00:10Where did he put my purse?
00:12It has to be here.
00:17Nothing here.
00:21Where is it I have to get out of here?
00:24Ellen?
00:27Where are you going?
00:30To visit my sister.
00:32But now that you're home, I'll...
00:35I'll fix you dinner.
00:39You were sneaking out.
00:41I wasn't sneaking.
00:43No, I wasn't sneaking. I was just trying to catch a bus.
00:48Who is he?
00:51Bill.
00:53There isn't anyone else.
00:57You're lying.
00:58Let go of me!
01:00Let go of me!
01:01Ah.
01:29Thud video is a separate form of ran-bump.欧阳
01:44I'd like for the safe to go here.
01:47All right.
01:50That's funny.
01:52What?
01:53The steps are supposed to be every 16 inches, maybe two feet on older walls.
01:58What does that mean?
02:00That means we're going to have to open it up and see what we have going on back there.
02:03Okay.
02:04Well, I'll leave you to it.
02:18Cheryl?
02:19Be right there.
02:21You're not going to believe what's back here.
02:22Why?
02:23What is it?
02:24It's one of those old laundry sheets.
02:26You know this place used to be a house?
02:28Yeah.
02:31I wonder who this belongs to.
02:35I don't know.
02:38It's been in there a while.
02:43Yeah, I'm going to have to hold a shoe and install some two-by-four studs to support the safe.
03:01Ellen Streeter.
03:03What does that name ring about?
03:06I can't place it.
03:18I'm going to try to find out what happened to Ellen Streeter.
03:35I'm going to try to find out what happened to Ellen Streeter.
03:48My love, I feel like I've been living in the dark all these years.
03:52It was you that gave me hope that there was light beyond this darkness.
03:57I have little money that I've saved through the years.
04:01With God's help, it will be enough to start a new life.
04:05Even if that is without you.
04:09I want you to know that I love you.
04:12I pray you're reading this and I was not murdered.
04:16Murdered?
04:18Either way, you'll know that I loved you to the end.
04:22Love, Ellen.
04:35What happened to you, Ellen Streeter?
04:40Hey, good to see you.
04:42Ellen does not think anything is good.
04:45Why?
04:46What's wrong?
04:47She is worried about Lydia.
04:49She went to visit her family in Columbus.
04:50She did not go to visit.
04:52She went to stay.
04:53You do not know that.
04:55Isn't that the point of Rumspringa?
04:56To try out a different life?
04:58You never know.
04:59She might come back.
05:00I pray you are right.
05:02Well, I know something that'll take your mind off Lydia.
05:06Does the name Ellen Streeter mean anything to you?
05:09It looks like she lived right here.
05:11No, I knew the Barnes who lived here before your Aunt Mitzi and Uncle Ralph bought the place
05:17and converted it into the store.
05:19Chuck and I found her things in an old laundry chute in the wall.
05:22Looks like it was covered over a long time ago.
05:25This license is 40 years old.
05:27And I found a note in her purse.
05:29It said, I hope you're reading this letter and I wasn't murdered.
05:35Do you think she was murdered?
05:36I have no idea, but I plan to find out.
05:42I'm going to take those boxes down to the basement.
05:44I will have Levi come by.
05:47You don't need to do that.
05:53Hey, Chief.
05:55I wanted to let you know that I happened upon a lost purse.
06:01Fill this out.
06:03If someone comes asking for it, I'll call you.
06:05I think they lost it 40 years ago.
06:09I'm sure whoever was looking for it has stopped by now.
06:12I think it belongs to Ellen Streeter.
06:15Her driver's license is still in the wallet.
06:17And what is it you want from me?
06:20Could you see if there are any police reports about her?
06:23She used to live in the Swiss Miss back when it was still a house.
06:26Don't tell me.
06:28You're afraid she died there.
06:45What is it?
06:47There is a death report at that address, but it's not Ellen.
06:52It's a Bill Streeter.
06:54Probably was her husband.
06:56Said he died falling down the stairs.
07:01It was ruled an accident.
07:15I feel like there's more to your story, Ellen.
07:24Hey!
07:25Yeah, just dropping off some supplies.
07:28Hey, by the way, I talked to a coin expert.
07:31That guy I knew back in the day.
07:32He said that coin is worth ten grand easy.
07:36Ten thousand dollars?
07:37Now I really need to find Ellen Streeter.
07:40Well, you know, some people would just put that money in their pocket and not say another word.
07:47Oh, hi.
07:49Hey, Levi.
07:50Chuck.
07:51Thanks, Chuck.
07:55Madam said you needed some help.
07:56I hope it's not too much trouble.
07:58Not at all.
07:59It's just these boxes that need to go down to the basement.
08:02Okay.
08:04But, while we're down there, maybe you could look around a bit?
08:07For what?
08:08I don't know, a faux wall or somewhere you could hide a body.
08:12I've never mentioned anything about a body.
08:14Because there probably isn't one.
08:16I'm sure there isn't one.
08:17It's just that Ellen Streeter, the woman I'm looking for, thought that someone was trying to kill her.
08:21I want to know if her body was still there when they covered up those walls.
08:31Watch your head.
08:32You can just put them right there.
08:38Take that for it.
08:40Thanks.
08:45Well, there's no false walls down here.
08:51It's all rock.
08:54Do you think someone could be buried in there?
08:56No.
08:57The foundation is all original to the house.
09:08Oh, fuck!
09:11You weren't afraid, were you?
09:13No.
09:15Maybe a little.
09:19There's one more box upstairs.
09:22Yeah.
09:24Hey, a customer was telling me about this really nice, gentle horse that's available for adoption at the Cummings Farm.
09:30If you need one.
09:32My horses are all still pretty young, but I'll keep an ear out if I hear anyone looking for one.
09:35Can you believe somebody is just giving a horse away?
09:38Well, I'm probably just trying to find a nice home for her.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Wish I had a place.
09:43Think Aunt Mitzi would let me keep a horse in the house?
09:46Probably not.
09:47Probably not.
09:50Thanks.
09:56101 East Main Street, Bill Streeter.
10:04Amos Streeter.
10:06Must be his brother.
10:09Amos Streeter.
10:14Let's see where you live, Mr. Streeter.
10:24Let's see where you live, Mr. Streeter.
10:29This must be it.
10:53Hello?
10:54Hello?
10:55Hi.
10:55I'm looking for Amos Streeter.
10:57I have some things that belong to his sister-in-law.
11:00Wait here.
11:09Amos?
11:10What do you want?
11:11I'm Cheryl.
11:13I run the Swiss Miss.
11:14I found some belongings of Ellen Streeter's over there.
11:18Okay.
11:27Please.
11:32I found Ellen's things behind an old wall in a laundry chute.
11:36I wanted to ask you about this coin.
11:39Her father gave her that before he passed away.
11:42Well, I understand it has some real value, which is why I wanted to find Ellen if she's still alive.
11:50What are you talking about?
11:52Well, I also found a note in the wallet, and it suggested that Ellen might have been in some real
11:58danger.
12:00She called me after Bill died and said she was sorry.
12:04But that's the last I heard.
12:06And you haven't talked to her since?
12:09Why would I?
12:11You know, that's the problem with this town.
12:13There's too many people sticking their noses in other people's business.
12:18The only reason I came back here is to take care of my sister.
12:25Well, if anything comes to mind, you know where to find me.
12:48Hand over all the dolls!
12:50Matt!
12:51You scared me!
12:52Yeah, well, I've had practice.
12:53Oh.
12:55You look great!
12:56Oh, thanks.
12:57Right back at you.
12:58I guess Sugar Creek agrees with you.
13:00I guess so.
13:01What are you doing here?
13:03I'm here for your birthday.
13:05Surprise!
13:05Why didn't Mom and Dad say anything?
13:08Because they, uh, don't know.
13:11Oh, boy.
13:12Happy birthday to me.
13:14It'll be fine.
13:15I'm here to show them that I've landed on my feet.
13:17I always knew you would.
13:19So, can I crash with you?
13:21Uh, at Aunt Mincy's?
13:22Yeah, of course.
13:23That'll be so much fun.
13:24Um, are you hungry?
13:25Do you even need to ask?
13:26I'm always hungry.
13:28Well, I'll treat you to lunch.
13:29Just give me five minutes.
13:30Perfect.
13:31I need to check my email.
13:32Office is right through there.
13:34Don't mess up my desk.
13:35You look like I'm 12.
13:37I'm way more than 12.
13:45Matt, I told you not to touch my stuff.
13:48No, you said don't mess up my desk.
13:52Okay, jeez.
13:54Hey, this letter.
13:55What's up with this?
13:57Seems a little suspicious.
13:59I found it hidden in this old laundry chute inside the wall.
14:03Huh.
14:04Uh, so, if she was murdered, do you get to keep the coin?
14:09Matt!
14:10What?
14:11I'm just saying, it seems like it could be worth something.
14:13It is.
14:14But please, don't mention this to Mom and Dad.
14:17I don't think they would approve of any of this.
14:20Hmm, no way.
14:21You are the golden child.
14:23Not anymore.
14:24That was before I came to Sugar Creek.
14:26Now I've joined you in the ranks of misguided children.
14:29Hmm.
14:30Uh, speaking of misguided, you promised me lunch?
14:33Right.
14:34Lunch first.
14:35Then I should probably drop you off at Aunt Mitzi's.
14:37Mom and Dad are meeting me here at five.
14:40Oh, noted.
14:41Yeah.
14:42Get my purse.
14:51Mom, Dad, hey!
14:52Hey.
14:53Up here.
15:00Come on in.
15:02So, the counter used to be over here, and then I added these tables.
15:06Looks great, honey.
15:07Esther, this is my mom, Ginny, and my dad, Greg.
15:10It is so nice to meet you both.
15:11Hello.
15:12Nice to meet you.
15:13Yeah.
15:14Isn't she awfully young to be working?
15:16Sometimes I forget how young she is.
15:18She's so responsible and such a huge help around here.
15:22Speaking of, this is Esther's mother.
15:24This must be the famous Naomi.
15:26Cheryl goes on and on about you.
15:28Aw.
15:29No, not famous, but I am glad to finally meet you both.
15:33Great to meet you.
15:34And we look forward to having you over to the house tomorrow to celebrate Cheryl's birthday.
15:39That's very kind of you.
15:41That reminds me.
15:42There will be one more person joining us for dinner tomorrow, if that's okay.
15:45Of course it is.
15:46Who is it?
15:49Matt.
15:50Matt.
15:51Your brother?
15:53Surprise!
15:57Um, Esther and I need to get going, but we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
16:03We can't wait.
16:04Mm-hmm.
16:05Bye.
16:06Bye.
16:10Matt's doing great.
16:12He's really excited to see you both.
16:14Good.
16:14This is going to be good.
16:17We've had a long trip.
16:18Why don't we go back to the hotel and get, uh...
16:20That's a good idea.
16:21Good night.
16:25Great to see you, too.
16:32Hi, Aunt Mitzi.
16:34Oh, Cheryl.
16:35It is always so good to see you.
16:38How's everything going back at home?
16:40Everything is good.
16:41And we do have a new mystery.
16:43Oh, do tell.
16:45Well, I'm having a wall safe installed in the office.
16:48Oh, that's smart.
16:49And inside the wall, we found an old laundry chute.
16:52Well, I'm not surprised.
16:53You know it was a house when your uncle and I bought it.
16:55Yes, but there's more.
16:57Inside the old laundry chute, I found the belongings of a woman named Ellen Streeter.
17:01Ellen Streeter?
17:03I'm hoping to find her and return her things.
17:05They must have lived there 40 years ago.
17:08Apparently, her husband Bill fell down the stairs and died.
17:11Oh, my.
17:13Excitement does seem to follow you.
17:15And I have a surprise guest for the weekend.
17:18Just come over here.
17:22Hey, Aunt Mitzi.
17:23How's New Guinea treating you?
17:25Matt, look at you all grown up.
17:28I gotta be honest.
17:29It's a little weird being here without you.
17:32Oh, I have so many good memories of you and Cheryl visiting in the summers.
17:37Yeah, those are some good times.
17:39Yeah.
17:39I wish I were there.
18:02The suitcase.
18:05No.
18:07No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:09My gosh.
18:10No.
18:12Chuck, did you lock up when you left last night?
18:15Of course.
18:16I mean, I think so.
18:18Could anyone have come in here while you were working?
18:20I guess so.
18:21I was making some noise and I had my headphones on.
18:24What time was that?
18:25Around 11.
18:31Someone took Ellen Streeter's things.
18:36What about the coin?
18:38Coin's gone too.
18:39Did see a truck drive real slow past the shop.
18:41About 10 or so.
18:43I didn't think anything of it.
18:45I'm sorry.
18:46I come with coffee.
18:52Chuck, this is my brother, Matt.
18:54Chuck's doing some work for me.
18:56Hey.
18:56Hi.
18:57Um, here we go.
18:58Yeah, I brought some to mom and dad too.
19:01I wouldn't call it a warm welcome, but, uh, you know, dad tried.
19:06He put on his best pastor face.
19:09What's wrong?
19:11Ellen Streeter's things are gone.
19:15Oh, really?
19:16The mystery thickens.
19:18Hmm.
19:19Hey, Matt, you'd do me a favor?
19:20Sure.
19:21Could you take my bag and put it on my truck?
19:24It's the red one there on the side.
19:26Yeah, of course.
19:26You just throw it in the back.
19:27Sure.
19:28See?
19:29I am useful.
19:33The red one?
19:34Yeah.
19:35Cool.
19:37You see that black truck?
19:40That's the one I saw last night.
19:47Oh, the farm is much bigger than I expected.
19:50Look at the little goat in the yard.
20:01Oh, shoot.
20:03Oh, shoot.
20:06Hey, Levi.
20:08This is my mom and dad, Ginny and Greg Cooper.
20:11Nice to meet you all.
20:12Nice to meet you.
20:13Great place.
20:13And my brother, Matt.
20:14Thanks to meet you.
20:16Shall we?
20:17Sure.
20:17Sure.
20:24So what are you going to do?
20:26Can't call Twitchell.
20:27From what Chuck said, Matt is the main suspect.
20:31Who else could it be?
20:34Well, Chuck was there.
20:36I don't think he would do it either.
20:38Chuck and Matt are the only two who know about the coin.
20:42You may have to go to the police this time.
20:45I am 99% sure Matt wouldn't do it.
20:48Well, 98.
20:50Mm-hmm.
20:52There you go.
20:54You're welcome.
20:57Thank you all.
21:02Everything is delicious, Naomi.
21:04Aw.
21:05I had some help.
21:06Thank you, though.
21:07Marianne heard from Lydia.
21:09And?
21:10She said that Lydia is happy in her cousin's home, but she did not sound happy.
21:16Is she on Rum Spriga?
21:17Yes, but, um, I don't think we should talk about that.
21:20Oh, Cheryl, you worry too much about our feelings.
21:24I am more than happy to answer your questions, Ginny.
21:29Well, I've read that you encourage your children to go out and sin.
21:36In our church, we teach our children that sin is something to stay away from.
21:40Mom.
21:43I didn't send my children out into the street to teach them that it's dangerous.
21:49I understand how you feel.
21:51But there are so many children who walk away from their faith as they get older.
21:56Of course, our desire as parents is that they join the church.
22:00But that is their decision.
22:03One between them and Gutt.
22:05Not ours.
22:07Makes sense.
22:09I was expected to follow in my parents' footsteps, because they're pastors.
22:12But it wasn't until I got out into the world I started to realize why I needed a Savior.
22:18I think when I really gave my life to Christ, it was real.
22:22Do most stay in the church after they join?
22:24They do.
22:25And we believe it is because they were given the chance to choose.
22:28If they do decide to leave once they're part of the church, they'll be shunned, right?
22:34I have not seen any shunning for many years.
22:37It is way less prevalent today.
22:40Who's ready for cake?
22:42I am.
22:43Me too.
22:46The cake was delicious, Naomi.
22:56Do you like it?
22:57I do.
23:02Oh.
23:04Hello.
23:07So, I only added a few charms, so you can kind of pick your own.
23:10Or you could just tell me which charms you want.
23:13I thought we could add to it each year.
23:16It's perfect.
23:17I love it.
23:21Now for our gift.
23:22What?
23:23You don't have to do that.
23:25Would everyone join me outside?
23:27And I will get the lemonade.
23:30Here, close your eyes.
23:32Just, close your eyes.
23:37Good old stuff.
23:39Right?
23:41I think I trust you guys.
23:45What is it?
23:46Can I open my eyes now?
23:47You can open your eyes.
23:50Cheryl, be patient.
23:53Am I going for a ride?
23:55I hope for many.
23:58Patience is yours.
24:00What?
24:02This is the horse that you told me about.
24:04We discussed it with the family, and we're happy to board her here.
24:07So, she's yours to take for a ride whenever you want.
24:10That's too generous of you.
24:12Oh, well, it's easy for us.
24:14We have an empty stall and plenty of hay.
24:16I could barely keep the surprise from you.
24:18I was about to burst.
24:20We're glad you like her.
24:21You always wanted a horse.
24:22I love her.
24:29You didn't tell me about Levi.
24:32Levi's just a friend, Mom.
24:34As long as you know that's all he can ever be.
24:47I still can't believe it.
24:49I have a horse.
24:51Did you take a picture?
24:52Oh, yeah.
24:53I took like 20 pictures of you and your birthday horse.
24:56Can I see it?
24:56Um, yeah.
24:58I think I must have left my phone back there.
25:00Um, okay.
25:01I'll be right back.
25:02Okay.
25:21Okay, Matt.
25:23Where would you hide a coin?
25:25Okay.
25:39My phone was in the truck.
25:44Good.
25:45So if you're, you know, want to tell me what you're looking for, maybe I can just help you find
25:48it?
25:49No, Matt, I just...
25:50Just wanted to see if I was a thief or not?
25:53That's not it.
25:54But Chuck told me he saw your truck drive by the Swiss Miss last night, and I just wanted to
25:58prove it wasn't you.
26:00Have I ever stolen anything from you?
26:02No.
26:03Okay, well, you know, Chuck was right that he saw me drive by, but I couldn't sleep last night, so
26:07I just went for a drive.
26:10And when I saw lights on in the shop, I wanted to see what was going on.
26:13But I saw Chuck working.
26:14I figured everything was fine.
26:16Oh.
26:18I'm sorry.
26:20You think you can forgive me?
26:24No, I don't think so, unless I delete your horse photos.
26:28Wait, that's not fair.
26:30No, seriously, okay.
26:30Um, if you're done snooping around, I do need to call Leah back.
26:35Leah?
26:36Do you have a girlfriend?
26:38Oh, she's more than a girlfriend.
26:40She is my fiancée.
26:43What?
26:43Matt, you didn't say anything!
26:45Okay, well, we're definitely even now.
26:47I'm sorry.
26:48I just, I'm not ready to really open it up for discussion with Mom and Dad.
26:52Well, I can keep a secret.
26:57Since when?
27:00A job well done.
27:03It has a default code, so you'll need to set a new one.
27:06Thanks, Chuck.
27:08I wish I had gotten the safe before the coin was stolen.
27:11Yeah, I'm sure sorry about that.
27:12Thanks.
27:14Let me know if there's anything else that you need.
27:16I will.
27:18Bye, Chuck.
27:18Thanks, Chuck.
27:23I don't think it was Chuck.
27:24I don't either.
27:25And I'm 100% sure that it wasn't Matt.
27:28Who else could it be?
27:30I have no idea.
27:32Which is why I called Twitchell this morning and reported the coin is stolen.
27:35I think that is wise.
27:39Well, are you coming, men?
27:42Uh, not yet.
27:43Cheryl and I are going to go visit Maybelline.
27:46All right, well, see you later.
27:48Bye.
27:49Who is Maybelline?
27:52Maybelline Finn.
27:53I had asked her if she remembered the streeters, and she does.
27:58Maybe she'll know what happened to Ellen.
28:00Mm-hmm.
28:00Let us find out.
28:03Maybelline has been blind since she was just a child.
28:11Ellen was such a lovely young woman.
28:15It's hard for me to imagine why she married a man like Bill.
28:19Why?
28:20What was he like?
28:21Well, I know it's not polite to speak ill of the dead, but he was just awful.
28:29He would never let her out of his sight.
28:32She couldn't go out without him knowing what she was doing or where she was going.
28:39We lived right next door to Ellen, and she and my mother would chat over the fence.
28:47She confided in my mother.
28:50Bill would not have liked it if he knew what really good friends they were.
28:55Do you remember the night he died?
28:58I won't ever forget it.
29:01Not because of Bill's death, but I heard things that night that just didn't make sense.
29:09And when I asked my mom about it, she said I must have been mistaken.
29:18I think she knew what happened.
29:20I think she kept it a secret, even from me.
29:24You said you heard things?
29:27That night, I heard a car pull in to Bill and Ellen's.
29:35And a little bit later, a car left.
29:39There must have been a couple of hours that went by.
29:42And then a car arrived about 15 minutes before the police showed up.
29:50The story was that Amos came by to visit his brother Bill and found Bill at the bottom of the
29:57stairs.
29:59Amos said that Ellen had left Bill about a week earlier.
30:04But you don't think she did?
30:07Well, I heard Ellen and my mother talking just two days before Bill's death.
30:14And when I asked her about that,
30:19she said she hadn't.
30:24I think that's the only time my mother lied to me.
30:29You think Ellen was there, but she left before the police came?
30:34I am blind, but I have excellent hearing.
30:40Do you think Ellen could have killed Bill before she left town?
30:45Ellen was not the type of person to do something like that.
30:50I'm afraid we may never know what really happened that night.
30:55I spoke to Bill's brother, Amos.
30:58He says Ellen is still alive.
31:00Do you think he's telling the truth?
31:03I'm not sure.
31:04But why would he lie?
31:07Lunch is ready.
31:09I have something I want to show to Cheryl first.
31:14It's right over here.
31:35It's just like the one in Ellen's purse.
31:39She made it for my mom.
31:42Ellen loved lilacs.
31:45It's beautiful.
31:57I smell something delicious.
31:59Yes.
32:01Fresh bread.
32:02Mm-hmm.
32:03My friends take care of me.
32:06We do what we can,
32:08but it's Chuck that does most of the heavy lifting around here.
32:14Yes, he is very good to me.
32:17He's coming by later to do some painting.
32:23He says something in the house needs to be touched up.
32:31Why are you smiling?
32:34Maybelline and Chuck were once in love,
32:37but Maybelline didn't want to burden Chuck with her disability,
32:41so she told him that she had fallen for someone else
32:44so that he would leave her.
32:47But I believe she regrets her decision
32:49and realized that she turned a love away,
32:53a love that would have given them both happiness.
32:56Does Chuck know?
32:57No.
32:58And she made me promise not to tell.
33:01Well, you just told me.
33:02I did not promise not to tell you,
33:05and you did not promise not to tell anyone.
33:21Come on.
33:22Hmm.
33:23Good news.
33:25We found your coin.
33:27That was quick.
33:28We got lucky.
33:30He sold it to some guy in Akron.
33:32We're still trying to find out who he is.
33:35Recognize him?
33:37I've never seen him before.
33:41No, sorry.
33:44No.
33:45Okay.
33:46Well, we'll post this around town.
33:48Someone must know who he is.
33:50Keep the picture in the meantime.
33:53Do you think he'll come back?
33:55I doubt it.
33:57But you never know.
34:00Good day, ladies.
34:02Excuse me.
34:03Thanks.
34:06I can't believe it.
34:08It's my fault.
34:09Chuck, what's your fault?
34:10Remember when I told you that I checked with someone about the value of the coin?
34:14Yeah?
34:15That's him.
34:17He lives in Akron.
34:19We met a couple years ago at a coin convention.
34:22We've been passing emails back and forth since then.
34:26And I had no idea he would do something like this.
34:29Well, thankfully, we found the coin.
34:31And to be honest, I'm just glad it wasn't someone I know.
34:39Still, I should never have told him.
34:46Chuck, hang on a second.
34:48Sure.
34:53This reminds me of a story.
34:56A story about a young man and a young woman who are madly in love.
35:01She had a problem.
35:03A problem she was afraid might ruin his life.
35:07So, she told him she was in love with someone else.
35:11But she wasn't.
35:13And all these years later, she still regrets telling him that.
35:28Bye, Chuck.
35:45Don't get mad.
35:47I talked to Lance, and he mentioned that he ran into someone at the bank.
35:52They fired the person who replaced you.
35:54Isn't that wonderful?
35:55Why would you talk to Lance?
35:57Honey, you know I think the world of Lance.
35:59He broke my heart.
36:01And he's very sorry.
36:02We all make mistakes.
36:04I thought you wanted a family.
36:06What does that have to do with anything?
36:08You're not in your 20s anymore.
36:10And if you haven't noticed, Sugar Creek is not exactly overflowing with eligible men.
36:15Dad lived here.
36:16She has a point.
36:17And he left.
36:19He knew there was no opportunity here.
36:22I want to help you.
36:23I don't want you to wake up one day and realize that your life has passed you by.
36:27She already has a cat.
36:29Not helpful, Matt.
36:34Excuse me.
36:38She wants me to stand by and watch her waste her life.
36:41She has so much potential.
36:43She still does.
36:44Has it occurred to you that she's happy?
36:46Matt, don't start.
36:47Real happiness rarely comes without responsibility.
36:50Yeah.
36:51Cheryl is like the epitome of responsibility.
36:54Just ask Aunt Mitzi.
36:55I wasn't talking about Cheryl.
36:57Oh.
36:58Right.
36:58Of course.
36:59Yeah.
37:00Back to me.
37:00Can you not even imagine the possibility that I've changed?
37:04How could I?
37:05When you don't come round enough for me to know anything about you.
37:08Okay.
37:08Well, here's something.
37:11I'm engaged.
37:12What?
37:13You're kidding me.
37:14You're marrying someone we haven't even met yet.
37:17Mm-hmm.
37:18Matt, you don't have a steady job.
37:20Yeah.
37:21Yeah, I don't have a job.
37:22No, I started my own business.
37:23And it's doing really well.
37:25What kind of business?
37:28You remember when I was always saying that there's an easier way for me to...
37:40You left me.
37:42Sorry.
37:42I just couldn't listen to them anymore.
37:45I think it's safe for you to come back in now.
37:47Why?
37:48Did Mom talk you into giving up your dreams, too?
37:51No.
37:52No, I wrote Dad a check for everything I've ever borrowed with interest.
37:58It felt pretty good.
38:01I know it's not about the money, but...
38:05Matt, do you think I'm ruining my life?
38:10Are you asking me for advice?
38:14I hate to admit it, but Mom's not wrong.
38:17I thought we'd be married by now.
38:20But Lance isn't right for me.
38:23For now, I just think...
38:25This is where I'm supposed to be.
38:28I know that doesn't make sense.
38:37I'm sorry about all that.
38:46We're sorry.
38:50Your dad pointed out that what you choose doesn't have to make sense to me as long as it does
38:55to you.
38:56It's hard to know when to stop parenting.
38:58You always came to me for advice.
39:01But now you two are grown, and you don't need me.
39:06That's not true.
39:07We still need you.
39:08Yeah, just not the same way we used to.
39:11I want what's best for you.
39:14And I'm gonna do my best and...
39:17Let go.
39:20We hope you both can forgive us.
39:23Of course we can.
39:25Get in here.
39:43Warren, Miss Cooper?
39:44Hey, Chief.
39:46Well, I think I got some good news for you.
39:48Oh, yeah?
39:49Thanks to the information that Chuck gave us, the Akron police picked up the guy in the photo, and he's
39:55been charged.
39:56Did they say what he did with the other things?
39:58He said he didn't take them.
40:01So what?
40:02There were two robberies on the same night?
40:04Have you thought about getting a security system?
40:07What if someone taking them had something to do with whatever happened here 40 years ago?
40:12Has anything changed?
40:14No.
40:15Then leave it alone.
40:17That's in the past.
40:27What happened, Helen?
40:37Of course.
40:48If you weren't hiding something, why would you lie?
40:52Because Bill told everyone that he kept Ellen inside to protect her.
40:56That she was a danger to herself.
40:59So Ellen was there the night Bill died.
41:03And you went over to the house, found him dead, and helped Ellen get away?
41:13You're Ellen's streeter.
41:16And you're the man she loved.
41:21When my brother must have sensed that Ellen was planning to leave, he put her things inside that old chute.
41:31Then he came back later that evening and found that she was ready to leave.
41:37Oh, he was so furious.
41:39There isn't anyone else.
41:43You're lying.
41:44Let go of me!
41:49I tried to help him, but he died instantly.
41:54I was afraid the police would think she'd done it, so I told her I'd come pick her up and
41:58take her to the bus station in Canton.
42:01How did you figure it out?
42:03Maybelline Finn told me that she had heard a car pulling up, but that it had left before the police
42:09came.
42:10But it wasn't until I smelled Ellen's sachet that I remembered the handkerchief that Maybelline showed me.
42:18You made that for Maybelline's mother, didn't you?
42:19Yeah.
42:21And the flowers on that match the flowers on your pillows.
42:26Did Maybelline's mother know what happened that night?
42:29She saw Amos drag me away, but she never told anyone.
42:33Why did you take the person's suitcase from my office?
42:36If you had told me you knew where Ellen was, I would have given them to you.
42:40I panicked.
42:42I hope you'll forgive me.
42:44Of course I can forgive you.
42:47And when that coin turns up, it belongs to you.
42:49Ellen.
42:50Oh, thank you.
42:53It has sentimental value.
42:55If I were you, I would tell Chief Twitchell the truth.
42:58Bill's death was already ruled as an accident, and after 40 years, he's not going to want to reopen this
43:04case.
43:05You're sure?
43:06Trust me.
43:07He doesn't want the paperwork.
43:17Did you enjoy your time with your family?
43:18I did.
43:19I'm glad they got to see my life here.
43:21It might not be exactly what they envisioned for me, but I think they're starting to accept that I'm right
43:27where God wants me to be.
43:30Family is a blessing from God.
43:32Yeah.
43:33You ready?
43:34Let's go.
43:39Family isn't always perfect.
43:41It's messy and complicated.
43:44But it's also one of God's greatest gifts.
43:48And when we lean into love, even broken places can be mended.
43:53Family is also wonderful.
43:56We're here.
44:06We're here.
44:10We're here.
44:13We're here.
44:15We're here.
44:16We're here.
44:18We're here.
