Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries Season 1 Episode 7
Transcript
00:01The horses in the east pasture, and the smell of Mame's fresh bread cooling on the windowsill.
00:10I hope the allotments that I send help you keep food on the table.
00:15Everything has changed, hasn't it?
00:18Your silence proves that it has.
00:24But I have peace. Deep down, I know I have done the right thing.
00:31I pray that someday you both believe that, too.
00:35Tell Father to take good care of Dutch. I miss that dog.
00:38Your faithful son... I can't make out the name.
00:4334.
00:46You think someone hid them in the wall during the war?
00:50Who knows. Let's get them out of the wall.
00:53Where do you want to put them?
00:56We better get them to a bank.
00:58Saturday. Bank is closed. Lunch is ready.
01:02Naomi, look what we found on the wall.
01:04The mason jar is full of old coins and a letter from World War II.
01:08Looks like Gutt is providing for you, Mr. Johnson.
01:11Well, that would be nice, but those coins don't belong to me.
01:17You think you can find the owner?
01:18We all have.
01:45See you later?
02:12This is heavy.
02:16Careful.
02:26Oh, thank you.
02:27You're welcome.
02:30Anywhere you can find space.
02:32Got it?
02:32You can put that one.
02:39We'll take care of him, Johnson.
02:41Alright, see you guys.
02:42Thanks.
02:51The safe is almost full.
03:05All of these grains are from before the war.
03:08See?
03:09Yeah.
03:10So that's another letter.
03:13I wonder if the family ever resolved their issues when he came home for more.
03:22Sounds like someone wants in.
03:24Mm-hmm.
03:38What is going on?
03:39I was afraid I'd be knocking until Monday.
03:41Well, we are closed until Monday.
03:43That's fine.
03:44I'm not here to shop.
03:45Why are you here?
03:47I'm here to help you.
03:48With what?
03:50Suzanne Marshall.
03:51I was helping out at the house earlier and I heard about the coins.
03:55Should we take a look?
03:55I'm sorry, who are you?
03:57I told you, I'm Suzanne.
03:59I'm a rare coin specialist and I'm here to examine your coins.
04:03Right.
04:05Do you have a card I can see?
04:07Everybody in the coin business knows who I am.
04:11When I heard you were in possession of the coins found today, I rushed right over.
04:16We really do appreciate you stopping by on a Saturday evening, but we're not in any position to make a
04:20decision since they're not ours.
04:22Mm-mm.
04:23I just need a few photos.
04:26Can I help you out to your car?
04:30Fine.
04:31Call me.
04:45That one was even more stubborn than you are.
04:47Very funny.
04:49I wonder what she really wanted.
04:51You didn't believe her?
04:53She said she was at the job site today.
04:55Yeah?
04:56Who wears high heels like that to a job site?
05:00Good point.
05:04Need any help?
05:06Hey, I had to take all the coins from the jars and put them into bags.
05:10You think it'll fit?
05:12We will see.
05:13Hey Johnson, you want to take a look at some of these before we put them away?
05:16Yeah.
05:17Check out this one.
05:21Hmm.
05:22This one stayed in 1939.
05:25It's the same era as the letters.
05:28Oh.
05:31Alright.
05:36Never get that door closed.
05:38Well, how about I put the bag in, move my hands, and you slam the safe closed?
05:43Trust me not to slam your hands on the door?
05:45Of course I do.
05:51On the count of three.
05:53One.
05:54Two.
05:55Three.
05:57Just like Fort Knox.
05:59Well, I appreciate you doing that.
06:02I'll come by on Monday and move them to the bank until we figure out who they belong to.
06:05Sounds good.
06:06And I'll let you know what we find out.
06:08Great.
06:08Bye.
06:09Bye.
06:11I have so many questions.
06:13Me too.
06:13Like, where did those mason jars come from?
06:15Maybe one of the ladies at the canning frolic will know.
06:18Also, who filled them with coins, and-
06:20Why?
06:21I'm gonna go to the courthouse as soon as it opens.
06:23See if I can figure out who used to live in that house.
06:26Hmm.
06:31It's getting late.
06:33We should probably be getting home.
06:36Have a great night.
06:38Goodbye, Cheryl.
06:39Come on, Seth.
06:40Don't ever say frolic.
06:49Marion.
06:51Hey.
06:51How are you?
06:53Good.
06:54Sounds like you've been busy helping Johnson out at the house.
06:57I have.
06:58It's a really good cause.
06:59So, what do you think about the coins?
07:02How do you know about the coins?
07:04I heard all about the charge before church today.
07:06Well, I haven't figured anything out yet, but Johnson is taking them to the bank tomorrow for safekeeping.
07:13Sorry.
07:13Sorry.
07:14He doesn't like it when I stop.
07:15Of course.
07:17See ya.
07:17Bye.
07:20Hey, Cheryl.
07:21Hi, Cheryl.
07:22How are you?
07:22How are you?
07:23How are you?
07:24Good.
07:24Good.
07:25Good.
07:26Good.
07:26Good.
07:26Good.
07:26Good.
07:28Good.
07:29Good.
07:31Good.
07:31Good.
07:33Good.
07:44Good.
07:45Good.
07:46Good.
07:46Good.
07:48Good.
07:49Good.
07:49Good.
07:50Good.
07:51Good.
07:53Good.
07:54Good.
07:54Good.
07:59Good.
08:01Good.
08:01Good.
08:05Look at this mess.
08:07Who would do this?
08:19The coins are gone.
08:24Looks like they came in the window.
08:27Do you go looking for trouble or does it just find you?
08:30I was trying to help Johnson.
08:32Haven't you heard no good D goes unpunished?
08:35Aren't you concerned about a robbery in Sugar Creek?
08:38Make sure no one touches anything.
08:41Of course.
08:42And when you say touches anything...
08:47Let me guess.
08:49Esther!
08:57Miss Miller.
08:58I'm trying to destroy the evidence.
08:59What?
09:00No.
09:01Is there anything you haven't touched?
09:04Oh, I forgot.
09:05There's a note.
09:07Have you touched it?
09:09Just me and Esther.
09:12You probably have already gotten rid of them all,
09:15but we'll see if we can find some prints.
09:18What does the note say?
09:21Don't bother looking for me.
09:22I only took what's rightfully mine.
09:28I'll need that.
09:30I'll need that.
09:30Did you forget to lock it?
09:33So does anyone else have a code to your safe?
09:39I did not tell anyone.
09:40Did you?
09:41No.
09:42You and I are the only ones who have a combination.
09:44You two sure about that?
09:47Mm-hmm.
09:48Mm-hmm.
09:50Excuse me.
09:52Hey, Miss Cooper.
09:53Hey, can I help you?
09:55Brant Sorenson.
09:56Johnson asked me to come over and get the volunteer assignments for today.
09:58Oh, right.
09:59I'll drop it off this morning.
10:01It's already ten o'clock.
10:02We've got workers standing around.
10:04Already?
10:04I'm sorry.
10:05It's in the office.
10:06Just give me a minute.
10:08If that's all right with you.
10:12Is something wrong?
10:13I'm just doing a little shopping.
10:17I'd better get back to the house.
10:20It's right.
10:22Seems a little jumpy.
10:24You know anything about him?
10:26Other than he's helping out Johnson?
10:27That's it.
10:28Okay.
10:29I'll pay him and the other workers a visit.
10:31I'll come with you.
10:32No.
10:33It's my case.
10:35Well, I have to take the schedule now that you scared him off.
10:39Okay, but no investigation, period.
10:43That's my job.
10:45You got it.
10:48Let's go, Nick.
11:11Do any of you remember seeing jars like this?
11:15Isn't that the kind that they found all those coins in?
11:17It is.
11:18Take them out.
11:19Take them out.
11:20Well, this is old for sure.
11:23Probably from the 40s.
11:25I remember it, but not for canning.
11:29What do you think?
11:31She's right.
11:32The jars had labels pasted on them.
11:35The pharmacist used them here in Sugar Creek.
11:38That was a long time ago.
11:41Yeah.
11:41Remember when they had soda fountains?
11:43Oh, whatever happened to those?
11:46Do you remember who the pharmacist was?
11:48Oh, if memory serves me, it was Jacobson.
11:52He had a daughter about my age.
11:54Such a nice girl.
11:56Is she still around?
11:58Ah, Della Jacobson.
12:00She lives in Winesburg.
12:02It's such a nice little town.
12:03Yes, it is.
12:05My goodness.
12:06We have done so well.
12:07We're in the pictures today.
12:08I can't believe it.
12:08That was very helpful.
12:10We're in like 20 minutes.
12:11So, uh, if somebody wants to maybe...
12:13Johnson!
12:14I have the schedule.
12:16Oh, great.
12:17Oh, Branson, you didn't have it.
12:19Oh, I had it.
12:20The morning just got away from me.
12:21And then he ran off before I could give it to him.
12:24I'm sorry you had to make a trip.
12:25That's okay.
12:26I need to talk to you anyway.
12:28Could you get everybody started?
12:30Sure, thanks.
12:31Everyone follow me?
12:39I can come get the coins after we get the guys settled.
12:42That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
12:45Someone broke in.
12:46The coins are gone.
12:47What?
12:48Are you okay?
12:49I'm fine, but the thief left a note saying the coins belong to them?
12:53Yeah, maybe they do.
12:55Well, I reported it to the police.
12:58Okay.
13:00We are working on getting fingerprints at the crime scene, although they have been compromised.
13:06I'll need to do elimination fingerprints on your workers.
13:09You think that's necessary?
13:11What do you know about Grant Sorensen?
13:14I'm asking the questions here.
13:18Well, I know he's a hard worker.
13:21So, and around here, that's what matters.
13:24Who's that?
13:25Oh, Sadie?
13:26Sadie, she's a sweet girl.
13:27She's here returning for the summer.
13:30Can you show me where you found the coins?
13:32Yeah, sure.
13:33Follow me.
13:35You're telling me only to stay out of this?
13:37I'll have her.
13:39There were about eight jars on each shelf.
13:42Most of them were full.
13:43Maybe some of them were, I don't know, half of them were half full.
13:45You better come see this.
13:47I'll be right back.
13:54What in the world?
13:56We just finished this room on Saturday.
13:58At this rate, we're going backwards.
14:03Someone's looking for coins.
14:14Do you want a big wedding?
14:17Not really.
14:18I already planned one.
14:19I had the venue, invitations, a band.
14:23I even picked out a wedding dress.
14:25I'm sorry it did not work out.
14:27I'm not.
14:28Lance wasn't the right guy.
14:30At least not for me.
14:32It is not always easy to find the right person, is it?
14:35No.
14:37Levi has not found anyone yet.
14:40I'm sure he will.
14:41He may even have to leave the district to find a life.
14:44It's hot.
14:45Are you hot?
14:46It is getting warmer.
14:49Hey, I was at the feed store and Henry told me that someone might have taken the coins.
14:53How did Henry know?
14:54We Amish might not have telephones, but we still hear what's happening.
14:57Well, that's not all.
14:58I stopped by Johnson's house this morning to talk to him.
15:00Someone tore open the wall in the other room, probably looking for more coins.
15:04I feel so bad.
15:05There's no time or money for that.
15:07Do we have any idea who might have done it?
15:09No.
15:10Come take a look.
15:12Hmm.
15:18Whoever stole the coins left a note saying that they were the rightful owners and to leave them alone.
15:24Twitchell is asking around about the volunteers.
15:27Would you let me help you with the scheduling?
15:29No, you don't have to do that.
15:31You're so busy at the farm.
15:32I know, but I want to help.
15:35Plus, there's no point in asking you and Mem not to go looking for the owners of the coins, so...
15:39You're right.
15:40There's not.
15:43If I were a coin thief, where would I sell them?
15:56When you're close to me, I find my pace.
16:02I've got a rhythm that makes your heart bad.
16:07How you listen, how you know what to say.
16:12Makes me wonder if you should just stay.
16:18Hi, Naomi.
16:19Just one minute.
16:20Take a few steps.
16:23It's the cross that fragile line.
16:28When I get you, I know your heart's true.
16:33This must be the sun.
16:37Good morning.
16:39Well, I'm glad you're here.
16:41Do you have time to drive me to a friend's house?
16:44Sure.
16:44Who is it?
16:45Fanny.
16:46Her arthritis has been flaring up, and I just wanted to check in on her.
16:50Come on.
16:51Let's go.
17:03Fanny.
17:05Hi.
17:07This is my friend Cheryl.
17:09She's running the Swiss Miss for her Aunt Mitzi.
17:12Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you.
17:14Oh, nice to meet you.
17:16Why don't you let me help you with this?
17:18Oh, not necessary.
17:20Well, I was hearing that your arthritis might be hurting you.
17:25Fasset.
17:27Cheryl is trying to solve a mystery, and I think you might be able to help her.
17:31Why don't the two of you go sit down?
17:35I read all the Miss Marple mysteries at least four times.
17:41Cheryl found some old letters from the war, and she's trying to figure out who wrote them.
17:47Oh, right.
17:48Oh, I face everything towards the house.
17:56You got it.
18:01Are you coming along, honey?
18:03Yeah.
18:07There you go.
18:08Oh.
18:17I think the person who wrote this letter might have been Amish.
18:22Hmm.
18:30You're right.
18:32He was.
18:34You knew him?
18:35His sister was my dearest friend growing up.
18:39We did everything together after our chores were done.
18:46It was a hard life.
18:48A hard time.
18:52But there are still good memories.
18:58Morning.
19:01This is my husband, Irving.
19:05Hi, Irving.
19:06I'm Cheryl.
19:07Hello, Irving.
19:09Fanny is helping us solve a mystery.
19:12Looks like to me she's got you working so she can gossip.
19:16Oh.
19:19Irving, grab yourself a muffin.
19:21I might just do that.
19:23Here you go.
19:28Now, where was I?
19:30Do you remember his name?
19:31I sure do.
19:33Frank Raver.
19:35You remember the Ravers?
19:38Yeah.
19:39They called him Pinky.
19:40Huh?
19:41Because of his red hair.
19:44Yes.
19:45His sister Wanda, she died ten years ago.
19:49Not long after Frank.
19:52Oh.
19:52I thought the Amish couldn't serve in the military.
19:56Well, when Frank was drafted, he could have claimed conscientious objector status.
20:02Nope.
20:03But he chose to go to war instead.
20:08He was a medic.
20:10Remember?
20:10Frank used to send his paychecks back home to his family.
20:14Huh-huh.
20:15We found this letter in a jar of coins.
20:20During the Depression, people, they didn't trust paper money.
20:26Mm-mm.
20:27They probably cashed those checks for coins.
20:30Mm-mm.
20:31So they were saving that.
20:33Could have been.
20:36His mammon new husband, they died in a bucky accident a few months before Frank made it back home.
20:48Such a tragedy.
20:50Hmm.
20:51Does he have any family left alive?
20:54His nephew, Leonard, is still around.
20:57He inherited that old house that Johnson bought before he got behind on taxes and lost it.
21:04Hmm.
21:05As I recall, Frank had a daughter in Columbus.
21:11Mm-mm.
21:11Oh.
21:12You've been very helpful.
21:14Thank you for your time.
21:16And, uh, thank you, Naomi, for all the help.
21:21Of course.
21:22And the muffins.
21:24Here we come.
21:28Bye, Dan.
21:29Oh, uh, be sure to tell me what you find.
21:33I'd like to know if your mystery ends as well as my Miss Marple Brooks.
21:40I sure will.
21:42Goodbye.
21:43Bye.
21:44Bye.
21:47What about Leonard Raver?
21:49You think he could be a suspect?
21:52Everyone knows Leonard is not good with money.
21:54He has big ideas but very little follow-through.
21:58Is he Amish, too?
22:00He's as he is.
22:02But I rarely see him come to services.
22:05Amish is what he knows.
22:08But I do not think it is in his heart.
22:10That can happen with any religion.
22:12Yes, it can.
22:15After work, we should go see what Leonard can tell us about this.
22:19Good idea.
22:25There is Leonard.
22:34Hello, Mr. Raver.
22:36Naomi.
22:38What do you want?
22:40We would like to talk to you about your Uncle Frank.
22:43This is my friend Cheryl.
22:46Hi.
22:48Flair is inside.
22:59Come, Rai.
23:02Come in.
23:04Mind, I wasn't expecting you.
23:06They're not here to judge your cleaning.
23:08That is a good thing.
23:15Come in.
23:16Come in.
23:23I have some V-mail that may have been from Frank's time at war.
23:28What is V-mail?
23:30It stands for Victory Mail.
23:33It's letters that were sent between soldiers and their loved ones during World War II.
23:38Could be.
23:39It looks like his scrawl, yeah?
23:41We found the letters in the house that your family used to own, which is now being renovated into a
23:45women's shelter.
23:47The government robbed me of that house.
23:50Oh.
23:54Stephen, turn that off.
23:56I'm on my rum, Springer.
23:57Yes, we know.
23:58You must still be respectful while you're in the house.
24:01Say so good.
24:02We have guests.
24:04Whatever.
24:07I am sorry.
24:08Please continue.
24:10That's okay.
24:11Along with the letters, we found some old coins, but since then they were stolen.
24:16And you think it was me?
24:17Oh, no, that's not what I'm saying.
24:20We thought since you owned the home for a while that you might know the history.
24:24Well, my father inherited from my grandfather, and then I inherited the house from my father.
24:29Until they had kept up in my taxes.
24:31I lost it all over a few thousand dollars.
24:34That isn't right.
24:35That must have been very difficult for you.
24:39When they found those coins, I expect them to be returned to me.
24:49That was quite a reaction from Leonard.
25:01How did your visit with Leonard go?
25:03It was interesting.
25:09I will go get supper out.
25:11We will eat at 6.30.
25:13I'll come help you.
25:14Oh, that is not necessary.
25:16You two enjoy the evening.
25:20Shall we?
25:22Sure.
25:30If those coins go to Leonard, I'm afraid he's just going to waste the money.
25:34But Johnson, he would put it to good use.
25:38God will give you wisdom.
25:41He's helped you many times before.
25:43That is true.
25:44Although, I thought you didn't approve of our detective work.
25:48Why is that what you think?
25:51My only concern is for your safety.
25:53And for matters.
25:55Well, God will keep us safe.
26:00You got me.
26:10Whoa.
26:11Hi.
26:12Hey.
26:13Oh, it smells so good in here.
26:16What can I do to help?
26:17Ah, you can help Elizabeth finish setting the table.
26:20On it?
26:21I guess.
26:21Um, Cheryl, your purse is buzzing.
26:25Oh, sorry.
26:26I forgot.
26:27Let me just...
26:32I'll be right back.
26:33Sorry.
26:43Hello?
26:43I'm at a coin show in Akron and got this weird feeling that I should call you.
26:49I wouldn't normally think anything about it, but someone here is trying to move some pieces
26:55that could be yours.
26:57He seemed a little suspicious.
26:59What did he have?
27:00A couple of steel pennies, a handful of silver nickels from the early 40s, and some silver
27:06quarters also from the 30s and 40s.
27:10None of it.
27:11That valuable alone, but you put them all together and they're worth a significant amount.
27:17Did he sell them?
27:18Not yet.
27:20Gotta go.
27:22Thanks.
27:30Oh, sorry about that.
27:32Something wrong?
27:33That was Suzanne Marshall.
27:35What'd she want now?
27:36She thinks she saw someone trying to sell the coins.
27:40Come on, dinner is ready.
27:42Come on.
27:44Come on.
27:44Come on.
27:45Come on.
27:45Come on.
27:46Come on.
27:46Come on.
27:48Come on.
27:51Come on.
27:51Come on.
27:52Come on.
27:53Come on.
27:53What if it turns out to be a stolen treasure that was hidden in the wall?
27:56I've heard of people bearing treasure in their yards, but never in their walls.
28:01Ruben said he overheard a boy on Rumspringa saying he had treasure in a jar, but Ruben
28:07didn't know who he was.
28:08Levi, are any of Johnson's volunteers on Rumspringa?
28:11Brant Sorenson is.
28:13Brant came by the store when Chief Twitchell was there, and he was acting kind of odd.
28:17I saw him at Yoder's today.
28:19He said he got a job on a cargo ship.
28:21And he's going to go?
28:22Oh, yeah.
28:23Well, I've already paid him a nice bonus.
28:24Well, that makes sense.
28:25I read in the budget that Brant has a collection notice against him.
28:29He asked me if I was interested in going with him.
28:32Are you?
28:33No.
28:33I prefer to keep the ground at our feet.
28:37Were there any other volunteers on Rumspringa?
28:40No.
28:40Stephen Raber, but he's only volunteered for a day or two.
28:45Do you think I should tell Chief Twitchell what Ruben overheard?
28:48To put suspicion toward another Amish without more evidence is something we cannot advise you to do.
28:53Yes, but you are not Amish.
28:57You should follow what Gutt tells you.
29:00You should pray about it.
29:02Well, it doesn't seem like we'll be solving this mystery tonight.
29:05And I have a goat who's about to kid, so I should probably check on her.
29:08Levi, can you make sure the back gate is closed?
29:09I was going to go, but since you're going out, I will check.
29:17Levi is way too busy to take on my job with the volunteers.
29:21Oh, I would not worry about Levi.
29:23He loves to help people he cares about.
29:28I hope that you don't think that I mean anything by our friendship.
29:35It would not matter if you did.
29:37Levi is a good man.
29:39And he will make someone a good husband.
29:44He is a good man.
29:48I finally heard from Della.
29:49She is expecting us in the morning.
29:52Great.
29:53Maybe she can shed some light on those old green jars.
29:59Thank you for all of your help.
30:09Come in, come in.
30:11Welcome.
30:12Cheryl, good to see you, Naomi.
30:17Oh, your home is so charming.
30:19Thanks.
30:20I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
30:23I tell my kids I'll leave my house when I am dead and not the day before.
30:29I can see why.
30:31I understand you have some questions for me?
30:34We do.
30:35Does this look familiar to you?
30:38Oh, my, yes.
30:39Yes.
30:40My father used these jars in the pharmacy.
30:48Calium chloride.
30:50That's potassium chloride in German.
30:53My father was a first-generation immigrant.
30:56He wrote the labels in German so he could read them quickly.
30:59Do you have any idea what your father did with the jars when he was finished with them?
31:03Oh, now you are stirring memories that I haven't thought about in a very long time.
31:09There was an Amish man he would give the jars to from time to time.
31:13He and the man spoke German together, which was unusual because my parents would hide the fact they were German
31:20during the war.
31:21Do you happen to remember this Amish man's name?
31:26He had dark hair, he was slight framed, he had a stepson that served in World War II that he
31:34never got over.
31:35That sounds like Frank Reaver.
31:38Yeah, that's it.
31:39The stepson's name was Frank.
31:41I never could understand why old man Reaver wasn't proud of that young man.
31:48Frank did so much with his life.
31:50When he came back from the war, he went to medical school and became a doctor.
31:54Goodwill.
31:54So he left the church?
31:57The Amish church, yes.
31:58Frank said that he could serve more people with a little freedom.
32:03And his family never got past that.
32:06We heard that his mom and stepdad died before he returned.
32:09Quite tragically.
32:11You would think that the rest of the family would think differently after that, but they didn't.
32:16Frank moved on and got married and had children.
32:20Della, this has been a wonderful help.
32:23I don't think about that time much anymore.
32:27But I hope you find what you're looking for.
32:30You too.
32:31Thank you, Della.
32:33There, Della?
32:34Hey.
32:36This way.
32:37Do come back, please, to visit.
32:39That's so sweet of you.
32:41My pleasure.
32:42Have a good day.
32:43You too.
32:44Bye.
32:44Let's check Frank's obituary and find his children.
32:57Hi.
32:57How are you?
32:58We are well.
32:59How are you?
33:00Good.
33:01We got into new true crime books, if that's what you're looking for, Cheryl.
33:04No, not today.
33:06We're looking for an obituary or some other document that might tell us the relatives of
33:11someone who lived in Sugar Creek in the 1940s?
33:13Let me guess.
33:15You're looking for Frank Braber's family.
33:18How did you know that?
33:19We're not the first.
33:22We're not?
33:24Suzanne Marshall and then a young Amish man came by yesterday.
33:29This is what I gave them.
33:38That was too easy.
33:40Yeah.
33:50Well, I hope Susanna's wrong and someone isn't trying to sell those coins.
33:55Well, it looks like Linda Haven and her sister Anna are the rightful heirs.
33:58Last night I got a hold of Linda.
34:00She's going to come by today and look at the letters.
34:02Maybe she can tell us if the handwriting is her father's.
34:05Good.
34:17These letters are such a gift.
34:22My father never talked much about his experience in war.
34:28His family didn't make it very easy for him, but I never, I never imagined how lonely he
34:37must have felt.
34:39Where did you find these?
34:41I found them in the wall of a house that my friend is converting into a women's shelter.
34:45They were hidden in jars with coins from around the same time.
34:49It's very interesting.
34:53Unfortunately, while I was keeping the coins in my safe, someone broke in and stole them.
34:58But if we get them back, they belong to you and your sister.
35:02It's just me now.
35:03Oh, I'm sorry.
35:06I wish Anna had had a place to go like the women's shelter.
35:14If you find those coins, I'm sure that my father would be honored if he would use that money
35:22for the work at the shelter.
35:24It's very generous, Linda.
35:32Any idea when the house will be completed?
35:35I have volunteers ready, but we don't have enough funds to buy all the extra building supplies.
35:43You didn't even think I was crazy to think we could do this.
35:48I just hope I haven't wasted everybody's time.
35:50You must not think like that.
35:52Even when we are doing the will of good, it does not mean we don't experience opposition.
35:58Naomi is right, and I have a feeling we're going to find those coins soon.
36:03Don't look.
36:04I told you not to look.
36:08Or are we not supposed to look, Dan?
36:09Who's that man?
36:11That is Leonard Raber.
36:13His wife, Clara, works here to help pay the bills.
36:16And that's their son, Stephen.
36:22Recognize Stephen.
36:23He volunteered at the house a few times.
36:26Chief Twitchell said he found fingerprints, but there was no match in the system.
36:29Which means the thief could be Amish.
36:32Maybe we can get the chief to bring him in, get his fingerprints.
36:35I do not want to believe that it could be one of us who did this.
36:38But don't you want to know the truth?
36:40Of course I do.
36:46Take Naomi to find Chief Twitchell.
36:49Tell him we need to get Stephen Waver's fingerprints.
36:53On it.
36:54Where are you going?
36:55To follow Stephen.
36:57He might be in need of those coins.
37:00Yes.
37:26Johnson, he's at the house.
37:27Bring Twitchell to me.
37:38Stephen, I just want to talk to you.
37:40You're alive.
37:41I found Frank's heir.
37:43It's his daughter Linda.
37:44Tell me where you hid the rest.
37:45What makes you think there's more?
37:47There has to be more.
37:48Now tell me where you hid the rest.
37:49I don't know.
37:54Stephen.
37:54You okay?
37:55He's getting away.
37:56Why does it feel like you're not listening to me?
37:58I told Naomi and Johnson to go get you.
38:00You should have waited on me.
38:01You're right.
38:02I should have.
38:03We'll go, okay.
38:03Carry on.
38:07He's right.
38:08If anything happens, he's right.
38:09I thought the Amish weren't supposed to be dangerous.
38:12Stephen Waver is not thinking about being an Amish at this moment.
38:14I guess not.
38:15Are you all right?
38:16Yes, but I'm glad you got here when you did.
38:19Where did you find Levi?
38:20We didn't find him.
38:21I went to your house to check on you, and when you weren't there, I...
38:25Who came here?
38:26I'm glad you did.
38:27Me too.
38:36Did you find the coins he took?
38:38No, but I'm going to go inside and search the house.
38:41Okay.
38:41Oh, no, no.
38:42You stay right here.
38:43I don't want any questions about the evidence being tamperable.
38:46But if I were you, I would look for a backpack.
38:50I don't know how I did anything before you got here.
38:52I think he might be coming around.
38:55This is one time I was actually happy that she checked out your office.
38:58Me too.
38:59Don't tell Twitch if I said that.
39:01All right, we have the evidence.
39:03I'm curious.
39:05How did you know that it was Stephen who took him?
39:07Well, we found out that an Amish family lived here during World War II.
39:10Their son, Frank Raber, wrote those letters while he was away at war, and then he sent
39:15his money home to his family.
39:16Most likely they cashed the checks for coins.
39:19People thought that those were more secure during them.
39:22Frank's mother and his stepfather did not agree with his decision to go to war, so instead
39:26of spending the money...
39:27they hid them inside the walls, and they kept them there for over 80 years.
39:32Frank's mother and stepfather died before they could give him the coins.
39:35So Stephen thought that they belonged in.
39:37And if Johnson hadn't tried to save this house, it never would have been discovered.
39:42Frank Raber's daughter Linda wants to donate the coins to help finish the renovations.
39:46So, in a way, coins will stay with the house after all.
39:52Good.
39:54Officer Nick.
40:01I found a buyer for the coins.
40:06You did.
40:07And because I like what you're doing here, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going
40:13to waive my commission.
40:16That is such a blessing.
40:18But don't tell anyone.
40:20Oh.
40:21I don't want to get that kind of reputation.
40:23Your secret is safe.
40:34Hey, Cheryl.
40:36We're getting calls from people all over wanting to support what we're doing because
40:39they saw your article.
40:41What?
40:41Yeah.
40:42I think we're going to be able to open sooner than we thought.
40:45That's wonderful.
40:48See Cindy over there?
40:49No, where is she?
40:50Hi, Johnson.
40:51Looks great.
40:53Cindy!
40:54Hi, Cindy.
40:56Hi, Phil.
41:00Hello.
41:00We're not going to be able to fix every problem or heal every wound.
41:05But when we show compassion and serve others, when we show up for each other, we become the
41:11hands and feet of God, right where we are.
