story.
03:35But don't worry, I'll turn mine off while I'm working.
03:37I appreciate that.
03:41What?
03:43That's weird.
03:44What is it?
03:45My cousin has been missing for three years.
03:48Is that from him?
03:49I don't know who it's from, but someone knows what happened to Mark.
03:53Maybe the police can trace the number.
03:54I don't think that's a good idea.
03:58One more time.
04:11Hey, Cheryl.
04:13Hi.
04:13What can I get you?
04:14Uh, chicken salad, please.
04:16You got it.
04:17Kathy?
04:18Mm-hmm.
04:19You know pretty much everybody in Sugar Creek, right?
04:21Most everyone.
04:23Lydia Troyer just started working for me.
04:25What about her cousin, Mark?
04:27Did you know him?
04:29Mark Troyer.
04:34He was the most popular guy in town.
04:37All the girls were crazy about him.
04:40It didn't matter if they were Amish or English.
04:43He stopped wearing Amish clothes, and he drove a little sports car.
04:47Didn't try to hide it from anyone.
04:50So, what happened to him?
04:52No one knows, but the night Mark disappeared, I found his shirt in the dumpster, covered in blood.
05:00Blood?
05:02You think he was murdered?
05:04I don't know.
05:06The police found his car at the bus station.
05:08Now, the official statement says that he ran away like a lot of the Amish kids do.
05:13But what about the bloody shirt?
05:15I gave it to the police, and heard nothing else about it.
05:19Interesting.
05:21I'll get those started for you.
05:22Thanks.
05:30Hey, Renee.
05:31Can I please speak to Chief Churchill?
05:33Hi, Cheryl.
05:34I think he's busy right now.
05:36Ortega.
05:37Can you put a pot of coffee on?
05:39Hi.
05:43Oh, hi, Cheryl.
05:45Chief, can we talk?
05:48Follow me.
05:53Lydia Troyer got a text from an unknown number saying they know where her cousin Mark is.
05:58I know you're new here, but we already know what happened to him.
06:01He ran off like Amish kids do on one spring.
06:04What about the bloody shirt?
06:05I don't know why I'm telling you this, but there's a lot more evidence to suggest that
06:10the Troyer kid left town than any sort of foul play.
06:12So you tested the blood on Mark's shirt?
06:14Look, he was 18.
06:17Legally, he can leave town.
06:19He doesn't have to tell anyone, not even his family.
06:21Wait.
06:21You're not even going to trace the number?
06:23No need to.
06:25That was done three years ago.
06:27Oh.
06:28You have been just as helpful as always.
06:32Excuse me.
06:34Someone make coffee?
06:37I'll see.
06:43Hey, Renee.
06:45Can you give me the file on Mark Troyer?
06:48Sure.
06:51Let's keep this between us, okay?
06:53Okay.
06:54I'll get right on them.
06:56Cool.
06:57Thanks.
06:58Thanks.
07:09Thanks for coming to meet Mark's parents.
07:20Lydia, what a surprise.
07:22Hiya, Joanna.
07:23This is my friend Cheryl.
07:24Hello.
07:25She wants to ask you some questions.
07:27About Mark.
07:31Come in.
07:32Thanks.
07:38Naomi speaks so highly of you.
07:40She says,
07:41Scott has given you a gift.
07:43The way you helped find the Schwartz's baby
07:45and solve those robberies.
07:47Well, that was very kind of her.
07:50Mrs. Troyer, Lydia told me about Mark.
07:53I'd like to try to help you find your son.
07:56This is my daughter, Matilda.
07:59Hi, Matilda.
08:00Dad does not like us to talk about Mark.
08:02Matilda, I got a text.
08:03Someone knows where Mark is.
08:05Isn't that good news?
08:06Who?
08:06I don't know.
08:07I thought we were trying to find out.
08:08Do you have any idea who might know Mark's whereabouts now?
08:11Friends?
08:12Enemies?
08:13No.
08:17I do not want his name spoken in my house.
08:20Mr. Troyer.
08:21Hi, I'm Cheryl Cooper.
08:23I run the Swiss Miss.
08:24Uncle Saul, Cheryl is here to help.
08:25We do not need her help.
08:27But we have some information about Mark.
08:29Lydia, please.
08:29He knows where we are.
08:31But Saul.
08:32I have nothing more to say about this.
08:34Oh, okay.
08:37Well, thank you for the tea.
08:41That was strange.
08:43Did I mention they're Schwartz and Schruber Amish?
08:46No.
08:47They're the most conservative of the Amish community.
08:49Do you think that's why Mark left?
08:52Maybe.
08:52He wanted to be an artist, and that is discouraged in the Amish community.
08:57Kathy said that he might have had a girlfriend.
08:59Yes.
08:59Mark broke a lot of hearts.
09:01Anyone special?
09:02There's a long list, but at the top I would say Sarah Yatzee, Hannah Hilty, and Henry Detweiler.
09:10Henry?
09:11Mark flirted with Sarah Yatzee, who was sort of dating Henry Detweiler.
09:14So when she broke it off with Henry, he thought it was Mark's fault.
09:18Oh.
09:19And what about Hannah Hilty?
09:21He was Hannah's first boyfriend, and I don't think she ever got over him.
09:25Oh, hold on.
09:33Meet me at the Googiasberg in parking lot at 8 p.m.
09:36We need to talk.
09:37What?
09:40Who is this?
09:53Officer Ortega?
10:03Twitch, will put you up to this?
10:05No.
10:07He doesn't know I'm here.
10:09So why are you?
10:11I agree with you.
10:13The Troyer case could use another look.
10:15But we have to find new evidence to justify reopening the case.
10:19We?
10:20The Amish aren't fond of talking to the police.
10:24But it sounds like they will talk to you.
10:26So you need my help.
10:28Let's just say we may be able to help each other.
10:31Okay.
10:33Okay.
10:34Send me the number.
10:35I'll try and trace it.
10:37You can't tell anyone about this.
10:41Okay?
10:42Got it.
10:43Thanks.
10:55Thanks.
10:57Hello.
10:58Hi.
10:59Ooh, you're making pies?
11:01Just crust today.
11:02Is this for the fundraiser?
11:04Yes.
11:05We will decorate the barn and everyone who attends will bring a dish and a bit of money to contribute.
11:12You're having it in the barn?
11:14Our house just isn't big enough for that many people.
11:16Well, you could rent a space and have dinner catered.
11:20Oh, that is not what we do.
11:22You could raise so much more money if you make it a special event.
11:25I could talk to Kathy about catering.
11:27Oh, and I could design some posters that we could hang around town.
11:30Uh, I will talk to the Eshes about that.
11:34Would you like me to come with you?
11:35No.
11:37Uh, that will not be necessary.
11:42Cheryl, did you tell them what happened?
11:43What happened?
11:44I'm sure you know about Mark Troyer.
11:47Oh, very sad story.
11:49I can only imagine what Joanna has been through.
11:53Lydia got a text that they knew where Mark was, but she does not know who sent it.
11:57She asked me to help her find out where it came from.
11:59Oh, it would be such a gift to Joanna to finally have some answers.
12:04Even if it is bad news, she'll still know.
12:09Do you want to help me?
12:12Yeah.
12:24Cheryl, are you leaving already?
12:27Yes.
12:28I just stopped by to ask your mom about Mark Troyer.
12:31Did you know him?
12:32Not well.
12:32He's a few years younger than me.
12:34Though I do remember Elizabeth and Esther being quite fond of him.
12:37Yeah, it sounds like he was quite popular.
12:39Lydia gave me a few names to look into.
12:41If you need a hand, let me know.
12:43I thought you weren't into mysteries.
12:45I was just trying to be helpful, but you don't need any.
12:48That's not what I meant.
12:52I'll get a door for you.
13:00All right.
13:02Bye, Levi.
13:03Bye.
13:07Troyer's car was found abandoned at the Canton bus station.
13:11The search did not reveal signs of foul play.
13:14However, Sugar Creek police have taken possession of several items inside the car as evidence.
13:19A book of sculptures by the artist Martin Puryear.
13:23Canton Raceway bedding slip with a number 87 written on the back.
13:28Troyer has not been seen since the night of September 24th.
13:34Bo?
13:34Wouldn't Mark take his car if he was running away?
13:40I think it's suspicious, too.
13:52Hey, Cheryl.
13:54Hey.
13:55Can I ask you a couple more questions about Mark Troyer?
13:57Yeah, sure.
13:58Go ahead.
13:58The night that you found his shirt, can you remember who else was there?
14:03Oh.
14:04That kind of thing sticks with you.
14:06There was Ben Vogel, your aunt Mitzi, and two Amish boys, Henry Detweiler and Moses Schrock.
14:14Do you think Henry or Moses would talk to me?
14:17Like a lot of the Amish, especially the boys, no.
14:22Because we're women?
14:24Yes, and not Amish.
14:26But they talked to Levi.
14:27Noted.
14:28Thanks for your help.
14:30Yep.
14:31You don't want to stay and do the dishes?
14:33Next time.
14:35God.
14:43Pathy said the Amish boys might talk to me if you were with me, so thank you.
14:56Hi there.
14:56How can I help you folks?
14:57We're looking for Henry Detweiler.
14:59Is he working today?
14:59Yes, he's that young man right over there.
15:03Henry?
15:05Hello, Levi.
15:06Good to see you, Henry.
15:09This is my friend, Cheryl Cooper.
15:10Hi.
15:12We'd like to talk to you about Mark Troyer.
15:15We heard there was some tension between the two of you.
15:17Could you tell me about that?
15:20Okay.
15:21You can trust me.
15:23It is true.
15:25There was tension between us.
15:28We'd not been seeing each other long, but Mark stole Sarah from me.
15:32So it was about a girl.
15:34Yeah.
15:35Sarah Yatze.
15:37A few weeks before he disappeared, Mark flirted with her at a singing.
15:41Well, could have had any girl he wanted, but he picked her.
15:44She went with him.
15:46And he moved on to a new girl.
15:48It's what he did.
15:51After that, she stopped wanting to see me.
15:56I know it's hard, but you will find someone, Henry.
16:00I'm sure.
16:03I just have one last question.
16:05Do you happen to have a cell phone?
16:08This phone?
16:08No.
16:09It is forbidden.
16:10Except during rum spring, huh?
16:11Thank you for your time, Henry.
16:20Well, he is either upset or guilty.
16:36I thought we were keeping this investigation between us.
16:38You can trust him.
16:40Levi Miller.
16:41Your secret is safe with me, I'm sorting.
16:44So, what did you find out?
16:47I ran a check on Mark and our system.
16:49No matching police records from the last three years.
16:53I also tried the community college where he was taking art classes.
16:56I got a disconnected phone number and an invalid email address.
17:00Anything on the number I sent you?
17:02Not yet, but I do have some news that might help.
17:07I spoke with Jessica Stockton.
17:09She was the last person to see Mark Troyer in Sugar Creek.
17:12What did she say?
17:13She was driving home from Dover when she saw a car pulled over on the side of the road.
17:17Mark was having engine trouble, but waved Jessica on.
17:21So, she didn't speak it?
17:23No, but what wasn't in the police report was that there was a girl in the car with him.
17:28A girl?
17:29Did she know who it was?
17:31Just that she wasn't Amish and she wore glasses.
17:34So, maybe Mark had an English girlfriend?
17:37It's unlikely in our church.
17:38But not impossible.
17:39I mean, especially during Rumspringer, right?
17:41Right.
17:44Copy that.
17:46I got it now.
17:47Thank you, officer.
17:48Bye.
17:53Lydia, can you come in here?
17:57What do you think?
18:00It's not very Amish.
18:01Well, we want to get the whole town involved, not just the Amish.
18:05Hmm.
18:11But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him.
18:16He ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.
18:20Do you think Saul would let Mark come home if he wanted to?
18:25Uncle Saul is strict, but he is a good father.
18:28My ma'am says he is heartbroken, but he tries to hide it.
18:32There's nothing he would want more than to hear from Mark.
18:34I'm sure that's true of the whole family.
18:37He may be a prodigal, but they'd welcome him home with open arms.
18:41Do you know if he had an English girlfriend?
18:43No.
18:44I'd never mention it if he did.
18:46But you should ask my brother, Elam.
18:47They were close.
18:49Lydia, if the police couldn't figure out what happened to Mark, what makes you think I can?
18:53Because you care.
18:55The police didn't.
19:10This is my house.
19:21Hold the bag wire.
19:24Cheryl, these are my older brothers, Elam and Thomas.
19:27Hey.
19:28Hello.
19:29Hi.
19:29Cheryl wants to ask you about Mark.
19:31Do you know if he had an English girlfriend around the time he disappeared?
19:36Mark liked Amish and English girls.
19:38It would be hard to keep track of all the girls.
19:40So there was no one special?
19:42Someone he might have taken with him when he disappeared?
19:45Not that we know of.
19:47I read that they found a betting slip in his car.
19:50Huh.
19:53During Rumspringa, we went to the horse races.
19:57There was even talk Mark got mixed up with gangsters.
20:00But the only thing we lost was our hard-earned money.
20:03Sorry to hear that.
20:05Just one more question.
20:07Do either of you have a cell phone?
20:10No.
20:11No, ma'am.
20:11We gave them up after Rumspringa gave mine to Thomas.
20:14Yeah, thanks for that.
20:15Took about a week before it broke.
20:19It's him again.
20:23Open the box.
20:30A puzzle box?
20:32Mark loved making them.
20:33It's beautiful.
20:34He gave it to me for my 13th birthday, just a couple of weeks before he disappeared.
20:39Well, the tech said to open it.
20:41We haven't been able to figure it out.
20:44You can try.
21:03Why don't we just bust it open?
21:05We can't.
21:06It's the last thing Lydia has from her cousin.
21:09Fine.
21:14This is Officer Ortega.
21:18Okay.
21:19Thanks.
21:22That was a phone company.
21:24The number is registered to Elam Troyer.
21:27That's not possible.
21:28I was with him when Lydia got that last text.
21:30He must be hiding something.
21:32Why don't you talk to him and find out what it is.
21:35I'm on it.
21:37I'm on it.
21:38I'm on it.
21:40I'm on it.
21:52I'm on it.
21:54I'm on it.
22:00I'm on it.
22:03What can we do for you, Cheryl?
22:05Elam, I thought you said you didn't have a phone.
22:07I gave my phone to Thomas.
22:08Where is it now?
22:10In my room. But it's broken.
22:12Could you show it to me?
22:15I'll be right back.
22:29Here it is.
22:34It doesn't even power on.
22:36Wait, is the SIM card still in here?
22:38I don't know what that is.
22:40Elam, are you still paying the phone bill?
22:41The charges were deducted from my bank account,
22:43but when I gave it to Thomas, I told him to change it to his.
22:46It broke before I even got around to it.
22:48Well, if you're still paying for it, that means the SIM card's still active.
22:51Someone could be using it in another phone.
22:55What's that mean?
22:58There's no SIM card.
23:01Thomas, could someone have taken it?
23:03I don't know.
23:30I don't know.
23:33I got that part.
23:41What are you hiding in there, Mark?
23:53Thanks for coming with me to see Moses, Levi.
24:00Moses.
24:01Levi.
24:02Hi.
24:04How are you doing?
24:05Good to see you.
24:06This is Cheryl.
24:07Hi.
24:08Hi there.
24:09Cheryl has a few questions for you about Mark Troyer.
24:12He was nice enough to show me the ropes.
24:14I started working here at the buggy shop about a month before his disappearance.
24:17So you didn't notice any strange behavior?
24:21No.
24:22He was on Rumspringer at the time.
24:24Everyone liked Mark.
24:25Especially the girls.
24:27Except for Henry Detweiler.
24:29He was sure Mark had ruined his chances with Sarah Yutze.
24:32He was angry about it, but Sarah was never serious about Henry.
24:36How do you know that?
24:37I'm married to Sarah's sister.
24:38And they talk.
24:41So you were at the Honey Bee the night they found Mark's bloody shirt, right?
24:44That wasn't Mark's shirt.
24:45That was my shirt.
24:46The bloody shirt was yours?
24:48I cut my hand on a buzzsaw the last day Mark and I had worked together.
24:52I had blood all over and he got me an extra shirt out of his car.
24:56And then I bled all over that one too.
24:59Must have been a deep cut.
25:00I have not made that mistake again.
25:02Anyway, I called Henry.
25:04We had phones at the time.
25:05I called him to meet me at the Honey Bee with a fresh shirt.
25:09I threw Marks in the dumpster before we met.
25:11Figured he would not want that back.
25:13Why didn't you tell the police?
25:15No one asked.
25:17My mom passed away at the time.
25:19I wasn't working.
25:20I didn't even hear about Mark's disappearance until weeks later.
25:26Was there anything else?
25:28No.
25:29You've been very helpful.
25:31Thank you, Lose.
25:31Excuse me, too.
25:35We should probably talk to Officer Ortega.
25:37Yeah.
25:41And so, I think, given the fact that Jessica's documents account was not fully recorded,
25:47there may be reason enough to take another look at the case.
25:51If we request access to see where the phone is located,
25:55it might just give us the answers we need to finally put this case to bed.
26:00That's been in bed and sleeping soundly for three years.
26:03Troy is a runaway.
26:04That's the end of that.
26:06Chief, his family deserves closure.
26:09We have actual crimes to solve.
26:12Do you understand, Officer?
26:16Yes, sir.
26:16Yes, sir.
26:18That's all.
26:57I can't believe Ortega didn't answer.
26:59I can't believe Ortega didn't answer.
27:19Thanks again.
27:20You were a huge help today.
27:21I don't think they would've talked to me without you.
27:24Not all.
27:24Amish men find it easy to talk to English women.
27:27At least, not as easy as I...
27:30with you.
27:32Hey.
27:33I like talking to you, too.
27:36I should've.
27:37Yeah.
27:50Hi.
27:52Hey.
27:52How's it going with Moses Schrock?
27:55Well, it was his blood on the shirt, not Mark Troyer's.
28:00Moses Schrock's?
28:01Mm-hmm.
28:02He cut his hand on a saw at work, Mark gave him his shirt,
28:05but he bled right through it and threw it in the dumpster.
28:07Oh, my goodness.
28:09Yeah.
28:10Anyways, while I was here, I thought I'd check on the fundraiser.
28:13Do you think we should get some speakers for the dance floor?
28:16Amish do not dance, Cheryl.
28:19Well, yeah, but for the other guests.
28:24I know your heart is in the right place.
28:28But this is an Amish fundraiser, not English.
28:31I was just trying to help.
28:33It is not necessary.
28:43You're never going to believe this.
28:44It turns out the blood on the shirt wasn't Mark Troyer's.
28:47It was Moses Schrock's.
28:48So at least now we can focus on finding Mark and not some killer.
28:53He said I can't pursue the case anymore.
28:55Are you serious?
28:57You're just going to give up?
28:58I can't lose my job over one case.
29:02And it sounds like from what you found out from Moses that Twitchell is right.
29:06Mark is probably a runaway.
29:08You just said it, probably.
29:10Cheryl, please, just leave this alone.
29:14Wow.
29:15You sound just like Twitchell.
29:17Maybe you two deserve each other.
29:27You don't have to do that.
29:28I don't mind.
29:30Anyway, I'm, uh, not here on my own accord.
29:34You're not?
29:36Ma'am is afraid that you hurt your feelings.
29:38She asked me to come and check with you.
29:40I'm fine.
29:41I wasn't listening to her or Elizabeth.
29:44I just wanted to do everything my own way.
29:47You know, I haven't had a yard before.
29:49Can I try?
29:50Sure.
29:53Like...
29:54You'll find it easier if you rake with the breeze.
29:57That way the leaves blow towards you.
29:59See?
30:03Um...
30:05Um...
30:06It's not always a bad thing to be headstrong.
30:08It means you...
30:09You know what you want.
30:11It also means you don't know when to let go.
30:13Just like in grade school when they took the strawberry milk off the menu.
30:16I tried to get everyone to protest with me, and then I found out I was the only one who
30:20liked it.
30:20Still protested anyway, just...
30:22Me and my sign.
30:25Strawberry milk?
30:27I guess it's an acquired taste.
30:31How'd everything go with Officer Ortega?
30:33She's done helping me.
30:35Twitch will put an end to that.
30:37Well, I guess that just means you'll have to find Mark on your own.
30:40How?
30:40The only clue I have left is that puzzle box that Mark left for Lydia.
30:44You never mentioned a puzzle box.
30:46I didn't?
30:49Come on.
30:51Let's see.
31:05What's there?
31:14Got it.
31:16Oh my gosh!
31:17Nina, you're amazing!
31:20I...
31:21I do like puzzles.
31:22What?
31:23Ah, well...
31:24You know...
31:25Mysteries are just big puzzles waiting to be solved.
31:38What is it?
31:40The title to Mark's car.
31:42He signed it over to you, Lydia.
31:46That's not Mark's name.
31:47It says Mark Per here.
31:48I guess he changed his last name.
31:51To his favorite artists.
31:53Which explains why we couldn't find him in any of our searches.
31:56So if Mark left me his car, that means he planned to leave all along.
32:01But...
32:02I don't understand. Why would he just vanish without telling anyone?
32:06I think someone did know.
32:13Chief Switchle wants to see you.
32:15He probably wants me to make coffee.
32:17Mm-hmm.
32:19Yeah.
32:20Come on.
32:31Wanted to see me?
32:33Take a seat.
32:40I went over your notes on the trial file.
32:42It's not bad work.
32:45I may have missed a few things after all.
32:48I've decided to reopen the case.
32:51I'm writing a formal request to the courthouse right now.
32:54Asking them to track that SIM card signal to find out who's been texting Lydia Troyer.
32:59Thank you, Chief.
33:01There's just one condition.
33:04I don't want to hear anything about Cheryl Cooper being involved in this.
33:08Is that clear?
33:10Yes sir.
33:38There you are.
33:40I'm so glad you came.
33:42Oh, of course I came.
33:44Naomi, this is lovely.
33:45It would have been lovelier if we had brought someone in to decorate.
33:49It could not have turned out better.
33:52I'm sorry I tried to take over.
33:54I just wanted the night to be successful for your friend.
33:57I know.
33:58And it is.
34:00Look around.
34:01See all these people who came out to show my cousin and her family that they care.
34:06What about their medical expenses?
34:09Well, we will be able to cover some of it.
34:12But the most important thing is that they know that we are there for them and we know
34:16what they need and whatever we can't provide, we will trust that gut will.
34:22You're right.
34:24Our table is right over there.
34:26I'm going to get some food.
34:30Cheryl, you made it.
34:33Elizabeth, hi.
34:34You did a beautiful job in here.
34:36You're too kind.
34:37No, it's perfect.
34:39It truly is.
34:41Uh, Levi says there's some big developments in Mark's case.
34:44I think we're getting closer.
34:46I'm sure you'll figure it out.
34:48Dett and Levi are waiting for you over there.
34:50Oh, okay.
34:57Cheryl!
34:59Cheryl!
35:00Hey!
35:01What are you doing at an Amish fundraiser?
35:03I thought you'd be here.
35:04And I wanted to tell you,
35:06Twitchell's working on the court order to track the cell phone.
35:08I think you might be too late.
35:10They just sent me this text.
35:12I think someone overheard me talking about the case.
35:15They're here?
35:18Call the number.
35:19Good idea.
35:23Where is that?
35:25Over there!
35:28Lydia!
35:30Police!
35:32Stop!
35:35Turn around!
35:36Slowly!
35:43Elizabeth?
35:44What's happening?
35:46I think we found our mystery texter.
35:49But she doesn't even own...
35:52a phone.
35:55I bought it during my room, Springo.
35:58Go on.
36:01I took the SIM card from Thomas' phone when I was helping his mom with the baby.
36:04Why would you do that?
36:09Because I know what happened to Mark, and I wanted you to know.
36:12What happened to him?
36:14He left to study art in New York.
36:17But why would he leave without telling anyone?
36:20He didn't.
36:21He left a note for his whole family.
36:23He's even written his parents, and they've never responded.
36:26How do you know?
36:31Mark and I used to see each other romantically.
36:35Mark Troyer?
36:37I'm sorry.
36:39It was a secret.
36:41I knew what people would think.
36:42I was too young.
36:45But we told each other everything.
36:48He told me things that he did not dare tell his family or anyone.
36:53We ended things before he left, but we've remained friends.
36:59Even though he's married.
37:02Mark is married?
37:04So what did you mean by your text?
37:06You're getting closer.
37:07There's not much time.
37:09Mark's wife's pregnant.
37:10And in the new year, they're moving to Rome.
37:13I just wanted him and his family to make peace before they left the country, and it's too late.
37:19So it was you in the car with Mark the night he left?
37:22No.
37:23That was not me.
37:25Then who was it?
37:32Matilda.
37:34Matilda?
37:36I found Mark's note that night.
37:38I did not want him to leave, so I found him, and I tried to convince him to stay, but
37:42his mind was already made up.
37:45Why not tell us?
37:46I knew it would upset you and Dad to know that Mark had abandoned us, our family, our faith.
37:51You thought it would be better for us to think that our son left without saying goodbye?
37:56Or even worse, to think he might be dead?
37:59The rules of our district are very clear.
38:02We do not condone sin among our members.
38:04Did you not think that we would forgive him?
38:06He's more important than any of the rules.
38:09Mark was not a member.
38:10They had not been baptized yet.
38:11Where are the letters he sent?
38:12I want to see them.
38:15I did not want him to influence the younger children, so I burned them.
38:20I was only trying to keep our family together.
38:23Matilda, everyone can make their own decisions about joining the church.
38:27Even your brothers and sisters.
38:37Come inside.
38:39Can I have everyone's attention, please?
38:42I wanted to thank everyone for coming out in support of the Eshes.
38:47Not only have you given up your talents with all of this delicious food,
38:52but you have opened up your hearts
38:55and given generously.
38:59God is good.
39:12This is really good.
39:13Yeah.
39:18Poor Elizabeth.
39:19Having to keep that all in.
39:21We can never trust the quiet ones.
39:24Do you think she still has feelings for Mark?
39:27Just friendship.
39:30Sometimes that's enough.
39:34Cheryl, did you see all the pies that they have up there?
39:38No.
39:39Did I interrupt something?
39:43Uh...
39:43Mary?
39:43I hate you.
40:01Here.
40:03I hate you.
