| 00:00:06 |
And you have everything, right? |
| 00:00:15 |
Work hard, Elijah. |
| 00:00:17 |
April 2, 2007 |
| 00:00:25 |
Wow. That looks nice. |
| 00:00:28 |
Looks bigger than the one they tore down. |
| 00:00:30 |
- Sure put it up fast. |
| 00:00:33 |
Boys, wait for your sister. |
| 00:00:38 |
Hi. Hey. Hello. Rebecca. |
| 00:00:41 |
Look at you, getting around so well. |
| 00:00:44 |
I've been practicing. |
| 00:00:46 |
Well, have a wonderful day at school. |
| 00:00:49 |
I know things won't be the same, but... |
| 00:01:02 |
Thanks for coming in on your day off |
| 00:01:05 |
Are you kidding me? |
| 00:01:08 |
I've never had a story hit me so hard. |
| 00:01:13 |
It's changed how I see everything. |
| 00:01:23 |
Six Months Earlier |
| 00:01:39 |
Such a racket on a Sunday, Rebecca. |
| 00:01:43 |
- Sorry. I'll knock quietly next time. |
| 00:01:46 |
I'll not hold my breath. |
| 00:01:48 |
Good Sunday, Mary Beth. |
| 00:01:51 |
She truly is |
| 00:01:54 |
Ah. You forget what you were like before |
| 00:01:58 |
I was never a horse. |
| 00:01:59 |
Oh, no. More like a hopping, |
| 00:02:04 |
Now look at you... |
| 00:02:07 |
Barely a feather left. |
| 00:02:10 |
Bet I could still fly if I wanted to. |
| 00:02:13 |
I've no doubt. |
| 00:02:18 |
Does this mean you're going |
| 00:02:21 |
- Do you think I'm ready? |
| 00:02:26 |
We're going to help Dat set up the barn! |
| 00:02:30 |
Oh, boy! |
| 00:02:32 |
Now, your sister... she's a half-blind colt. |
| 00:02:34 |
Mmm-hmm. |
| 00:02:38 |
Move along, girls. |
| 00:02:48 |
Whoa. |
| 00:02:51 |
Wie geht's, Isaac? |
| 00:02:54 |
Where's Rebecca? |
| 00:02:56 |
No, no. She's been a big help. |
| 00:03:08 |
- Hi. |
| 00:03:10 |
Good Sunday. |
| 00:03:12 |
No bean chowder? |
| 00:03:14 |
Good. Chowder with Isaac doesn't agree. |
| 00:03:16 |
It doesn't sit well with Gideon either. |
| 00:03:19 |
I got a package from Emma. Look. |
| 00:03:23 |
Look. Her boys are taller than she is now. |
| 00:03:30 |
She's my sister. And was a friend to you. |
| 00:03:35 |
She's shunned, Ida. |
| 00:03:38 |
You shouldn't open her letters. |
| 00:03:46 |
Good Sunday. |
| 00:03:49 |
Hannah and Jacob |
| 00:04:00 |
- She's so beautiful. |
| 00:04:02 |
- Want to come with me? |
| 00:04:05 |
- Can we come too? |
| 00:04:07 |
Well, I mean, if they really want to come, |
| 00:04:12 |
But they annoy me. |
| 00:04:14 |
Well, then, we'll just have to |
| 00:04:18 |
Have you heard Rebecca sing? |
| 00:04:20 |
Oh. |
| 00:04:25 |
I went to the horse auction this week. |
| 00:04:29 |
And an English man said to me... |
| 00:04:32 |
"Why do you keep yourselves separate"? |
| 00:04:36 |
Well... |
| 00:04:38 |
I will tell you what I told him. |
| 00:04:41 |
"We are separate so that we do not stray". |
| 00:04:46 |
"Someone who boasts |
| 00:04:48 |
"must walk in the path of Christ". |
| 00:04:51 |
Then he said to me... |
| 00:04:53 |
"Can you not walk in the path |
| 00:04:58 |
I said, "Well, that would be |
| 00:05:05 |
How can we keep our minds on God... |
| 00:05:07 |
if we're distracted by worldly pursuits? |
| 00:05:11 |
The answer is, "We cannot". |
| 00:05:14 |
We keep our lives simple so that our path |
| 00:05:19 |
and not cluttered with obstacles. |
| 00:05:22 |
Let us lift our voices now... |
| 00:05:24 |
in expectation of arriving |
| 00:05:29 |
# Safe in the arms # |
| 00:05:32 |
# Of Jesus # |
| 00:05:36 |
# Safe on his gentle breast # |
| 00:05:43 |
# There lie His love # |
| 00:05:46 |
# Overshared # |
| 00:05:50 |
# Sweetly my soul # |
| 00:05:53 |
# Doth rest # |
| 00:05:57 |
# Hark, 'tis a song |
| 00:06:03 |
# Borne in the sweetest voice # |
| 00:06:11 |
# Echoed by saints in spirit # |
| 00:06:17 |
# Making my heart rejoice # |
| 00:06:27 |
- Kick it hard, Katie! |
| 00:06:29 |
Hyah! |
| 00:06:45 |
I got it! |
| 00:06:47 |
Children, time to wash up for supper. |
| 00:06:55 |
Lass uns essen! |
| 00:07:10 |
Mom, after we eat, will you tell |
| 00:07:15 |
I will... if you go talk to Teacher Ruth. |
| 00:07:20 |
- I will. |
| 00:07:23 |
God is with us... |
| 00:08:03 |
- It's the, uh... |
| 00:08:07 |
- You know, I hear they're building a new house. |
| 00:08:09 |
- Oh, the people across the street? |
| 00:08:12 |
Teacher Ruth, I was wondering... |
| 00:08:14 |
Are you finally gonna ask her |
| 00:08:16 |
Katie, you little spiller! |
| 00:08:18 |
It's all right, Mary Beth. |
| 00:08:20 |
I think the whole settlement knows |
| 00:08:24 |
No, I don't want to be teacher yet. |
| 00:08:27 |
I'm only 14. I know I'm not old enough. |
| 00:08:30 |
But I would like to start helping... |
| 00:08:32 |
just so that I could be ready |
| 00:08:34 |
Well, I'd love the help. |
| 00:08:36 |
In fact, if you hadn't asked me, |
| 00:08:41 |
Truly? |
| 00:08:42 |
You'll make a wonderful teacher. |
| 00:08:45 |
Thank you. |
| 00:09:18 |
There you are. |
| 00:09:21 |
Dad just called. He wants to know |
| 00:09:24 |
Um, just one more day. |
| 00:09:26 |
Okay. Can you call him |
| 00:09:31 |
Are you gonna call him and tell him? |
| 00:09:34 |
Could you call him? I want to catch |
| 00:09:39 |
Okay. Okay. |
| 00:09:42 |
Where's Daddy going? |
| 00:09:45 |
He go night-night? He going night-night. |
| 00:09:49 |
Now, Dirk refused |
| 00:09:52 |
so they locked him up |
| 00:09:54 |
until one cold, bitter night, |
| 00:09:59 |
Only one of the guards saw him, |
| 00:10:02 |
So Dirk was running as fast as he could |
| 00:10:05 |
until, all of a sudden, |
| 00:10:08 |
and he turned around |
| 00:10:10 |
crashing through the ice |
| 00:10:12 |
Well, Dirk knew that |
| 00:10:15 |
and he also knew that this was |
| 00:10:19 |
But he turned around, he went back... |
| 00:10:23 |
and he pulled that guard |
| 00:10:26 |
But what happened to Dirk? |
| 00:10:29 |
Well, it's really sad. |
| 00:10:32 |
- They burned him at the stake. |
| 00:10:36 |
- You're such a baby, Hannah. |
| 00:10:38 |
- Yeah, you are. |
| 00:10:40 |
Don't worry, Hannah. He died in peace... |
| 00:10:44 |
because he knew that |
| 00:10:47 |
So he went straight up to heaven to live |
| 00:10:50 |
Okay. So who wants |
| 00:10:53 |
Tell the one about the angels. |
| 00:10:58 |
Daddy, Mom says it's time |
| 00:11:12 |
Do they fit? |
| 00:11:14 |
- Danke. |
| 00:11:17 |
No. No, these |
| 00:11:21 |
But... Please? |
| 00:11:25 |
Well... |
| 00:11:28 |
We'll see what your mom says. |
| 00:11:30 |
Gideon, the milk truck is still outside. Maybe |
| 00:11:34 |
Danke. |
| 00:11:38 |
- Good one, Mama. |
| 00:11:40 |
Oh! They're lovely. |
| 00:11:43 |
What the hell? |
| 00:11:48 |
Damn you! |
| 00:11:51 |
Charlie. |
| 00:11:53 |
- Can I lend a hand? |
| 00:11:57 |
No, I'll get it. |
| 00:11:59 |
How are Amy and the children? |
| 00:12:08 |
Well, you let me know |
| 00:12:20 |
Katie... |
| 00:12:23 |
Katie was determined to sleep in her boots. |
| 00:12:26 |
I thought we were gonna |
| 00:12:37 |
What is this? |
| 00:12:40 |
Emma sent it. A gift. |
| 00:12:43 |
And you accepted it? She's shunned. |
| 00:12:46 |
I know. |
| 00:12:48 |
Then... what are you doing? |
| 00:12:52 |
She's my sister. I miss her. |
| 00:12:55 |
I was hoping... |
| 00:12:59 |
I want to visit her. |
| 00:13:01 |
I think you want more than that. |
| 00:13:03 |
Not for me. For Mary Beth. |
| 00:13:06 |
- She wants to be a teacher. |
| 00:13:10 |
Yes, but what if she chooses not to stay? |
| 00:13:12 |
To teach the English, |
| 00:13:14 |
She's so bright, Gideon. |
| 00:13:17 |
- Shouldn't we at least consider... |
| 00:13:19 |
It was the right choice for us, |
| 00:13:21 |
Will choose for herself |
| 00:13:24 |
By then it will be too late. She'll have |
| 00:13:27 |
Listen, Gideon. Emma has |
| 00:13:30 |
She said that Mary Beth |
| 00:13:33 |
- and see what it's like to go to an English school. |
| 00:13:36 |
I'm saying maybe we should try... |
| 00:13:38 |
- You want our daughter to be shunned too? |
| 00:13:40 |
You know she wouldn't be shunned. |
| 00:13:45 |
I just think she deserves |
| 00:13:48 |
More than what? |
| 00:13:51 |
She is a child of God. |
| 00:13:54 |
She is already everything |
| 00:14:01 |
It is Emma who is putting |
| 00:14:04 |
Emma who lives with outsiders, |
| 00:14:07 |
Oh, you mustn't talk to her anymore. |
| 00:14:09 |
Promise me, Ida... |
| 00:14:11 |
that you won't talk to Emma again. |
| 00:14:26 |
I don't deserve you. |
| 00:14:39 |
Mary Beth, I hope you're not going out |
| 00:14:43 |
Are you finished milking already? |
| 00:14:45 |
I'm sorry, Dat. I overslept. |
| 00:14:48 |
I tried to tell her it was time to get up. |
| 00:14:50 |
Well, the cows asked about you... |
| 00:14:53 |
but I told them you'd be back tomorrow. |
| 00:14:57 |
I can't tell if we're still |
| 00:15:00 |
We're not. |
| 00:15:04 |
An apple is not a proper breakfast. |
| 00:15:07 |
Here. Sit and eat. |
| 00:15:10 |
for your first day as teacher's helper. |
| 00:15:14 |
The first thing I'm going to do is |
| 00:15:18 |
Teacher Ruth says she's a little slow-headed |
| 00:15:22 |
You have a good heart... |
| 00:15:25 |
Teacher Mary Beth. |
| 00:15:34 |
All right. |
| 00:15:36 |
I'm off to my prayer meeting. |
| 00:15:39 |
The bus is coming in 15 minutes... |
| 00:15:41 |
so finish your breakfast |
| 00:15:43 |
Hey. |
| 00:15:45 |
Hey. |
| 00:15:48 |
Make sure you get a few hours of sleep |
| 00:15:51 |
Okay. |
| 00:16:12 |
Slow down, Katie. It's not a race. |
| 00:16:17 |
Do I have to call you |
| 00:16:19 |
No, of course not, silly. |
| 00:16:24 |
Why are you walking so funny? |
| 00:16:27 |
New boots. They're still a little stiff. |
| 00:16:30 |
Well, mine aren't. |
| 00:16:33 |
Really? 'Cause you just tripped. |
| 00:16:43 |
Bye, Dad. |
| 00:17:00 |
I'm going to the feed store. |
| 00:17:03 |
A packet of needles would be nice. |
| 00:17:28 |
You're it! |
| 00:17:47 |
All right, everyone, take your seats. |
| 00:17:51 |
How's everybody doing today? |
| 00:17:53 |
- Beautiful. |
| 00:18:03 |
...with your sums today. |
| 00:18:11 |
All right, Mary Beth, can I have... |
| 00:18:13 |
- my teacher's helper up front, please? |
| 00:18:19 |
Okay. |
| 00:18:49 |
911 dispatch. What is your emergency? |
| 00:18:52 |
There's a man. He just |
| 00:19:11 |
- What is it? |
| 00:19:13 |
- Has something happened? |
| 00:19:15 |
Levi came to get Isaac. He says |
| 00:19:18 |
They told me to stay put, |
| 00:19:30 |
Hello? |
| 00:19:32 |
Hey, Charlie. I just got Maddy to sleep. |
| 00:19:38 |
What? |
| 00:19:40 |
What are you talking about? |
| 00:19:42 |
Charlie? |
| 00:20:05 |
- Katie! |
| 00:20:08 |
- Katie! |
| 00:20:10 |
There's a bad man in school, Mama. |
| 00:20:12 |
Oh. But you got away. |
| 00:20:16 |
Emma and I ran out the side door, |
| 00:20:20 |
And I thought Mary Beth would run too. |
| 00:20:24 |
Mary Beth is still |
| 00:20:26 |
- Yes. |
| 00:20:32 |
He said he wouldn't hurt us |
| 00:20:35 |
But I ran. |
| 00:20:39 |
What should we do? |
| 00:20:41 |
We should pray. |
| 00:21:03 |
- There you go. |
| 00:21:06 |
Ah, man, I'm allergic to Mondays. |
| 00:21:08 |
- I just brewed a fresh pot of coffee if you want to go grab some. |
| 00:21:10 |
- Oh, Jill, look alive. |
| 00:21:13 |
School shooting, |
| 00:21:16 |
Amish? That doesn't make any sense. |
| 00:21:19 |
The shooter wasn't Amish. |
| 00:21:22 |
He, uh, shot a bunch of young girls. |
| 00:21:26 |
Call us if you get any other details. |
| 00:21:36 |
- Hey, Bill. |
| 00:21:40 |
But my son... he got out, so... |
| 00:21:43 |
I don't know anything about |
| 00:21:49 |
Come, boys. |
| 00:21:51 |
We'll ask Dat. He may know. |
| 00:21:55 |
Ida. Have they told you anything? |
| 00:21:58 |
Just that we have to stay here. |
| 00:22:01 |
And that one girl has passed for certain. |
| 00:22:03 |
- Who? |
| 00:22:07 |
They asked us for a photo of Mary Beth. |
| 00:22:10 |
I told them we didn't have one... |
| 00:22:12 |
on account of God doesn't |
| 00:22:15 |
I can't leave Katie. |
| 00:22:18 |
I'll go. |
| 00:22:22 |
Yes. Is this the Sheriff's Office? |
| 00:22:25 |
Well, I've been trying to get ahold |
| 00:22:28 |
I... I just got a very disturbing |
| 00:22:31 |
Scared the heck out of me. I... |
| 00:22:33 |
I don't know. I don't know |
| 00:22:37 |
Yes, I will hold. |
| 00:22:41 |
Dad. Thank God you're here. |
| 00:22:44 |
I have to go find Charlie. He just... |
| 00:22:46 |
There's something you need to see. |
| 00:22:48 |
Although no official statement |
| 00:22:51 |
is a lone gunman apparently entered |
| 00:22:55 |
He allowed the boys to leave, |
| 00:22:57 |
- God. |
| 00:22:59 |
- What... Why are you showing me this? |
| 00:23:03 |
The truck I loaned Charlie last week! |
| 00:23:06 |
Wait, Sheriff, what can you tell us... |
| 00:23:08 |
I'm sorry, Ma'am. |
| 00:23:21 |
No word on names or any other details? |
| 00:23:23 |
No, the news conference |
| 00:23:26 |
Yeah. Yeah, I got it. |
| 00:23:28 |
Leonard doesn't want us |
| 00:23:30 |
He wants us to go live in 10, |
| 00:23:33 |
and I'm gonna find a uniform to talk to. |
| 00:23:37 |
I think that's one of the parents. |
| 00:23:45 |
Do we know anything new? |
| 00:23:47 |
No, not yet. |
| 00:24:07 |
Oh, dear God. |
| 00:24:20 |
No then. I understand. |
| 00:24:22 |
I need to know where my daughters are. |
| 00:24:24 |
Ma'am, that's what I'm trying |
| 00:24:27 |
But we got girls sent |
| 00:24:29 |
They're all wearing the same clothes, |
| 00:24:33 |
Has no one asked the girls their names? |
| 00:24:36 |
Ma'am, from what I understand, |
| 00:24:47 |
Ruth. |
| 00:24:52 |
I should have stayed, shouldn't I? |
| 00:24:56 |
I just thought that if |
| 00:25:00 |
There's no way that you could have known |
| 00:25:03 |
- A total stranger. |
| 00:25:08 |
I've seen him before... lots of times. |
| 00:25:11 |
Where? Who was he? |
| 00:25:14 |
The man who drives the milk truck. |
| 00:25:18 |
It was Charlie? Charlie Roberts? |
| 00:25:26 |
I did find this letter |
| 00:25:30 |
saying that he was mad at God... |
| 00:25:33 |
because our little girl had died, |
| 00:25:37 |
That's her. |
| 00:25:38 |
Lisa died the day she was born. |
| 00:25:42 |
He... He called. and I... I didn't |
| 00:25:48 |
I thought he was telling me |
| 00:25:50 |
I don't think it's possible |
| 00:25:54 |
My husband is... was a good man. |
| 00:25:57 |
Ma'am, we found a list of the items |
| 00:26:02 |
And receipts from the hardware store |
| 00:26:06 |
The dates on those receipts |
| 00:26:10 |
We believe that your husband had been |
| 00:26:21 |
Would you please excuse me? |
| 00:26:29 |
It appears that Charles Carl Roberts IV... |
| 00:26:32 |
a local milk truck driver |
| 00:26:34 |
entered the school at 10:35 this morning |
| 00:26:38 |
a shotgun, several pistols, |
| 00:26:42 |
He ordered all the boys |
| 00:26:44 |
and then took 10 girls hostage. |
| 00:26:48 |
Soon after police arrived at the scene... |
| 00:26:50 |
Roberts shot all 10 girls |
| 00:26:53 |
We're being told that three of the girls |
| 00:26:57 |
or died shortly thereafter. |
| 00:26:59 |
All of the other girls |
| 00:27:01 |
and are being treated at local hospitals. |
| 00:27:04 |
You okay? |
| 00:27:07 |
Yeah. I... I just... I just need a minute. |
| 00:27:10 |
Okay. |
| 00:27:24 |
It's Hannah. |
| 00:27:26 |
She's safe in the arms of Jesus now. |
| 00:27:29 |
Oh, Hannah. Oh, no. |
| 00:27:33 |
- Sarah and Rebecca are still alive... at different hospitals. |
| 00:27:35 |
- I must find Isaac. |
| 00:27:38 |
We'll pray for them. |
| 00:27:47 |
- Forgive me. |
| 00:27:49 |
I was wondering if you had |
| 00:27:52 |
Mary Beth Graber. She's... |
| 00:27:55 |
She's the oldest girl. Uh, 14, brown hair. |
| 00:28:00 |
Sorry. Her name's not |
| 00:28:02 |
Well, what does that mean? |
| 00:28:05 |
- I'll make a call, try and find out. |
| 00:28:07 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:28:17 |
Did they tell you about Mary Beth? |
| 00:28:21 |
I don't know. |
| 00:28:24 |
Perhaps she did run after all. |
| 00:28:26 |
Perhaps, uh... |
| 00:28:29 |
Perhaps she'll come walking |
| 00:29:12 |
Do we have a definite |
| 00:29:19 |
Heads up. Here he comes. folks. |
| 00:29:21 |
We have some questions for you, sir. |
| 00:29:26 |
- Mr. Taskey? |
| 00:29:28 |
What is she going through right now? |
| 00:29:31 |
Excuse... Uh... My name is Henry Taskey. |
| 00:29:34 |
I'm here on behalf |
| 00:29:37 |
She's been devastated by what happened today. |
| 00:29:41 |
She's written the following statement. |
| 00:29:50 |
"The man who did this today..." |
| 00:29:52 |
"Was not the Charlie |
| 00:29:56 |
"He was an exceptional father". |
| 00:29:58 |
"He took the kids |
| 00:30:01 |
"played ball with them in the backyard". |
| 00:30:06 |
"He never said no when I asked him |
| 00:30:09 |
"Our hearts are broken, |
| 00:30:12 |
"and we grieve for the innocent lives |
| 00:30:17 |
"Above all, please pray". |
| 00:30:20 |
"Pray for the families |
| 00:30:26 |
"Please pray for our children |
| 00:30:30 |
- That's it. |
| 00:30:32 |
Mr. Taskey... Mr. Taskey... |
| 00:30:35 |
- A few questions, please, sir. |
| 00:30:37 |
Mr. Taskey, please! |
| 00:30:39 |
The coroner is gonna need |
| 00:30:42 |
to the morgue to identify your daughter. |
| 00:30:44 |
But I... I did identify her... |
| 00:30:49 |
when they carried her out at the school. |
| 00:30:52 |
Let me call the office and see |
| 00:30:55 |
I... If they do, we are not able to drive. |
| 00:30:58 |
I'd be happy to take you. |
| 00:31:04 |
I want to go. |
| 00:31:07 |
No. No, I will go. You... |
| 00:31:10 |
You shouldn't see her... the way she is. |
| 00:31:15 |
It... It will upset you. |
| 00:31:33 |
"He leadeth me in paths |
| 00:31:38 |
"Yea, though I walk through the valley |
| 00:31:42 |
"I will fear no evil, |
| 00:31:50 |
Are we leaving? |
| 00:31:52 |
Policemen are asking for our help... |
| 00:31:55 |
but I need you to stay here |
| 00:31:59 |
You keep her close. |
| 00:32:05 |
So, anything that we can do. |
| 00:32:10 |
I don't have an answer yet. I'm on hold. |
| 00:32:13 |
It doesn't matter. Please take me |
| 00:32:46 |
I'm the same way. |
| 00:32:52 |
- "Our hearts are broken"... |
| 00:32:55 |
Well, I expect you'll have to get used to that. |
| 00:32:58 |
I don't want to get used to it. I don't want |
| 00:33:07 |
I think you're gonna have |
| 00:33:11 |
the whole mess... |
| 00:33:13 |
so they don't find out from somebody else. |
| 00:33:18 |
How am I supposed to do that, Dad? |
| 00:33:21 |
How am I supposed to tell |
| 00:33:26 |
I can't even say the words |
| 00:33:29 |
How am I supposed to tell Andy and Ryan... |
| 00:33:32 |
"Your daddy went and murdered..." |
| 00:33:36 |
"I don't know how many little girls..." |
| 00:33:39 |
"girls the same age as you"? |
| 00:34:12 |
We thank you for the ride. |
| 00:34:14 |
All right. Wait a minute. |
| 00:34:19 |
- Gentlemen, can we ask you a question? |
| 00:34:22 |
Please... Can you explain |
| 00:34:24 |
Sir? Are you here to... |
| 00:34:27 |
It appears that some elder gentlemen |
| 00:34:31 |
to visit the Roberts family. |
| 00:34:34 |
Uh, none of them would |
| 00:34:43 |
- Looks like some Amish fellas. |
| 00:34:47 |
I couldn't tell you. |
| 00:34:49 |
But the last thing you need is |
| 00:34:53 |
- I'll talk to them. |
| 00:34:57 |
- They have every right in the world. |
| 00:34:59 |
- You didn't do a thing wrong. |
| 00:35:02 |
- Amy, you're not thinking clear-headed about this. |
| 00:35:09 |
May we come in, Mrs. Roberts? |
| 00:35:18 |
Like they were going in for tea. |
| 00:35:21 |
- Have you ever seen anything like that? |
| 00:35:25 |
I didn't know what Charlie was planning. |
| 00:35:27 |
I swear to God, I didn't know. |
| 00:35:30 |
That never once entered our minds, |
| 00:35:35 |
I just... I don't know what happened to him. |
| 00:35:37 |
I'm horrified. and I'm so sorry. |
| 00:35:42 |
I would give anything... |
| 00:35:44 |
to get those girls back. |
| 00:35:49 |
Were any of you rel... related to them? |
| 00:35:59 |
My daughter Mary Beth... |
| 00:36:04 |
died this morning. |
| 00:36:08 |
I'm sorry. You must be suffering deeply. |
| 00:36:16 |
It is a deep wound, yes. |
| 00:36:24 |
But she is in heaven... |
| 00:36:26 |
with her Father now and... |
| 00:36:30 |
She is at peace. |
| 00:36:39 |
I'm so sorry. So sorry. |
| 00:36:44 |
We're sorry for your loss too. |
| 00:36:51 |
My loss? |
| 00:36:53 |
You lost a husband. |
| 00:36:56 |
Your children have lost their father. |
| 00:36:58 |
We grieve for you as well. |
| 00:37:01 |
We will harbor no anger at Charlie. |
| 00:37:05 |
He was known to most of us. |
| 00:37:08 |
We come here |
| 00:37:18 |
You forgive him? |
| 00:37:20 |
"For as ye forgive men their trespasses..." |
| 00:37:24 |
"your heavenly father |
| 00:37:31 |
Matthew 6:14. |
| 00:37:35 |
We will not allow hatred into our hearts. |
| 00:37:43 |
We know that you will be |
| 00:37:48 |
and we would like to offer our help. |
| 00:37:52 |
We are your neighbors... |
| 00:37:54 |
and if you or your children |
| 00:37:58 |
we hope that you will let us know. |
| 00:38:15 |
We came to tell Mrs. Roberts that we carry |
| 00:38:22 |
I don't even know what to do with that. |
| 00:38:25 |
I mean, how do you forgive |
| 00:38:28 |
I have two nieces. There's no way I could... |
| 00:38:31 |
I raised three girls, and I... |
| 00:38:36 |
Do you think he was being on the level? |
| 00:38:38 |
They went into the house. |
| 00:38:41 |
Why would they do that |
| 00:38:44 |
All right. |
| 00:38:48 |
We'll let people make up their own minds. |
| 00:38:50 |
But tomorrow I want the both of you |
| 00:38:54 |
Find out if this is just a deacon |
| 00:38:57 |
or if the families who lost children really |
| 00:39:19 |
She'll never sleep here again. |
| 00:39:28 |
She's sleeping in a better place now, |
| 00:40:11 |
They're taking Mary Beth |
| 00:40:14 |
I want to get up early |
| 00:40:19 |
I'm sure that there are others that would |
| 00:40:23 |
I want to do it. I want it ready tomorrow. |
| 00:40:26 |
I don't like thinking about her lying there |
| 00:40:38 |
Do you plan to come with me tomorrow? |
| 00:40:43 |
I'll be there. |
| 00:40:47 |
You weren't with me today. |
| 00:40:51 |
You were at the house of her murderer. |
| 00:40:55 |
I was doing my duty. |
| 00:40:57 |
According to whom? Levi? |
| 00:41:01 |
According to God. |
| 00:41:03 |
God! |
| 00:41:07 |
God had a plan for her, Ida. |
| 00:41:11 |
He sent her to us. |
| 00:41:14 |
He has the right to call her home. |
| 00:41:16 |
Oh. |
| 00:41:20 |
To question that will do us no good. |
| 00:41:26 |
But I don't know how to be without her. |
| 00:42:08 |
Gideon is up. |
| 00:42:12 |
You should not blame him for what he did. |
| 00:42:15 |
He was right to go with Levi. |
| 00:42:17 |
You can say that even now? |
| 00:42:21 |
Charlie Roberts is dead. |
| 00:42:24 |
To forgive him makes it easier. |
| 00:42:27 |
We don't have to see him. |
| 00:42:29 |
His fate is in God's hands. |
| 00:42:33 |
Rachel, how are your girls? |
| 00:42:39 |
God called Sarah home during the night. |
| 00:42:44 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:42:48 |
I was hoping... |
| 00:42:50 |
Both of Judith's daughters died. |
| 00:42:54 |
That's five girls killed. |
| 00:42:57 |
And Rebecca... how is she doing? |
| 00:43:00 |
Still in the coma. |
| 00:43:02 |
Well, we will pray for her. |
| 00:43:26 |
You were up all night. |
| 00:43:31 |
Sewing this dress is the last thing |
| 00:43:45 |
Why were you showing Rachel |
| 00:43:48 |
Rachel asked to see them. |
| 00:43:52 |
We agreed that God probably wouldn't have |
| 00:43:55 |
if we had just one photo |
| 00:43:59 |
You do not need a graven image |
| 00:44:03 |
No. |
| 00:44:06 |
But it would comfort me. |
| 00:44:12 |
But you do not need comfort, do you? |
| 00:44:17 |
Of course I do. |
| 00:44:20 |
I loved Mary Beth more than my life. |
| 00:44:22 |
And yet you went to the house |
| 00:44:25 |
and you put out your hand to his wife. |
| 00:44:27 |
Because it was the right thing to do. |
| 00:44:31 |
We must trust God's wisdom. |
| 00:44:33 |
What wisdom? |
| 00:44:35 |
Why would God want a beautiful, |
| 00:44:40 |
I don't know! |
| 00:44:45 |
All I know... |
| 00:44:48 |
is that if we forgive, |
| 00:44:55 |
God has shattered my heart. |
| 00:45:04 |
And I will not betray my daughter... |
| 00:45:07 |
by forgiving the man who killed her. |
| 00:45:10 |
I will not do it, Gideon. |
| 00:45:13 |
I cannot. |
| 00:45:25 |
Whoa, whoa, whoa. |
| 00:45:29 |
I need to move the horse off the street. |
| 00:45:39 |
You're Charlie Roberts's wife. |
| 00:45:44 |
Is this where... |
| 00:45:47 |
- Is your husband here? |
| 00:45:49 |
No, I was just seeing if they... |
| 00:45:56 |
I can take his body somewhere else. |
| 00:46:05 |
Our deepest condolences on your loss. |
| 00:46:17 |
Mr. Taskey. |
| 00:46:19 |
Mr.... Graber. |
| 00:46:22 |
- I'm so sorry for your loss. |
| 00:46:26 |
Good day. |
| 00:46:44 |
Mama... |
| 00:46:47 |
is Mary Beth wearing her new dress now? |
| 00:46:51 |
Does she look pretty? |
| 00:46:55 |
Yes. |
| 00:46:57 |
Yes, very pretty. |
| 00:47:15 |
There's no need for you to cook. |
| 00:47:19 |
Why not let our friends bring us food? |
| 00:47:22 |
I don't want to see anyone else right now. |
| 00:47:25 |
Ida... |
| 00:47:29 |
We are a people that share our burdens. |
| 00:47:31 |
We are a people |
| 00:47:41 |
When I picked Katie up, |
| 00:47:45 |
grief counselor at the firehouse later on. |
| 00:47:50 |
That she was willing |
| 00:47:52 |
and help them work through their grief. |
| 00:47:54 |
I prefer not. |
| 00:47:55 |
But you need to... |
| 00:47:59 |
perhaps more than anyone. |
| 00:48:00 |
Why? Because I'm so unreasonable? |
| 00:48:03 |
- Those are not my words. |
| 00:48:06 |
But you are disappointed in me... |
| 00:48:09 |
because I dare to hate the man |
| 00:48:20 |
If you want me to go, I'll go. |
| 00:48:22 |
I'll change my dress. |
| 00:48:57 |
I hate that man too. |
| 00:49:00 |
He did a bad, evil thing... |
| 00:49:03 |
and I hate him more than anything. |
| 00:49:11 |
He did do an evil thing. |
| 00:49:14 |
And... I don't blame you for hating him. |
| 00:49:18 |
And you can hate him... |
| 00:49:22 |
for as long as you like. |
| 00:49:28 |
But tell me, this hate that's... |
| 00:49:33 |
how does it feel? |
| 00:49:35 |
Does it feel good? |
| 00:49:40 |
Not very good. |
| 00:49:44 |
No. |
| 00:49:49 |
Hate is a very big... |
| 00:49:52 |
very hungry thing, |
| 00:49:56 |
and it will... |
| 00:49:58 |
eat up your whole heart... |
| 00:50:02 |
and leave no room left for love. |
| 00:50:08 |
We are lucky... |
| 00:50:12 |
that God understands this. |
| 00:50:16 |
He is the one that will |
| 00:50:19 |
so that we don't have to carry all this |
| 00:50:24 |
if we don't want to. |
| 00:50:26 |
If we're willing to forgive. |
| 00:50:33 |
Maybe I could forgive him... |
| 00:50:36 |
and still hate him just a little bit. |
| 00:50:59 |
Ho. Ho! |
| 00:51:03 |
Excuse me. Jill Green, WEBG News. |
| 00:51:06 |
I wonder if I might |
| 00:51:09 |
Uh, we don't have to talk on camera... |
| 00:51:11 |
but a lot of people are wondering |
| 00:51:14 |
with this terrible tragedy. |
| 00:51:18 |
Excuse me. Jill Green, WEBG News. |
| 00:51:22 |
Would you like to comment on why |
| 00:51:24 |
to forgive the man |
| 00:51:35 |
We don't have to talk on camera. |
| 00:51:38 |
I just want to know, because, honestly... |
| 00:51:40 |
I'm having a hard time understanding it. |
| 00:51:56 |
I know this is very difficult. |
| 00:52:02 |
Your lives have been turned upside down. |
| 00:52:06 |
Your grief is new, and very painful. |
| 00:52:11 |
But with time... |
| 00:52:13 |
you can create |
| 00:52:17 |
especially if you stop |
| 00:52:23 |
Why don't we start... |
| 00:52:25 |
by talking about the memories you cherish |
| 00:52:32 |
Hannah was seven... |
| 00:52:34 |
and so sweet. |
| 00:52:36 |
Everyone always told me how sweet she was. |
| 00:52:39 |
She loved working with me in the garden. |
| 00:52:43 |
She'd take such care planting each seed... |
| 00:52:46 |
patting it into the ground |
| 00:52:49 |
then practically drowning it with water. |
| 00:53:00 |
Sarah was 12. |
| 00:53:04 |
She liked gardening too. |
| 00:53:07 |
But what she loved most was horses. |
| 00:53:12 |
She'd just got a new mare. |
| 00:53:15 |
The first night |
| 00:53:19 |
Sarah slept in the barn. |
| 00:53:30 |
Our Mary Beth was 14, and... |
| 00:53:33 |
she loved to read. |
| 00:53:37 |
I think she read the Bible |
| 00:53:42 |
She loved to tell stories. |
| 00:53:44 |
- Once, she wrote a... |
| 00:53:54 |
Anna was seven. |
| 00:53:56 |
Lydia was eight. |
| 00:54:00 |
They did everything together. |
| 00:54:06 |
One evening... |
| 00:54:10 |
Charlie Roberts came to get our milk... |
| 00:54:14 |
and he had his sons with him. |
| 00:54:17 |
And they played |
| 00:54:26 |
I'm so sorry... that I left. |
| 00:54:31 |
I keep praying to God... |
| 00:54:33 |
that he will give me |
| 00:54:36 |
so that I can stay. |
| 00:54:39 |
Ruth, if you hadn't run for help, the police |
| 00:54:44 |
They told us that he was planning to do |
| 00:54:48 |
Yes. Ruth. You did the right thing. |
| 00:54:58 |
I forgot to mention |
| 00:55:01 |
Uh, how good she was |
| 00:55:04 |
She was the only one that |
| 00:55:07 |
when he was having an asthma attack. |
| 00:55:10 |
She helped him up until the day |
| 00:55:16 |
Oh, that's right. |
| 00:55:19 |
She's shunned for taking up |
| 00:55:22 |
We can forgive the man |
| 00:55:27 |
but... but we cannot forgive |
| 00:55:38 |
I told you I shouldn't have come. |
| 00:55:45 |
Yeah, no. I can't get anyone to talk |
| 00:55:49 |
- Hey, are you all right? |
| 00:55:51 |
I want to go home. |
| 00:55:53 |
Well, we can give you a ride. |
| 00:56:03 |
This isn't a good idea. |
| 00:56:08 |
My husband will be unhappy |
| 00:56:12 |
Your husband was one of the men |
| 00:56:16 |
They don't understand how it bothers me. |
| 00:56:20 |
They don't understand that... |
| 00:56:22 |
That some things are unforgivable? |
| 00:56:42 |
My colleague Ann Curry |
| 00:56:45 |
from Lancaster County, |
| 00:56:48 |
- Ann, good evening. |
| 00:56:51 |
Along with forgiveness... |
| 00:56:53 |
Those people out there |
| 00:56:56 |
Still, the Amish people here |
| 00:57:00 |
- burying their anger even before burying their children. |
| 00:57:05 |
You don't need to be watching that. |
| 00:57:08 |
Where are the kids? |
| 00:57:10 |
Lillian from church took them |
| 00:57:13 |
What about you? |
| 00:57:17 |
This time a week ago, I was... |
| 00:57:19 |
bringing Charlie a plate in the garage. |
| 00:57:22 |
He was fixing Andy's bike. |
| 00:57:26 |
I thought we had a good life. |
| 00:57:29 |
I would have bet money he thought |
| 00:57:33 |
He actually picked going to hell |
| 00:57:41 |
Uh, how about I, uh... |
| 00:57:44 |
make you a grilled cheese... |
| 00:57:47 |
since that's the only thing |
| 00:57:51 |
- What's this? |
| 00:57:55 |
It's donations. |
| 00:57:58 |
so they gave them to the boys. |
| 00:58:00 |
Huh. I'll be. |
| 00:58:04 |
They really put their money |
| 00:58:11 |
I asked the community what they wanted |
| 00:58:15 |
and I was told, "Tell the world |
| 00:58:19 |
"But also remember to pray |
| 00:59:06 |
Katie, no! Oh. What are you doing? |
| 00:59:10 |
Making cookies for after |
| 00:59:14 |
Katie! |
| 00:59:16 |
Katie. I'm sorry for yelling. |
| 00:59:20 |
Oh, Katie, I said I was sorry. |
| 00:59:22 |
This should be my funeral too. |
| 00:59:25 |
I should have gotten shot too. |
| 00:59:27 |
I don't know why I ran. |
| 00:59:30 |
It would be better |
| 00:59:33 |
She would never burn the cookies. |
| 00:59:35 |
Oh, Katie. |
| 00:59:38 |
Shh. |
| 00:59:41 |
I thank God you ran. |
| 00:59:46 |
I thank God you're here. |
| 00:59:49 |
And don't ever think... |
| 00:59:52 |
that you should have been shot or... |
| 00:59:54 |
or that you shouldn't be here |
| 00:59:59 |
we love you. |
| 01:00:01 |
And we need you. So, please... |
| 01:00:04 |
Please, please... |
| 01:00:06 |
Don't ever feel bad for being alive. |
| 01:00:13 |
Now, let's go and make |
| 01:00:22 |
Isaac just returned from the hospital. |
| 01:00:25 |
He says Rebecca opened her eyes three times |
| 01:00:28 |
Oh, that's wonderful news. |
| 01:00:32 |
Will you come with me to the hospital? |
| 01:00:36 |
But Mary Beth's funeral... |
| 01:00:37 |
It isn't until tomorrow. |
| 01:00:40 |
Please, Ida. |
| 01:00:43 |
If it turns out she's not waking up... |
| 01:00:46 |
- I can't bear to sit there alone. |
| 01:00:48 |
Yes, of course. I'll go change. |
| 01:00:53 |
I'm so happy for you. |
| 01:00:56 |
- We just need to pray that she's waking up. |
| 01:00:59 |
So you have one of the families saying... |
| 01:01:02 |
that they have no intention of doing |
| 01:01:04 |
No, not a family. A mother. |
| 01:01:07 |
Her husband is clearly |
| 01:01:09 |
He was one of the men |
| 01:01:12 |
Is she being pressured to toe the line? |
| 01:01:14 |
Is that what that powwow |
| 01:01:16 |
No. No. It was, uh, |
| 01:01:20 |
Although Ida was pretty upset |
| 01:01:23 |
So I suppose there could be |
| 01:01:26 |
Well, then, what are you sitting here for? |
| 01:01:29 |
- Find out. |
| 01:01:32 |
Do we really want to pursue this angle? |
| 01:01:34 |
All the networks are pretty much |
| 01:01:36 |
I don't take anything at face value. |
| 01:01:39 |
I'm not gonna report something as a fact |
| 01:01:42 |
I mean, if you find evidence that this |
| 01:01:45 |
then fine. I'll let you run with it. |
| 01:01:48 |
But if what we really have |
| 01:01:50 |
making devastated parents feel like |
| 01:01:55 |
it's a different story. |
| 01:02:01 |
So this is where the fireman picks you up? |
| 01:02:04 |
He says it's on his way to work, |
| 01:02:07 |
- He said he'd get another to drive me. |
| 01:02:11 |
I must say... |
| 01:02:13 |
all our lives we're told to keep ourselves |
| 01:02:19 |
been nothing but generous |
| 01:02:26 |
Looks like a woman. |
| 01:02:33 |
Oh. |
| 01:02:43 |
Hi. |
| 01:02:45 |
I... I, uh, went to the firehouse to see |
| 01:02:50 |
They said a mother needs |
| 01:02:54 |
Yes. |
| 01:02:56 |
Yes, that's me. I'm Rachel. |
| 01:03:02 |
This is Ida. |
| 01:03:07 |
And it's very kind of you to take me. |
| 01:03:10 |
Isn't she kind, Ida? |
| 01:03:14 |
Please, let me help. |
| 01:03:18 |
Yes. Please. Ida. |
| 01:03:23 |
Let's go. |
| 01:03:25 |
So who is it you're going to visit? |
| 01:03:29 |
Rebecca. |
| 01:03:32 |
She's 10. |
| 01:03:34 |
Well, I'm glad she made it. |
| 01:03:39 |
Her other daughter, Sarah, was killed... |
| 01:03:41 |
along with my daughter. |
| 01:03:46 |
It seems very warm for this time of year. |
| 01:03:49 |
I guess it is. |
| 01:03:54 |
My husband says our corn |
| 01:03:57 |
I hope that won't cause you any problems. |
| 01:03:59 |
Oh, no. It's a bit of a blessing |
| 01:04:04 |
so occupied. |
| 01:04:09 |
You know, if there's anything I can do |
| 01:04:14 |
I can give you rides anywhere you gotta go. |
| 01:04:20 |
That's very generous. |
| 01:04:23 |
We don't have a phone, but... |
| 01:04:26 |
- I'll be happy to take your number. |
| 01:04:28 |
- I have to get out of the car. |
| 01:04:30 |
- I don't feel well. I need to get out. |
| 01:04:38 |
Ida! |
| 01:04:41 |
Ida! |
| 01:04:42 |
- What are you doing? |
| 01:04:45 |
Sitting in the car beside Amy Roberts |
| 01:04:48 |
I cannot bear the sight of her! |
| 01:04:50 |
Ida, this is not a fitting way to talk. |
| 01:04:54 |
Mary Beth is dead because of her husband! |
| 01:04:57 |
- And you're gonna defend her and scold me? |
| 01:05:01 |
And I want to scream at the world too. |
| 01:05:04 |
But more than that, I do not want to make my heart... |
| 01:05:06 |
a battleground between hate and love. |
| 01:05:08 |
It hurts too much. |
| 01:05:12 |
We have suffered enough damage. |
| 01:05:15 |
We must choose love. |
| 01:05:20 |
I cannot go to the hospital with you. |
| 01:05:23 |
Mary Beth's funeral is tomorrow. |
| 01:05:37 |
You think Leonard's |
| 01:05:40 |
Pretty much. |
| 01:05:42 |
You gotta admit... |
| 01:05:44 |
we don't know for sure |
| 01:05:51 |
Is that who I think it is? |
| 01:05:54 |
It's Ida Graber. |
| 01:05:57 |
Ida? |
| 01:06:00 |
Are you all right? |
| 01:06:03 |
Can we give you a ride? |
| 01:06:06 |
Not today. But... |
| 01:06:08 |
the day after tomorrow... |
| 01:06:12 |
Yeah, yeah, we could do that. |
| 01:06:14 |
Uh, where do you need to go? |
| 01:06:16 |
To Philadelphia. |
| 01:06:19 |
I can't stand to be here anymore. |
| 01:06:23 |
I have to get out of this place. |
| 01:06:27 |
Will you do it? |
| 01:06:36 |
I'll pick you up |
| 01:07:11 |
- Is that for one of the girls they say Daddy killed? |
| 01:07:15 |
It's for Mary Beth Graber. |
| 01:07:19 |
I think they made a mistake. |
| 01:07:21 |
I think Daddy went into the school |
| 01:07:26 |
and the real bad guy |
| 01:07:28 |
So... |
| 01:07:31 |
they just think it was Daddy, |
| 01:07:36 |
Oh, honey. |
| 01:08:31 |
Thank you for talking to me today. |
| 01:08:36 |
Those are some big ears. |
| 01:08:38 |
Ah. |
| 01:08:45 |
Smell it. |
| 01:08:47 |
- Mmm. |
| 01:08:50 |
The harvest is late this year. |
| 01:08:53 |
- You ever walk through a cornfield at night? |
| 01:08:56 |
No, this is a first for me, day or night. |
| 01:08:59 |
When it's quiet, |
| 01:09:03 |
God's work... it's all around us. |
| 01:09:10 |
Not everything is God's work. |
| 01:09:15 |
For many years, |
| 01:09:20 |
We're not afraid to die. |
| 01:09:24 |
Young girls should not have to die |
| 01:09:29 |
No. |
| 01:09:31 |
No, no. It may not seem so to us... |
| 01:09:33 |
we who are left to bear |
| 01:09:38 |
but it is not our place to decide |
| 01:09:42 |
That, especially, is God's work. |
| 01:09:47 |
Charlie Roberts |
| 01:09:50 |
that he wanted to offend God... |
| 01:09:53 |
for taking his baby daughter. |
| 01:09:56 |
He was purposely doing evil. |
| 01:09:58 |
All the more reason |
| 01:10:02 |
Do you say things like that |
| 01:10:06 |
I believe that you're asking me |
| 01:10:12 |
No. No, I'm sorry. |
| 01:10:15 |
It's just... |
| 01:10:17 |
I don't see how you can forgive someone... |
| 01:10:20 |
who hasn't show regret |
| 01:10:24 |
I don't see that as genuine forgiveness. |
| 01:10:26 |
Forgiveness comes from an open heart... |
| 01:10:30 |
and it comes without condition... |
| 01:10:34 |
or it does not come at all. |
| 01:10:59 |
It was a long day. |
| 01:11:05 |
I'm glad it is done. |
| 01:11:11 |
I have to leave, Gideon. |
| 01:11:17 |
What are you saying? |
| 01:11:20 |
- What are you... |
| 01:11:25 |
I'm going to the city. |
| 01:11:27 |
I want to find a place near Emma... |
| 01:11:30 |
and I want to take Katie with me. |
| 01:11:38 |
I want you to come with us. |
| 01:11:40 |
I don't want us to be apart. And... |
| 01:11:42 |
Katie won't be happy without you. |
| 01:11:52 |
You will never leave, will you? |
| 01:11:56 |
Not even for me. |
| 01:11:59 |
I'm a plain man, Ida. |
| 01:12:03 |
I can be nothing else. This is my place. |
| 01:12:06 |
- Our place. |
| 01:12:08 |
Not anymore it isn't. |
| 01:12:10 |
- You're in pain. You're not... You're not thinking clearly. |
| 01:12:14 |
Pain clears the mind very well... |
| 01:12:16 |
and I know that I do not belong here. |
| 01:12:19 |
I am not a meek little sheep |
| 01:12:24 |
Like you, offering up our daughter |
| 01:12:28 |
You will mock our faith now? |
| 01:12:30 |
Our faith is the only thing |
| 01:12:33 |
No! we had so much more than that! |
| 01:12:36 |
We had Mary Beth! Our child... |
| 01:12:39 |
was of priceless value, and you made her |
| 01:12:42 |
It is not easy to forgive! |
| 01:12:45 |
The Lord does not set us on an easy path! |
| 01:12:50 |
But this I know. |
| 01:12:53 |
Faith, when everything is as you want it |
| 01:12:57 |
It is only when our lives |
| 01:13:01 |
that we have the chance |
| 01:13:05 |
Now, if you do not have true faith, |
| 01:13:09 |
Perhaps you don't belong here. |
| 01:13:14 |
So you will let me go? |
| 01:13:24 |
I would not force you |
| 01:13:31 |
Do this one thing for me. |
| 01:13:33 |
Come with me to the firehouse tomorrow |
| 01:13:37 |
They said Amy Roberts will be there. |
| 01:13:43 |
All right, I'll go. |
| 01:13:47 |
And Katie and I will leave after. |
| 01:13:55 |
- Gideon... |
| 01:13:59 |
I hope you will come see us |
| 01:14:08 |
I will not see you. |
| 01:14:10 |
You will be shunned. |
| 01:14:14 |
But I will come and fetch Katie and... |
| 01:14:17 |
bring her here to visit with me. |
| 01:14:50 |
Hey. |
| 01:14:52 |
- Everything okay? |
| 01:14:59 |
- I bet Gideon's pretty upset. |
| 01:15:02 |
And it pains me terribly |
| 01:15:07 |
I do not see any other way. |
| 01:15:11 |
If you want to take a few more days |
| 01:15:13 |
No. It won't be any easier |
| 01:15:22 |
I promised Gideon |
| 01:15:25 |
The families are meeting with Amy Roberts. |
| 01:15:27 |
Oh. I hadn't heard. |
| 01:15:31 |
Will you come? |
| 01:15:33 |
I would just love |
| 01:15:37 |
understands how I feel. |
| 01:15:45 |
Okay. |
| 01:15:50 |
Thank you. |
| 01:16:00 |
I want to thank you all |
| 01:16:04 |
I have been so much wanting to tell you... |
| 01:16:09 |
how sorry I am... |
| 01:16:12 |
for your girls. |
| 01:16:15 |
S... So deeply, incredibly sorry. |
| 01:16:19 |
It's just, um... |
| 01:16:24 |
what Charlie did is, uh... |
| 01:16:28 |
it's incomprehensible to me... |
| 01:16:31 |
and to everyone who knew him. |
| 01:16:33 |
My son... |
| 01:16:41 |
You've all been so kind to me... |
| 01:16:44 |
and to my children. |
| 01:16:49 |
Even to... Charlie. |
| 01:16:53 |
Seeing you forgive him... |
| 01:16:57 |
when some things are just unforgivable. |
| 01:17:03 |
We all deserve forgiveness, Mrs. Roberts. |
| 01:17:10 |
Is God going to forgive Charlie |
| 01:17:15 |
I don't see how any of you... |
| 01:17:21 |
I'm sorry. I... I... I... |
| 01:17:25 |
I don't mean to be rude. |
| 01:17:28 |
It's... |
| 01:17:29 |
No, it's all right. |
| 01:17:34 |
Our forgiveness isn't about Charlie. |
| 01:17:42 |
Forgiving... |
| 01:17:45 |
doesn't mean forgetting. |
| 01:17:47 |
It doesn't even mean a pardon. |
| 01:17:51 |
we know that Charlie |
| 01:17:58 |
But we also know that if we hold on |
| 01:18:04 |
then it is only ourselves |
| 01:18:08 |
It's true. |
| 01:18:10 |
Every morning when I wake... |
| 01:18:13 |
I expect to hear Anna and Lydia singing |
| 01:18:19 |
But the silence reminds me |
| 01:18:26 |
And I become so full of anger... |
| 01:18:30 |
that I can barely breathe. |
| 01:18:35 |
But then I offer that anger up to God... |
| 01:18:39 |
and I forgive. |
| 01:18:43 |
And sometimes I have to |
| 01:18:47 |
and again an hour after that. |
| 01:18:50 |
But if I did not do that... |
| 01:18:55 |
I don't know how I would |
| 01:18:57 |
I don't care if I ever breathe again. |
| 01:19:01 |
I don't understand how he could |
| 01:19:05 |
to me, to his children! |
| 01:19:08 |
I don't know how to forgive! |
| 01:19:10 |
I don't know... |
| 01:19:12 |
- We will pray with you. |
| 01:19:16 |
- We will help you. |
| 01:19:19 |
None of us is alone. |
| 01:19:27 |
Oh, my God. |
| 01:19:41 |
What can I do? Do you... Do you want me |
| 01:19:45 |
- Do you want me to take you home? |
| 01:19:47 |
- I don't know. |
| 01:19:49 |
No. |
| 01:19:53 |
Ida, Gideon... you need to come |
| 01:19:57 |
- Rebecca is asking for you. |
| 01:19:59 |
She remembers everything, |
| 01:20:13 |
Look who I brought. |
| 01:20:16 |
Good to see you, Rebecca. |
| 01:20:21 |
God must have known how much |
| 01:20:27 |
I told them you remember what happened |
| 01:20:31 |
Did you want to tell us what happened? |
| 01:20:36 |
I want to tell you about Mary Beth. |
| 01:20:42 |
I want to tell you |
| 01:20:47 |
Go on. We'd like to know. |
| 01:20:53 |
After he got his gun... |
| 01:20:55 |
he was standing over me. |
| 01:20:59 |
I was so scared. |
| 01:21:03 |
Mary Ann Fisher... |
| 01:21:05 |
She said, "Shoot me first". |
| 01:21:14 |
So he went over to her... |
| 01:21:18 |
and he said... |
| 01:21:20 |
"You girls should pray for me". |
| 01:21:25 |
But Sarah said, |
| 01:21:32 |
And Mary Beth said... |
| 01:21:35 |
"I will. I will pray for you". |
| 01:21:46 |
She said she'd pray for him... |
| 01:21:48 |
even though she knew |
| 01:21:52 |
Mary Beth was the bravest one of all. |
| 01:21:55 |
She was. |
| 01:21:59 |
She was a good girl. She was... |
| 01:22:03 |
She was the best, bravest girl. |
| 01:22:08 |
Thank you for telling us that. |
| 01:22:15 |
As soon as you come home, |
| 01:22:34 |
Take me home. |
| 01:22:37 |
I want to go home. |
| 01:22:49 |
Funeral services |
| 01:22:52 |
Not a lot of people. |
| 01:22:54 |
No. About a dozen, if that. |
| 01:22:57 |
Poor Amy. I thought she belonged |
| 01:23:02 |
Doesn't look like it today. |
| 01:23:57 |
We're very sorry for your loss. |
| 01:23:59 |
I don't understand. |
| 01:24:03 |
Before she died... |
| 01:24:05 |
my daughter had forgiveness in her heart. |
| 01:24:09 |
I can do no less. |
| 01:24:13 |
Thank you. |
| 01:24:18 |
Thank you. |

On this, of all occasions... |
| 01:24:34 |
we cannot pretend |
| 01:24:37 |
We cannot pretend that even the most |
| 01:24:40 |
cannot be swayed by darkness... |
| 01:24:43 |
to carry out evil acts... |
| 01:24:46 |
acts that leave |
| 01:24:51 |
But as our Amish brothers |
| 01:24:56 |
when we do not |
| 01:25:01 |
when we open our hearts |
| 01:25:04 |
then the darkness is banished... |
| 01:25:07 |
and evil is no more. |
| 01:25:16 |

The Amish community... |
| 01:25:25 |
Ready to get this show on the road? |
| 01:25:27 |
You go ahead. Pick your spot. |
| 01:25:29 |
- Ida! Hello. |
| 01:25:32 |
I was hoping to see you all here today. |
| 01:25:34 |
Katie... |
| 01:25:36 |
you've grown a foot |
| 01:25:38 |
- I know. Dat says he's going to sit on my head. |
| 01:25:43 |
Miss Green. |
| 01:25:49 |
- Katie looks wonderful. Is she doing okay? |
| 01:25:52 |
She misses her sister terribly. |
| 01:25:55 |
We all do. But, yes. |
| 01:25:57 |
Katie's always been a happy soul, |
| 01:26:02 |
And you and your husband? |
| 01:26:04 |
It bothers me to think that |
| 01:26:08 |
Oh, please, don't think so. |
| 01:26:10 |
You were a friend to me |
| 01:26:14 |
I'm grateful to have known you. |
| 01:26:18 |
I'm grateful too. |
| 01:26:25 |
Do you think Amy Roberts |
| 01:26:28 |
I don't know. They said that |
| 01:26:32 |
Oh, wait. There she is. |
| 01:26:50 |
I was wondering if I'd see you here. |
| 01:26:52 |
I wanted to come. |
| 01:26:55 |
I needed to see the new school. |
| 01:26:58 |
It's good you're here. |
