Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries S01E05
Transcript
00:00I'd like for the safe to go here.
00:03Alright.
00:07That's funny.
00:08What?
00:09Stats are supposed to be every 16 inches.
00:12Maybe two feet on older walls.
00:14What does that mean?
00:15It means we're gonna have to open it up and see what we have going on back there.
00:19Okay. Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:33Cheryl?
00:34Be right there.
00:35You're not gonna believe what's back here.
00:37Why? What is it?
00:38It's one of those old laundry chutes.
00:41You know what this place used to be a house?
00:42Yeah.
00:46I wonder who this belongs to.
00:50I don't know. It's been in there a while.
00:57Yeah, I'm gonna have to pull his shoe.
00:59That's awesome.
01:00That's a lot.
01:01Two by four studs to support the safe.
01:14Ellen Streeter?
01:16Does that name ring a bell?
01:18I can't place it.
01:23Huh.
01:281934.
01:30A peace dollar.
01:31That could be worth the money.
01:33Really?
01:35Yeah, I collected coins as a kid.
01:38No woman just leaves her purse behind without a good reason.
01:42I'm gonna try to find out what happened to Ellen Streeter.
01:58My love, I feel like I've been living in the dark all these years.
02:03It was you that gave me hope that there was light beyond this darkness.
02:07I have little money that I've saved through the years.
02:11With God's help, it will be enough to start a new life.
02:15Even if that is without you.
02:18I want you to know that I love you.
02:21I pray you're reading this and I was not murdered.
02:25Murdered?
02:27Either way, you'll know that I loved you to the end.
02:31Love, Ellen.
02:43What happened to you, Ellen Streeter?
02:48Hey.
02:49Good to see you.
02:50Ellen does not think anything is good.
02:53Why? What's wrong?
02:54She is worried about Lydia.
02:56She went to visit her family in Columbus.
02:58She did not go to visit, she went to stay.
03:00I do not know that.
03:02Isn't that the point of Rumspringa?
03:03To try out a different life?
03:05You never know. She might come back.
03:07I pray you are right.
03:09Well, I know something that will take your mind off Lydia.
03:13Does the name Ellen Streeter mean anything to you?
03:15It looks like she lived right here.
03:18No.
03:19I knew the Barnes who lived here before your Aunt Mitzi and Uncle Ralph bought the place and converted into
03:24the store.
03:25Chuck and I found her things in an old laundry chute in the wall.
03:28Looks like it was covered over a long time ago.
03:31This license is 40 years old.
03:33And I found a note in her purse.
03:35It said, I hope you're reading this letter and I wasn't murdered.
03:40Do you think she was murdered?
03:42I have no idea, but I plan to find out.
03:47I'm going to take those boxes down to the basement.
03:49I will have Levi come by.
03:51You don't need to do that.
03:58Hey, Chief.
04:00I wanted to let you know that I happened upon a lost purse.
04:06Fill this out and if someone comes asking for it, I'll call you.
04:09I think they lost it 40 years ago.
04:12I'm sure whoever was looking for it has stopped by now.
04:16I think it belongs to Ellen Streeter.
04:19Her driver's license is still in the wallet.
04:21And what is it you want from me?
04:24Could you see if there are any police reports about her?
04:26She used to live in the Swiss Miss back when it was still a house.
04:29Don't tell me.
04:31You're afraid she died there?
04:46Oh.
04:47What is it?
04:49There is a death report at that address, but it's not Ellen.
04:54It's Bill Streeter.
04:56Probably was her husband.
04:58Said he died falling down the stairs.
05:02It was ruled an accident.
05:16I feel like there's more to your story, Ellen.
05:24Hey!
05:25Yeah, just dropping off some supplies.
05:28Hey, by the way, I talked to a coin expert.
05:30That guy I knew back in the day.
05:32He said that coin is worth 10 grand easy.
05:35$10,000?
05:37Now I really need to find Ellen Streeter.
05:40You know, some people would just put that money in their pocket and not say another word.
05:46Oh, hi.
05:48Hey, Levi.
05:49Chuck.
05:50Thanks, Chuck.
05:54Madam said you needed some help.
05:55I hope it's not too much trouble.
05:56Not at all.
05:57It's just these boxes that need to go down to the basement.
06:00Okay.
06:02All right.
06:03While we're down there, maybe you could look around a bit?
06:05For what?
06:06I don't know.
06:07A faux wall or somewhere you could hide a body.
06:10I've never mentioned anything about a body.
06:12Because there probably isn't one.
06:13I'm sure there isn't one.
06:15It's just that Ellen Streeter, the woman I'm looking for, thought that someone was trying to kill her.
06:19I want to know if her body was still there when they covered up those walls.
06:28Watch your head.
06:29You can just put them right there.
06:34Take that for it.
06:36Thanks.
06:41Well, no false walls down here.
06:47It's all rock.
06:49Do you think someone could be buried in there?
06:52No.
06:53The foundation is all original to the house.
07:03Holy fuck!
07:06You weren't afraid, were you?
07:08No.
07:10Maybe a little.
07:14There's one more box upstairs.
07:16Yeah.
07:19Hey, a customer was telling me about this really nice gentle horse that's available for adoption at the Cummings Farm.
07:24If you need one.
07:26My horses are all still pretty young, but I'll keep an ear out if I hear anyone looking for one.
07:29Can you believe somebody is just giving a horse away?
07:32I'm probably just trying to find a nice home for her.
07:34Yeah.
07:35Wish I had a place.
07:37Think Aunt Mitzi would let me keep a horse in the house?
07:39Probably not.
07:40Probably not.
07:43Thanks.
07:49101 East Main Street, Bill Streeter.
07:57Amos Streeter.
07:59Must be his brother.
08:01Amos Streeter.
08:06Let's see where you live, Mr. Streeter.
08:13Let's see where you live, Mr. Streeter.
08:21This must be it.
08:44Hello?
08:45Hi.
08:45I'm looking for Amos Streeter.
08:47I have some things that belong to his sister-in-law.
08:50Wait here.
08:58Amos?
08:59What do you want?
09:01I'm Cheryl.
09:02I run the Swiss Miss.
09:03I found some belongings of Ellen Streeter's over there.
09:06Mmm.
09:07Okay.
09:15Please.
09:20I found Ellen's things behind an old wall in a laundry chute.
09:25I wanted to ask you about this coin.
09:27Her father gave her that, before he passed away.
09:30Well, I understand it has some real value.
09:33Which is why I wanted to find Ellen, if she's still alive.
09:37What are you talking about?
09:39Well, I also found a note in the wallet and it suggested that Ellen might have been in some real
09:45danger.
09:47She called me after Bill died.
09:50Said she was sorry.
09:51But that's the last I heard.
09:53And you haven't talked to her since?
09:56Why would I?
09:57You know, that's the problem with this town.
09:59There's too many people sticking their noses in other people's business.
10:04The only reason I came back here is to take care of my sister.
10:11Well, if anything comes to mind.
10:15You know where to find me.
10:25I kinda love this right now.
10:28I really feel I am flying.
10:32Really...
10:33Hand over all the dolls!
10:35You scared me!
10:36Well, I've had practice.
10:39You look great!
10:41Oh, thanks. Right back atcha.
10:42I guess Sugar Creek agrees with you.
10:44I guess so.
10:46What are you doing here?
10:47I'm here for your birthday.
10:48Surprise!
10:49Why didn't mom and dad say anything?
10:51Because they don't know.
10:54Oh boy.
10:56Happy birthday to me.
10:57It'll be fine.
10:58I'm here to show them that I've landed on my feet.
11:01I always knew you would.
11:03So, can I crash with you?
11:04Uh, at Atmancy's?
11:05Yeah, of course.
11:06That'll be so much fun.
11:07Um, are you hungry?
11:08Do you even need to ask?
11:09I'm always hungry.
11:11Well, I'll treat you to lunch.
11:12Just give me five minutes.
11:13Perfect.
11:13I need to check my email.
11:15Office is right through there.
11:16Don't mess up my desk.
11:18You look like I'm 12.
11:20I'm way more than 12.
11:27Matt, I told you not to touch my stuff.
11:30No, you said don't mess up my desk.
11:34Okay, jeez.
11:36Hey, this letter.
11:37What's up with this?
11:38Seems a little suspicious.
11:40I found it hidden in this old laundry chute inside the wall.
11:44Huh.
11:46So, if she was murdered, do you get to keep the coin?
11:50What?
11:51What?
11:52I'm just saying, it seems like it could be worth something.
11:54It is.
11:55But please, don't mention this to Mom and Dad.
11:57I don't think they would approve of any of this.
12:00Hmm.
12:01No way.
12:01You are the golden child.
12:03Not anymore.
12:04That was before I came to Sugar Creek.
12:06Now, I've joined you in the ranks of misguided children.
12:09Hmm.
12:10Speaking of misguided, you promised me lunch?
12:13Right.
12:13Lunch first.
12:14Then I should probably drop you off at Aunt Mitzi's.
12:17Mom and Dad are meeting me here at five.
12:19Oh.
12:20Noted.
12:21Yeah.
12:22Get my purse.
12:30Mom!
12:30Dad!
12:31Hey!
12:31Hey!
12:32Up here.
12:39Come on in.
12:41So, the counter used to be over here, and then I added these tables.
12:44Looks great, honey.
12:46Esther, this is my mom, Ginny, and my dad, Greg.
12:48It's so nice to meet you both.
12:49Hello.
12:50Nice to meet you.
12:51Yeah.
12:52Isn't she nice to meet you?
12:52Isn't she awfully young to be working?
12:54Sometimes I forget how young she is.
12:56She's so responsible and such a huge help around here.
12:59Speaking of, this is Esther's mother.
13:02This must be the famous Naomi.
13:04Cheryl goes on and on about you.
13:05Aww.
13:06No, not famous, but I am glad to finally meet you both.
13:10Great to meet you.
13:11And we look forward to having you over to the house tomorrow to celebrate Cheryl's birthday.
13:16That's very kind of you.
13:18That reminds me.
13:19There will be one more person joining us for dinner tomorrow, if that's okay?
13:21Of course it is.
13:23Who is it?
13:25Matt.
13:26Matt.
13:27Your brother?
13:29Surprise!
13:32Um, Esther, and I need to get going, but we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
13:38We can't wait.
13:40Bye.
13:41Bye.
13:45Matt's doing great.
13:47He's really excited to see you both.
13:49Good.
13:49This is going to be good.
13:51This is going to be good.
13:52We've had a long trip.
13:53Why don't we go back to the hotel and get, uh...
13:55That's a good idea.
13:56Good night.
13:59Great to see you, too.
14:07Hi, Aunt Mitzi.
14:08Oh, Cheryl.
14:09It is always so good to see you.
14:12How's everything going back at home?
14:13Everything is good.
14:15And we do have a new mystery.
14:17Oh, do tell.
14:18Well, I'm having a wall safe installed in the office.
14:21So that's smart.
14:22And inside the wall, we found an old laundry chute.
14:25Well, I'm not surprised.
14:26You know it was a house when your uncle and I bought it.
14:28Yes, but there's more.
14:30Inside the old laundry chute, I found the belongings of a woman named Ellen Streeter.
14:34Ellen Streeter?
14:35I'm hoping to find her and return her things.
14:38They must have lived there 40 years ago.
14:40Apparently, her husband Bill fell down the stairs and died.
14:44Oh, my.
14:45Excitement does seem to follow you.
14:47And I have a surprise guest for the weekend.
14:50Just come over here.
14:54Hey, Aunt Mitzi.
14:55How's New Guinea treating you?
14:56Matt!
14:58Look at you all grown up.
15:00I gotta be honest.
15:01It's a little weird being here without you.
15:04I have so many good memories of you and Cheryl visiting in the summers.
15:08Yeah, those are some good times.
15:10Yeah.
15:11I wish I were there.
15:33Mr. Keith.
15:35No.
15:37No, no, no, no, no, no.
15:38Guys.
15:40No.
15:42Chuck, did you lock up when you left last night?
15:44Of course.
15:45I mean, I think so.
15:47Could anyone have come in here while you were working?
15:49I guess so.
15:50I was making some noise and I had my headphones on.
15:52What time was that?
15:54Around 11.
15:59Someone took Ellen Streeter's things.
16:05What about the coin?
16:06Coin's gone too.
16:07I did see a truck drive real slow past the shop.
16:09About 10 or so.
16:11I didn't think anything of it.
16:13Sorry.
16:14I come with coffee.
16:19Chuck, this is my brother, Matt.
16:21Chuck's doing some work for me.
16:23Hey.
16:23Hi.
16:24Um, here we go.
16:26Yeah, I brought some to mom and dad too.
16:28I wouldn't call it a warm welcome, but, you know, dad tried.
16:32He put on his best pastor face.
16:35What's wrong?
16:38Ellen Streeter's things are gone.
16:41Oh, really?
16:42The mystery thickens.
16:44Hmm.
16:45Hey, Matt.
16:45Can you do me a favor?
16:46Sure.
16:47Could you take my bag and put it on my truck?
16:50It's the red one there on the side.
16:52Yeah, of course.
16:52You just throw it in the back.
16:53Sure.
16:54See?
16:55I am useful.
16:58The red one?
16:59Yeah.
17:00Cool.
17:02You see that black truck?
17:06That's the one I saw last night.
17:12Oh, the farm is much bigger than I expected.
17:15Look at the little goat in the yard.
17:25Oh, shoot.
17:31Hey, Levi.
17:32This is my mom and dad, Ginny and Greg Cooper.
17:34Hello.
17:35Nice to meet you all.
17:36Nice to meet you.
17:36Great place.
17:37And my brother, Matt.
17:38Nice to meet you.
17:39Shall we?
17:40Sure.
17:40Sure.
17:47So what are you going to do?
17:49Can't call Twitchell.
17:51From what Chuck said, Matt is the main suspect.
17:54Who else could it be?
17:56Well, Chuck was there.
17:58I don't think he would do it either.
18:01Chuck and Matt are the only two who know about the coin.
18:05You may have to go to the police this time.
18:07I am 99% sure Matt wouldn't do it.
18:10Well, 98.
18:12Mm-hmm.
18:13You're welcome.
18:16You're welcome.
18:18Thank you all.
18:23Everything is delicious, Naomi.
18:26I had some help.
18:27Thank you, though.
18:28Marian heard from Lydia.
18:30And?
18:31She said that Lydia is happy in her cousin's home, but she did not sound happy.
18:36Is she on Rum Springer?
18:38Yes, but I don't think we should talk about that.
18:41Oh, Cheryl.
18:42You worry too much about our feelings.
18:44I am more than happy to answer your questions, Ginny.
18:49Well, I've read that you encourage your children to go out and sin.
18:55In our church, we teach our children that sin is something to stay away from.
19:00Mom.
19:02I didn't send my children out into the street to teach them that it's dangerous.
19:08I understand how you feel.
19:10But there are so many children who walk away from their faith as they get older.
19:14Of course, our desire as parents is that they join the church.
19:19But that is their decision.
19:22One between them and good.
19:23Not ours.
19:26Makes sense.
19:27I was expected to follow in my parents' footsteps because they're pastors.
19:30But it wasn't until I got out into the world I started to realize why I needed a savior.
19:35I think when I really gave my life to Christ, it was real.
19:39Do most stay in the church after they join?
19:41They do.
19:42And we believe it is because they were given the chance to choose.
19:45If they do decide to leave once they're part of the church, they'll be shunned.
19:50Right?
19:51I have not seen any shunning for many years.
19:54It is way less prevalent today.
19:57Who's ready for cake?
19:58I am.
19:59Me too.
20:02The cake was delicious, Naomi.
20:12Do you like it?
20:13I do.
20:18Oh.
20:20Hello.
20:22So, I only added a few charms so you can kind of pick your own.
20:26Or you could just tell me which charms you want.
20:28I thought we could add to it each year.
20:31It's perfect.
20:32I love it.
20:35Now for our gift.
20:37What?
20:37You don't have to do that.
20:39Would everyone join me outside?
20:41And I will get the lemonade.
20:44You have to close your eyes.
20:46Just close your eyes.
20:53I think I trust you guys.
20:58What is it?
20:59Can I open my eyes now?
21:00You can open your eyes.
21:04Cheryl, be patience.
21:06Am I going for a ride?
21:08I hope for many.
21:11Patience is yours.
21:12What?
21:14This is the horse that you told me about.
21:17What is it?
21:17We discussed it with the family and we're happy to board her here.
21:20So, she's yours to take for a ride whenever you want.
21:23That's too generous of you.
21:24Well, it's easy for us.
21:26We have an empty stall and plenty of hay.
21:28I could barely keep the surprise from you.
21:30I was about to burst.
21:31We're glad you like her.
21:32You always wanted a horse.
21:34I love her.
21:40You didn't tell me about Levi.
21:43Levi's just a friend, Mom.
21:45As long as you know that's all he can ever be.
21:57I still can't believe it.
22:00I have a horse.
22:01Did you take a picture?
22:02Oh, yeah.
22:03I took like 20 pictures of you and your birthday horse.
22:06Can I see it?
22:06Um, yeah.
22:08I think I must have left my phone back there.
22:10Um, okay.
22:11I'll be right back.
22:12Okay.
22:30Okay, Matt.
22:32Where would you hide a coin?
22:48My phone was in the truck.
22:52Good.
22:53So if you, you know, want to tell me what you're looking for, maybe I can just help you find
22:56it?
22:56No, Matt.
22:57I just...
22:58You just wanted to see if I was a thief or not?
23:00That's not it.
23:01But Chuck told me he saw your truck drive by the Swiss Miss last night and I just wanted to
23:06prove it wasn't you.
23:07Have I ever stolen anything from you?
23:09No.
23:10Okay.
23:10Well, you know, Chuck was right that he saw me drive by, but I couldn't sleep last night.
23:14So I just went for a drive.
23:16And when I saw lights on in the shop, I wanted to see what was going on.
23:20But I saw Chuck working.
23:21I figured everything was fine.
23:22Oh.
23:24I'm sorry.
23:26You think you can forgive me?
23:30No, I don't think so unless I delete your horse photos.
23:34Wait.
23:34That's not fair.
23:35No, seriously.
23:36Okay.
23:37If you're done snooping around, I do need to call Leah back.
23:40Leah?
23:41Do you have a girlfriend?
23:43Oh, she's more than a girlfriend.
23:45She is my fiance.
23:47What?
23:48Matt, you didn't say anything.
23:50Okay.
23:51Well, we're definitely even now.
23:52I'm sorry.
23:53I'm not ready to really open it up for discussion with mom and dad.
23:57Well, I can keep a secret.
24:02Since when?
24:04A job well done.
24:07It has a default code, so you'll need to set a new one.
24:10Thanks, Chuck.
24:12Wish I had gotten the safe before the coin was stolen.
24:15Yeah, I'm sure sorry about that.
24:16Thanks.
24:17Let me know if there's anything else that you need.
24:19I will.
24:21Bye, Chuck.
24:21Thanks, Chuck.
24:26I don't think it was Chuck.
24:27I don't either.
24:28I'm 100% sure that it wasn't Matt.
24:31Who else could it be?
24:33I have no idea.
24:34Which is why I called Twitchell this morning and reported the coin is stolen.
24:38I think that is wise.
24:41Well, you coming, men?
24:43Not yet.
24:45Cheryl and I are going to go visit Maybelline.
24:48All right.
24:48Well, see you later.
24:50Bye.
24:51Who is Maybelline?
24:53Maybelline Finn.
24:54I had asked her if she remembered the streeters.
24:58And she does.
24:59Maybe she'll know what happened to Ellen.
25:01Mm-hmm.
25:02Let us find out.
25:04Maybelline has been blind since she was just a child.
25:12Ellen was such a lovely young woman.
25:16It's hard for me to imagine why she married a man like Bill.
25:19Why?
25:20What was he like?
25:21Well, I know it's not polite to speak ill of the dead.
25:26But he was just awful.
25:29He would never let her out of his sight.
25:32She couldn't go out without him knowing what she was doing or where she was going.
25:39We lived right next door to Ellen.
25:41And she and my mother would chat over the fence.
25:46She confided in my mother.
25:49Bill would not have liked it.
25:51If he knew what really good friends they were.
25:54Do you remember the night he died?
25:57I won't ever forget it.
25:59Not because of Bill's death.
26:02But I heard things that night that just didn't make sense.
26:07And when I asked my mom about it,
26:11she said I must have been mistaken.
26:15I think she knew what happened.
26:17I think she kept it a secret, even from me.
26:21You said you heard things?
26:25That night, I heard a car pull in to Bill and Ellen's.
26:32And a little bit later, a car left.
26:36There must have been a couple of hours that went by.
26:38And then a car arrived about 15 minutes before the police showed up.
26:46The story was that Amos came by to visit his brother Bill and found Bill at the bottom of the
26:53stairs.
26:55Amos said that Ellen had left Bill about a week earlier.
26:59But you don't think she did?
27:02Well, I heard Ellen and my mother talking just two days before Bill's death.
27:09And when I asked her about that,
27:14she said she hadn't.
27:19I think that's the only time my mother lied to me.
27:24You think Ellen was there, but she left before the police came?
27:28I am blind, but I have excellent hearing.
27:33Do you think Ellen could have killed Bill before she left town?
27:38Ellen was not the type of person to do something like that.
27:43I'm afraid we may never know what really happened that night.
27:48I spoke to Bill's brother, Amos.
27:51He says Ellen is still alive.
27:53Do you think he's telling the truth?
27:56I'm not sure, but why would he lie?
28:00Lunch is ready.
28:02I have something I want to show to Cheryl first.
28:06It's right over here.
28:26It's just like the one in Ellen's purse.
28:30She made it for my mom.
28:33Ellen loved lilacs.
28:36It's beautiful.
28:47I smell something delicious.
28:49Yes.
28:51Fresh bread.
28:53My friends take care of me.
28:56We do what we can,
28:58but it's Chuck that does most of the heavy lifting around here.
29:03Yes.
29:04He is very good to me.
29:06He's coming by later to do some painting.
29:12He says something in the house needs to be touched up.
29:20Why are you smiling?
29:22Maybelline and Chuck were once in love.
29:26But Maybelline didn't want to burden Chuck with her disability,
29:29so she told him that she had fallen for someone else so that he would leave her.
29:35But I believe she regrets her decision and realized that she turned a love away.
29:40A love that would have given them both happiness.
29:43Does Chuck know?
29:45No.
29:45And she made me promise not to tell.
29:48Well, you just told me.
29:49I did not promise not to tell you.
29:52And you did not promise not to tell anyone.
29:56Hmm.
30:09Good news.
30:11We found your coin.
30:13That was quick.
30:14We got lucky.
30:16He sold it to some guy in Akron.
30:18We're still trying to find out who he is.
30:21Recognize him?
30:23I've never seen him before.
30:26No, sorry.
30:29No.
30:30Okay.
30:31Well, we'll post this around town.
30:33Someone must know who he is.
30:35Keep the picture in the meantime.
30:38Do you think he'll come back?
30:39I doubt it.
30:42But you never know.
30:44Good day, ladies.
30:46Excuse me.
30:47Thanks.
30:50I can't believe it.
30:51It's my fault.
30:52Chuck, what's your fault?
30:54Remember when I told you I checked with someone about the value of the coin?
30:58Yeah?
30:58That's him.
31:00He lives in Akron.
31:02We met a couple years ago at a coin convention.
31:05We've been passing emails back and forth since then.
31:09I had no idea he would do something like this.
31:12Well, thankfully, we found the coin.
31:14And to be honest, I'm just glad it wasn't someone I know.
31:22Still, I should never have told him.
31:27Chuck, hang on a second.
31:29Sure.
31:35This reminds me of a story.
31:37A story about a young man and a young woman who were madly in love.
31:42She had a problem.
31:44A problem she was afraid might ruin his life.
31:47So, she told him she was in love with someone else.
31:52But she wasn't.
31:54And all these years later, she still regrets telling him that.
32:08Bye, Chuck.
32:16Wait!
32:24Don't get mad.
32:27I talked to Lance, and he mentioned that he ran into someone at the bank.
32:31They fired the person who replaced you.
32:33Isn't that wonderful?
32:34Why would you talk to Lance?
32:36Honey, you know I think the world of Lance.
32:38He broke my heart.
32:39And he's very sorry.
32:41We all make mistakes.
32:43I thought you wanted a family.
32:44What does that have to do with anything?
32:46You're not in your 20s anymore.
32:48And if you haven't noticed, Sugar Creek is not exactly overflowing with eligible men.
32:53Dad lived here.
32:54She has a point.
32:55And he left.
32:56He knew there was no opportunity here.
32:59I want to help you.
33:01I don't want you to wake up one day and realize that your life has passed you by.
33:05She already has a cat.
33:06Not helpful, Matt.
33:10Excuse me.
33:15She wants me to stand by and watch her waste her life.
33:18She has so much potential.
33:19She still does.
33:20Has it occurred to you that she's happy?
33:22Matt, don't start.
33:23Real happiness rarely comes without responsibility.
33:26Yeah.
33:27Cheryl is like the epitome of responsibility.
33:30Just ask Aunt Mitzi.
33:31I wasn't talking about Cheryl.
33:33Oh.
33:34Okay.
33:34Of course.
33:35Yeah.
33:35Back to me.
33:36Can you not even imagine the possibility that I've changed?
33:40How could I?
33:40When you don't come round enough for me to know anything about you.
33:43Okay.
33:44Well, here's something.
33:46I'm engaged.
33:47What?
33:48You are kidding me.
33:49You're marrying someone we haven't even met yet.
33:52Mm-hmm.
33:52Matt, you don't have a steady job.
33:55Yeah.
33:56Yeah.
33:56No, I don't have a job.
33:57No, I started my own business.
33:58And it's doing really well.
34:00What kind of business?
34:02You remember when I was always saying that there's an easier way for-
34:14You left me.
34:15Sorry.
34:16I just couldn't listen to them anymore.
34:18I think it's safe for you to come back in now.
34:21Why?
34:21Did Mom talk you into giving up your dreams too?
34:23No.
34:25No.
34:26No, I wrote Dad a check for everything I've ever borrowed with interest.
34:31It felt pretty good.
34:34I know it's not about the money, but-
34:36Matt, do you think I'm ruining my life?
34:43Are you asking me for advice?
34:46I hate to admit it, but Mom's not wrong.
34:49I thought we'd be married by now.
34:52But Lance isn't going to wait for me.
34:55For now, I just think this is where I'm supposed to be.
35:00I know that doesn't make sense.
35:09I'm sorry about all that.
35:17We're sorry.
35:20Your dad pointed out that what you choose doesn't have to make sense to me as long as it does
35:25to you.
35:26It's hard to know when to stop parenting.
35:28You always came to me for advice.
35:31But now you two are grown and you don't need me.
35:35That's not true.
35:37We still need you.
35:38Yeah, it's just not the same way we used to.
35:40I want what's best for you.
35:43And I'm going to do my best and let go.
35:49We hope you both can forgive us.
35:51Of course we can.
35:54Get in here.
36:11Morning, Miss Cooper.
36:12Hey, Chief.
36:14Well, I think I got some good news for you.
36:16Oh, yeah?
36:17Thanks to the information that Chuck gave us, the Akron police picked up the guy in the photo and he's
36:22been charged.
36:23Did they say what he did with the other things?
36:26He said he didn't take them.
36:28So what? There were two robberies on the same night?
36:31Have you thought about getting a security system?
36:34What if someone taking them had something to do with whatever happened here 40 years ago?
36:39Has anything changed?
36:40No.
36:41Then leave it alone.
36:43That's in the past.
36:53What happened, Ellen?
37:02Of course.
37:13If you weren't hiding something, why would you lie?
37:16Because Bill told everyone that he kept Ellen inside to protect her.
37:20That she was a danger to herself.
37:23So Ellen was there the night Bill died.
37:27And you went over to the house, found him dead, and helped Ellen get away?
37:36You're Ellen's streeter.
37:40And you're the man she loved.
37:44When my brother must have sensed that Ellen was planning to leave, he put her things inside that old chute.
37:53Then he came back later that evening and found that she was ready to leave.
38:00Oh, he was so furious.
38:01There isn't anyone else.
38:05You're lying.
38:06Let go of me!
38:11I tried to help him, but he died instantly.
38:15I was afraid the police would think she'd done it, so I told her I'd come pick her up and
38:19take her to the bus station in Kent.
38:22How did you figure it out?
38:24Maybelline Finn told me that she had heard a car pulling up, but that it had left before the police
38:30came.
38:31But it wasn't until I smelled Ellen's sachet that I remembered the handkerchief that Maybelline showed me.
38:38You made that for Maybelline's mother, didn't you?
38:41And the flowers on that matched the flowers on your pillows.
38:46Did Maybelline's mother know what happened that night?
38:49She saw Amos drive me away, but she never told anyone.
38:53Why did you take the person's suitcase from my office?
38:56If you had told me you knew where Ellen was, I would have given them to you.
38:59I panicked. I hope you'll forgive me.
39:03Of course I can forgive you.
39:06And when that coin turns up, it belongs to you, Ellen.
39:09Oh, thank you. It has some amount of value.
39:14If I were you, I would tell Chief Twitchell the truth.
39:17Bill's death was already ruled as an accident, and after forty years, he's not going to want to reopen this
39:22case.
39:23You're sure?
39:25Trust me, he doesn't want the paperwork.
39:34Did you enjoy your time with your family?
39:36I did. I'm glad they got to see my life here.
39:39It might not be exactly what they envisioned for me, but I think they're starting to accept that I'm right
39:44where God wants me to be.
39:47Family is a blessing from God.
39:49Yeah.
39:50You ready?
39:51Let's go.
39:55Family isn't always perfect.
39:58It's messy and complicated.
40:00But it's also one of God's greatest gifts.
40:04And when we lean into love, even broken places can be mended.
