"Do you know where she is?" "Nat happening." "(STARTS ENGINE)" "(ALL LAUGHING)" "ALYSON:" "Amish are funny." "Ain't so?" "LAURA:" "I was wondering if you thought about what we discussed in the garden?" "Being heir to the estate." "ALYSON:" "I played about it after our walk, Mama, and I have peace in my heart." "Yes." "I will accept your kindness and hope I can make you proud." "Oh, no, you already have." "Well, perhaps we should set the date for the event, make it official." "What better for that than your birthday?" "Wednesday, next week, you'll be 21 ." "Well, I'll call Sealey and Yates, get them to arrange to come by." "Good." "LAURA:" "I'd like to make a toast." "To my dear, beautiful daughter, may your life as heir to this family be full..." "Ah!" "Are you okay?" "Ma'am?" "Yes, I'm just clumsy." "That's all." "Thank you." "♪" "Are you all right, darling?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "♪" "Katie." "(FLASK COVER UNSCREWING)" "Oh." "Pardon me, Miss Katie." "I was looking for you and heard someone in here." "Yeah." "I came to ask the maid if she would be changing my sheets today then remembered it was her day off." "Ah." "I'll get Rosie right on that." "Uh, meantime, you have a visitor wailing to see you." "A Visitor?" "Yes, from Hickory Hollow." "Really?" "Mm-hm." "You know, with Mama not feeling so well, maybe it's not such a good time to be having" "Actually, Mrs. Bennett's already with him in the garden room." "She told me to bring him right in, and they're off to a fine start." "Yeah, of course." "Katie, look who's here." "Your cousin Jacob Glick." "Hello, Katie Lapp." "Hello." "I can tell that I'm no more than a stranger to you, Katie." "I probably should've mentioned, my family and me moved to the Amish community in Holmes County when Katie and I were just pups." "Well, it's good to see you after all this while, Jacob." "You too, Katie." "You too." "So, by the look of you, Jacob, are you on your Rumspringa?" "Yeah." "I suppose I am." "Mama, do you know about Rumspringa?" "We call that our 'running around years.'" "It's for young people to see the English world and help them decide if they" "LAURA:" "If they want to commit a lifetime to the church." "I learned all about it when I was reading about the Amish." "And what have you decided, Jacob?" "Still working on that, ma'am." "I want to visit my family in Lancaster County for advice, and I saw Katie's family while I was there." "What about you, Katie Lapp?" "Your parents told me that you're baptized so are you going to return to the community?" "She's going to slay here." "Become heir to my estate." "Ah." "That's wonderful gut news." "But it's important for me to explain it to my folks, you understand?" "I don't want them to worry." "For sure and for certain." "I suppose it's best, considering your shunning and all." "LAURA:" "Shunning?" "Katie, you didn't tell me that." "Well, I don't really" "(SPEAKING IN PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH)" "Yeah." "LAURA:" "What did you say?" "I apologized for bringing up such a painful topic." "Well, I have an idea." "Why don't: you get reacquainted with a walk in the garden?" "Oh, that's very kind of you, ma'am." "I actually have to be on my way." "I just wanted to shop by for a quick hello." "Well, I'm so grateful you did, cousin." "Let me walk you out." "Goodbye." "Bye." "By the way, Jacob, how did you find me?" "Your mom told me that you were looking for your birth mother." "So I just did a little digging of my own and hacked you down." "You don't think she'd come looking for me herself, do you?" "Mm." "Don't know." "If it were my daughter all this way out in the world," "I'd want to make sure she was okay." "Yeah, okay." "Goodbye." "♪" "JUSTIN:" "Katherine, tell me about yourself." "Well, I love to play my guitar and sing songs that worship God." "Hm." "That must sound old-fashioned to a man like you." "Heh." "It's very old-fashioned." "But that's what I like about you, Katherine." "You're not like the girls I normally meet." "Mr. Wirth, I" "Justin." "Remember?" "Sorry, Justin." "I have something I need to tell you." "Something very important." "Okay." "I've discovered something, Mm-hm." "That needs bringing forward." "(PHONE RINGING)" "I'm sorry." "Hold that thought." "Mr. Yates?" "Right now?" "You sure it can't wait?" "All right." "Hold on." "Katherine, I'm really sorry." "I need to take this call." "Foundation matter." "I'll make it quick, okay?" "Yeah." "Mr. Bennett." "I thought we needed to talk privately, Katherine." "Or is it Katie Lapp?" "Why don't we just stop pretending?" "I thought I recognized your voice the other day." "And then, last night, when you rushed to Laura's side, it became clear." "I'm not the only one who's been pretending, am I?" "Who's been lying." "Who told me Mrs. Bennett had died." "I never said she died." "I said it was too late, and that remains true." "That makes no sense." "When Laura came back from Pennsylvania, never having once seen you because your parents just wouldn't allow it, her cancer came back." "And I had a decision to make." "Never in my wildest imagination did I actually believe there was a chance of you actually turning up here." "So I hired someone to be Katie." "I just wanted Laura's final days on this earth to be happy." "Joyful." "I'm sorry how this turned out, but that's why I tried to discourage you from coming when you called that day." "That's not the only reason." "Just because I'm Amish doesn't mean I don't know what an heir is." "There is nothing untoward about this." "It's a mere formality." "Laura is handing everything off to her foundation." "Having Alyson here- That's her name, Alyson." " Makes the legal process simpler." "It goes from Laura to the foundation with a simple signature." "That is all it is." "Katie..." "I hope you understand how devastating this little mix-up will be if it ever comes out." "Laura means the world to me, and I can see you care about her too." "I do." "Well, Laura loves that girl." "She believes she's her daughter." "And that belief is more important than turning this whole thing upside down." "Wouldn't you agree?" "I'm sorry for coming here." "I'll pack my things and leave first thing in the morning." "Thank you, Katie." "Thank you." "JUSTIN:" "Mr. Bennett?" "Oh, uh, Justin." "Hello." "I popped in for a coffee, saw our favorite new employee sitting here, and I thought I'd say hello." "JUSTIN:" "Thanks for keeping my seat warm." "Oh, yes, of course." "And you two have a fabulous brunch." "We will." "And thank you for the good conversation, Katherine." "♪" "Huh." "Where were we?" "You had something you wanted to tell me." "Oh, I'm very sorry," "I'm not feeling very well." "Would you mind terribly taking me back to the estate?" "Yeah, sure." "Sure." "What are you doing?" "We had a guest today, a distant cousin of Katie Lapp's." "From Hickory Hollow." "Fulton told me on my way through the door." "So you can understand why I'm pretty freaked out." ""Was a distant cousin." "Did he recognize you're not her I don't know!" "I don't think so." "Then we're probably all right." "All we have to do is remain calm, and try and make it through the signing." "I'm not betting on probably." "I can't believe I said yes to this job in the first place." "You said yes to this job because you're making more money on this gig than you do as an actor." "No, no, no." "Let me pass." "(VOICE BREAKING) Please." "I can't do it anymore." "I gotta get out of here." "I feel like I can't breathe." "I don't care about the money." "I don't: care about the money anymore." "Whether these little bears are real or whether they're an actor's trick, I don't care!" "What you have to understand is, is that we are committing a felony here." "And the only way out of it is through it." "Fine." "Fine." "I'll be back for the signing." "(SIGHS)" "(KNOCK on DOOR)" "KATIE:" "Mrs. Bennett?" "LAURA:" "Katherine." "I'm sorry, ma'am." "I didn't mean to disturb you." "I knocked, but..." "It's all right." "Are you okay, Mrs. Bennett?" "It's been a tough 24 hours." "Katie left to see her parents." "She needed to tell them about her decision." "It's all in preparation for her staying here permanently and that's what we need to focus on." "Isn't it, darling?" "Right." "Are those for me?" "Yes, ma'am." "Oh." "Heh." "They are beautiful." "Thank you." "KATIE:" "It's I who wanted to say thank you." "LAURA:" "For what?" "For allowing me to work here the past few weeks." "That sounds like a goodbye." "Please tell me that isn't so." "Sadly, it is." "Oh, that's a shame, Katherine." "We really do hale lo see good people leave our employ." "I'm very thankful to have spent this short time here." "I loved getting to know you." "Even just a little bit." "Well, goodbye, then, ma'am." "Katherine?" "Please stay till Katie's birthday on Wednesday." "Oh, that's a fabulous idea, Laura, but I think Katherine is" "It's only a few dam away and you've been like part of our family, and I want this to be a celebration for everyone." "Please, Katherine." "For me?" "Yes, ma'am." "For you." "♪" "(SNIFFING)" "♪" "(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)" "(SIGHS)" "(SIGHS)" "ROSIE:" "Excuse me, Mrs. Bennett." "Katie has arrived back safely." "Wonderful." "Thank you, Rosie." "I'll be fight down." "(SIGHING)" "(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)" "SEALEY:" "Dylan, we'll need you to be a waitress for the signing of Laura's codicil." "Are you willing to do that?" "Yes, absolutely." "♪" "By signing this codicil, we're acknowledging that Katie Lapp will become the sole heir and executor to Laura's estate." "Sign here, Laura." "Can you show me where to sign?" "These glasses aren't much use anymore." "Oh." "It's your turn, Katie." "Stop it." "Mama?" "Laura, what's wrong?" "Laura?" "Laura?" "♪" "I wanted so badly to believe that Dylan had returned my daughter to me," "I tried to convince myself that my doubts were wrong." "But something inside me told me she wasn't who she said she was." "(VOICE BREAKING) And you were here the whole time, never saying a word, worried about me, protecting me." "Beautiful Katherine." "Or should I say, my beautiful daughter, Katie Lapp?" "♪" "(DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES)" "DYLAN:" "How could you have been so stupid, Dylan?" "You arrogant, selfish..." "Theodore's wailing downstairs with a limo to take you to the airport." "And, uh, what's happened to Alyson?" "Mr. Morris Yates will be escorting her back to Manhattan, which, by the way, will be his last official duty for my law firm." "Your very generous "rife will not be prosecuting either of you." "But just so we're clear, instead of booking you into a treatment facility in Florida, she could have called the police." "And frankly, that's what I would have done." "(SUITCASE ZIPPING)" "♪" "I'm such a fool." "A worthless fool." "She's beautiful, Laura." "(VOICE BREAKING) I just wish I could turn back the clock." "Be the man that you deserve." "I love you, you know." "I'll pray for you." "Mama, are you okay?" "Yes." "Yes, I am." "May I ask, how did you know I was me?" "Come with me." "It was this." "I don't: understand." "This is the letter I sent" "To your Mom and Dad." "I know, I was confused at first too." "But how did you come by it?" "The mailbox." "I have my suspicions about a young Amish man who visited last week." "Amish man?" "He said he was your cousin." "Jacob Glick." "But I don't have a cousin Jacob Glick." "Or even a cousin Jacob." "But ifs this letter that made me realize who you were." "When you came to say goodbye the other day, I wanted so badly to tell you, but I had to remain silent until now." "This is my last chance to force Dylan, to get him the help he needs." "Okay." "Enough of this doom and gloom." "Come with me." "♪" "Choose anything you like." "Anything?" "Anything." "Rosie?" "ROSIE (OVER INTERCOM):" "Yes, ma'am?" "Prepare a soiree to end all soirees." "And tell Selig to outdo himself." "The birthday girl is getting ready." "Yes, ma'am."
