[horse snorting]
[vehicle approaching]
[screeching]
[whinnying]
You frightened my horse!
What are you doing here? Whoa!
[groans]
[theme music playing]
Okay, if you don't have the tools
to get through whatever it is you're going through,
then your sister Kemi will provide, yes?
[Mike] You really making me do this?
I am not sending you into a state of holy matrimony
without some communication techniques.
We communicate all day.
About work. That's easy.
You have to learn how to do the hard stuff, okay?
Look, I do not perform weddings
unless I am damn sure there's not gonna be divorce.
Okay, that's a little bit dramatic, don't you think?
Like you storming out last night
and not coming home for two hours?
Jay kicked me out of my own office
to have a private conversation.
- Here we go... - [Kemi] Okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Let's, um, let's try
moving closer together, knees touching.
Come on. Knees touching. Let's go.
All right, no need to wait for the wedding night.
[Mike] That's what people do on their wedding night?
[Kemi] Okay, you're being funny.
Now hold hands.
Now, look at each other,
and I want you to say what you're most afraid of
in this relationship.
We're doing this? All right, fine.
Look, me and Jay have gotten close. All right?
I like him, he's my partner, but this you-and-Jay thing--
There is no "me and Jay" thing.
I'm just trying to keep you out of the Inspector Braun mess.
Don't you think that should be my choice?
[cell phone vibrates]
[Mike] It's Helen.
It's urgent. I gotta go.
It's your day off.
- [footsteps receding] - There you go.
And he's gone.
- [door opens and closes] - You wanna talk about
what just happened there?
About Mike walking out again?
About why.
I let Jason chase a theory, and kept it from Mike.
What was the theory?
It's about Logan Barlowe.
The man who confessed to the car bomb?
Jay thinks that he took the fall for someone.
[sighing]
- Will you do me a favor? - Yeah.
Will you look into Barlowe's financials for me, discreetly?
Sure, but Nikki...
Mike was just telling you how he felt.
You and Jason,
it is a thing,
and I'm not saying that it's a bad thing,
I'm just saying
that maybe you need to own it,
because it keeps getting in the way.
Right.
- Hey. - Hey!
I am so sorry to interrupt your day.
I'm sure you were doing something fun.
Not that much. What do you got?
The thing is, C and I were at rehearsal,
- and-- - Rehearsal?
For our forensic a capella group,
Clues Traveler.
- Clues Traveler, huh? - Yeah.
Yeah, it's a play on, uh... never mind.
Anyway, he wanted you to see this,
but he had to take Rachel to the airport,
and there was this problem with her suitcase, and--
Yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha.
What, uh, what'd you need me to see?
Right. Uh...
Murder victim.
Apparently, the cranial morphology
means he's white.
Partial closure of the skull sutures
says he was in his early 20s at time of death,
about seven years ago.
Did C get that from the bones?
No. There was some garbage under the remains,
a receipt from 2017.
Trace evidence strikes again.
Hmm. Early 20s. That's a little young to start
- losing your teeth, huh? - Exactly.
Between that and mineral deposits in his bones,
C thinks well-water consumption,
which means he's Amish.
A lot of them wear dentures from a young age.
A young Amish kid from seven years ago?
Yeah.
Is that Jedidiah Lapp?
That's why it's so urgent.
They need DNA to confirm, but your name was on the file,
so C wanted you to know right away.
Yeah, um...
it's my first case with MPU.
His wife, Lucy, thought that he came to Philadelphia.
I mean, I did what I could,
but her community stonewalled me.
Couple days later, my boss,
he gives the case to Lancaster PD.
He didn't want to mess up our closure rate.
It's been bothering me ever since.
I'm sorry.
Where were the remains found?
Construction site at Center City,
near the Delaware.
All right. I'll contact Lucy.
- I owe her that. - Okay.
[Jason] It's like the beginning of every bad horror movie.
Fiancé takes ex-husband out into the woods,
two go in, one come out.
Will you calm down?
Okay, it just confuses me,
'cause last time I checked,
when a missing person ends up dead,
Homicide takes over,
and then we go about our business.
- Oh. Really? - Other business. Yeah.
'Cause last I checked, that's the exact opposite
of what you're doing with that car bomb case.
Right. That's different.
Because I know
that Braun delivered a patsy
to get me to stop digging.
- [scoffing] - Okay? And I-- Well, I know that
because last night, I called the prison
and I set up an interview with Logan Barlowe.
- An interview about what? - Who cares?
I made something up. What difference does it make?
The point is, that was last night.
This morning, I get an official reprimand.
Wait. Braun dinged your jacket?
Some crap about insubordination.
Eh, it just lets me know that I'm onto something.
You wanna know what it lets me know?
Is that Braun is setting up a case to fire you.
Reprimand is strike one, then it'll be a suspension,
and when you hit strike three, and we both know
you will do something to hit strike three,
you're out.
I think it's very sweet
that you're concerned about losing your partner.
That touches me. Thank you.
I'm concerned
that you keep putting Nikki in the middle of it.
Anyway, tell me about the case, please, before I kill myself.
[Mike] That's Penn Poultry Farms.
It's a factory chicken operation.
Huh. [chuckling]
So we're talking fowl play here.
Are you done?
He's an Amish guy. His name's Jedidiah Lapp.
Came into a ton of land when his parents died,
but then he disappeared.
Buggy was abandoned.
Horse was miles away, but no Jed.
Okay, so how does Penn Poultry Farms fit in?
His wife told me they were interested in buying the land.
Said they were aggressive about it.
Big Agriculture's not really your usual murder suspect.
Well, it's a theory. There's no time to prove it.
Couldn't even prove foul play.
- [Jason inhales] - Don't say it.
Shut up. Don't. Don't.
Dad. These are officers
from the Philadelphia Police Department.
Do you remember Michael?
He tried to help us when Jedidiah went missing.
I don't care who they are. They don't belong.
Okay, uh, Mr. Miller--
[Mike and Lucy] "Deacon."
[Jason] Deacon,
uh, we're just here to offer you
and your family some closure.
- Closure? - [Jason] Mm.
Did you find Jedidiah?
Remains were found last week
at a Center City construction site.
We think it may be Jedidiah.
Oh...
- [cries] - [Mike] I'm sorry, Lucy.
I know it's a tough ask,
but we're gonna need a DNA sample to confirm.
Um, do you have anything that he owned?
Um, I mean, hair brush,
or a piece of clothing? Something like that?
[clears throat] How have you been, Michael?
I'm good, thanks.
He's really good. He's about to get married.
- To my ex-wife. - Unimportant.
[footsteps approaching]
I braided this for Jed.
It's a summer hat he loved.
No one has worn it since.
That's perfect, Lucy. Thanks.
[Amos] You have what you need.
Leave.
I think, just my opinion,
you should give yourself a break.
Okay? You came out here to--
Her family shut me out again.
All right? I probably never mentioned that,
but it's a little bit of a trigger for me.
A-ha. This about last night?
Oh, look at you picking up on nuance.
[stairs creaking]
[knocking]
Lucy?
Liebchen?
I understand you're grieving all over again,
but we won't eat supper without you.
Lucy?
Amos. Lucy's gone. Amos!
[Nikki] Jason, you're killing me.
Hey. Everything okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
But forget what I said about looking into Logan Barlowe.
I'm afraid someone's watching.
I assure you
that Kemi Adebayo isn't looking into anything.
Okay. So this information that Kemi Adebayo didn't look into,
where are we?
Barlowe got two large wire transfers,
one just after the car bomb he confessed to,
and the source of the money is unclear,
but I'd have to be a little less discreet
to get the information on the wires.
So Jason's right? It's a setup?
Yeah. He's right to be curious. Yeah.
Put a pin in it for now.
[Miriam] Thank you.
The Elders, including my husband,
were against my coming here.
I don't care how they punish me.
I just want to bring my Lucy home.
She never leaves our community, Captain.
She's a simple girl, but has a stubborn spirit.
I'm afraid for her.
Is there anywhere that she might have gone
that you know of?
[exhaling deeply]
I know that God's ways cannot be understood
and must be accepted,
but I cannot bear the thought of losing her
the way we lost Jed.
Do you have a photograph of Lucy?
It would help our search.
Photographs are a vanity,
a violation of the second Commandment.
Right. I understand.
Does that mean you cannot help?
Photograph or not, we will find her.
Yeah. Yeah, thanks anyway.
What was that?
Lancaster PD's got nothing.
Lucy only left the community once,
when she reported Jed missing.
Now I show up again and give bad news,
and she disappears? I don't like it.
[Nikki] Well, her mother said the same thing.
But you said the father was a piece of work.
Maybe she had enough and ran?
[Mike] No, Lucy's not impulsive.
So either I opened up an old can of worms
and she didn't feel safe,
or I made someone else nervous, and they grabbed her.
You're worked up about the case,
or us?
I don't know. Both?
This case messed me up bad last time.
It cost me a relationship.
- Just everything fell apart. - [Nikki] Hey.
We're gonna be fine, Mike.
Even if Lucy left voluntarily,
I'm the reason why someone
who barely knows the world around their home ran away.
She needs our help, Nik.
[knocking]
Hey, I pulled a screen grab from your interview, uh,
when Lucy reported Jed missing in 2017.
That's all we need.
- Issue the alert, statewide. - [Kemi] Got you.
Ta-da!
"Ta-da." What does that mean?
[Helen] I went through Jed's pockets.
Mostly what you'd expect, crushed seeds, sawdust.
But are you ready for this?
A wad of paper.
Okay. What's on it?
No idea.
That's your big update?
I mean, it's a thing,
pulling an impression off decomposed paper,
but pull, I will.
All right. Well, if Jed had this
on him the night that he was killed, then--
Maybe we can get the one that got away.
Yeah.
- Hey, uh... - Yeah?
We got a hit on the Alert?
Uh, dozens. She's everywhere.
We basically have sightings
of every Amish woman in Philadelphia.
Turns out, most people don't see past the clothing
to the woman who wears them.
So we got nothing?
[Kemi] No, we have a big something.
I ran facial recognition, and I got a match to
CCTV from a bus station
in Center City from last night.
- So she's here in Philly? - [Kemi] Yeah.
[Nikki] Doesn't look like she was taken.
[Kemi] No, but she does looks scared.
I mean, clearly she came all this way for a reason.
The question is, what?
♪ ...will fall upon thy name ♪
♪ Stay, Frederic, stay! ♪
♪ Nay, Mabel, nay! ♪
♪ Tonight I quit these walls ♪
♪ The thought my soul appalls ♪
♪ But when stern duty calls I must obey! ♪
- ♪ Stay, Frederic, stay! ♪ - ♪ Nay, Mabel, nay! ♪
♪ They have no claim... ♪
Hey, hey, Helen. Helen. Hey, can you turn that down?
[turns music off]
Not a Pirates of Penzance fan?
I get it. Gilbert and Sullivan isn't for everyone.
But this one is so romantic.
I love a saucy tenor.
[camera shutter clicking]
I'm sorry. I'm just, you know,
I'm stressed about the case, wedding stuff.
Oh. The wedding. Of course.
By the way, congrats.
I mean, not that I'm invited,
but I'm really excited for you.
Yeah, that. Um...
Well, you know, we made the guest list
before you came on the team, so...
[chuckling awkwardly]
But, uh, you reconstitute that paper,
consider yourself invited.
Challenge accepted.
Oh. I love weddings.
And a workplace romance.
Honestly,
I can't imagine working with my S.O.
- Seems like a minefield. - Don't get me started.
So, what do you make of it?
Check, please.
Oh, uh...
Looks like this was a check.
[Mike] Boy, that is a lot of zeroes.
What would an Amish farmer be doing with that kind of money?
That's a good question.
- Can you zoom in on the name? - Mm-hmm.
"Agritex Signa--"
Agritex.
Penn Poultry Farms' parent company.
Why would they give an Amish guy this much money?
I mean, that's a lot of quilts.
Yeah, well, Lucy was right. They really wanted that land.
Question is,
- bad enough to kill for it? - [sighs]
8th and Market.
That's just a few blocks from the bus station
- where Lucy was last seen. - Yes, it is.
[security] I'm sorry. Without a warrant, you need a prior authorization.
I can't believe this is happening again.
Mike, we're gonna have to reconsider our investment.
Investment?
But I thought you were detectives.
- [Jason] We are detectives. - Well, it's technically
-"Detective Sergeant," but-- - Here's the point.
We represent the Police Pension Fund,
and if our money
is not good enough for your supervisor's time...
I mean, you know, then, we'll have to
take our money elsewhere.
- Why don't you go tell your boss that? - Wait.
- Give me one second. I'll double-check. - Great!
Why you gotta lie to everybody?
Let me ask you a question. When's the last time
telling the truth got you what you actually wanted?
My batting average was pretty good
before you started messing around.
[Jason] Oh, your batting average?
Did you know that Hall of Fame batting average
means you miss the ball 70% of the time?
So your analogy proves--
[Mike] You're gonna talk baseball
with the guy who played baseball?
[Jason] I'm just telling you.
Are we having a problem, gentlemen?
No, no, no problem.
Just a philosophical discussion.
I'm Tilda Harvey, CEO of Agritex.
Sergeant Mike Sherman, Detective Jason Grant.
- How do you do? - I understand
your union is looking to invest.
It's a little odd that you guys would come to us directly.
Usually we're approached through equity funds.
Right, well, we are looking for direct investments
in, uh, in growth markets.
In fact, do you have, um,
any time for us in private, maybe?
Anything for the boys in blue.
Follow me.
I hate him.
So much.
Have you or any of your colleagues,
come into contact with a woman named Lucy Lapp?
I thought we were gonna discuss the F.O.P. Pension Fund.
Yeah, but you said "anything for the boys in blue,"
and right now, the boys in blue wanna know where Lucy Lapp is.
What makes you think I know who this is?
Well, because your subsidiary, Penn Poultry Farms,
tried to buy her husband's land back in 2017.
[Mike] A sale he was against.
We think that he was gonna return the check to you,
and then, he conveniently disappeared.
Turns out he was murdered.
[Jason] His widow, Lucy,
um, she was just seen around here,
presumably coming to see you,
and now she's disappeared,
so maybe you can help us explain that.
I have no idea about any of this.
Here we are.
According to the file,
when Mr. Lapp disappeared,
and with his parents already deceased,
the land went back to the community,
as is their custom.
We cut a second check
because their deacon sold their land
to Penn Poultry Farms.
Really?
Uh, would that be a Deacon Amos Miller?
That's the one.
He signed the paperwork and cashed the check.
I'm sorry you came all this way,
but if the woman you're looking for
had a problem with the sale,
she's about seven years too late.
[Mike, over speaker] Now, in 2017,
when I investigated Jed's disappearance,
you didn't mention that control
of his family's land was passed on to you.
That thought was far away from my mind.
And it did not pass to me.
It passed to the community.
As deacon, it is my duty
to manage transactions like this,
but that is all.
[Mike] Okay. Let me be direct.
Jed was killed for a reason,
and about two million of those reasons
were in a check that you deposited.
See, I think there's a connection between Jed's death
and Lucy's disappearance,
and that connection
is you.
I want to speak to my wife.
[door opens and closes]
Uh, his honor the deacon isn't giving up anything.
Speaking of giving up...
Oh, you were cc'd on the reprimand?
What am I gonna do? Braun's coming after me.
I know that it's a warning,
and I know that you don't care, okay?
That scares me, Jay. You keep pushing,
I'm not gonna be able to save you.
Well, I didn't ask you to save me.
That's not what I'm asking for, okay?
If there's a target on my back, there's a target on my back.
What if it puts a target on all of our backs?
Then we can do the right thing, or we can do the easy thing.
- It's your call. - Is it?
No, I was being polite. Did it work out?
Yep, he knows something,
- but he only wants to talk to his wife. - [Nikki] Hmm.
[Mike] Probably scold her for coming here in the first place.
What do we do? Let him stew?
No, bring in wifey, let 'em get into a fight,
and maybe we'll hear something we want to hear.
- Yeah, he's right. Give the deacon what he wants. - [Mike] Hmm.
[door opens]
All right. Your wife's here. You got what you wanted.
Okay? Now we need answers.
Okay? We need to try to find Lucy.
Before you came to our home, Lucy was fine.
It is always this way for us.
The English come, and we suffer...
just like those poor children at the schoolhouse.
Yeah, I remember that case.
Five children dead,
community attended the shooter's funeral.
Our worlds are different.
We may forgive,
but we do not forget.
Okay, well, don't forget that I'm just trying to help your daughter.
- Amos. - I will take care of my own family.
Listen. It's too late for that.
Your wife already reported Lucy missing.
Now, we know she's in Philadelphia.
If she wasn't running from somebody,
maybe she was running to someone.
Is there somebody in Philly she knows?
- Somebody she would come to see? - No.
Oh, please, Amos!
Michael is trying to help.
[speaking in Pennsylvania Dutch] ...Ezekiel.
Lucy... [continuing in Pennsylvania Dutch]
Nee! Ezekiel... [continuing in Pennsylvania Dutch]
[speaking in Pennsylvania Dutch] ...Lucy iss.
[speaking in Pennsylvania Dutch]
[Mike] Hey, Deacon Miller.
Lucy might be in trouble, okay? I'm just trying to help.
We're going home.
Well, I'm glad you figured something out,
because there is no way in hell
that anybody in this office speaks Pennsylvania Dutch.
I've always wanted to learn it.
It's a Palatine German dialect,
and, you know, your girl took a little bit of German.
Hey, you thinking of breakin' Amish?
[chuckling] No, but contrary to popular belief,
there are some Black Amish, thank you.
But I did build a translate function
into our platform. Take a look at this.
[speaking in Pennsylvania Dutch]
[Kemi] All right, so it looks like
Miriam thinks that Lucy came out
to see someone named Ezekiel.
Um, apparently, he was excommunicated at some point.
[Nikki] So how do we find Ezekiel?
[knocking]
[exhaling]
Lucy.
Guder Daag.
Wow. It's you.
I don't understand the addresses.
I've been searching for your home for hours.
May I come inside?
Oh, of course.
Uh, please.
Uh, sit.
Can I get you something?
Uh, water?
[Lucy] No. Thank you.
[chuckles nervously]
I'm sorry I haven't written in a while.
[chuckles]
Your letters got me through dark times.
I should have sent more.
I read each one a thousand times.
And now,
you're here. All the better.
What's wrong?
Zeke...
I came to tell you that they found him.
Jed?
They found Jed?
They found his body.
Blessed be the Father of mercies
who comforts us in all our affliction...
That we may comfort those who are in any affliction...
Through which we, ourselves, are comforted by God.
Excuse me, please.
Anything?
Um, since the Amish keep their own birth records,
and they don't have driver's licenses,
there's only one government record available.
Social Security?
Sort of. It's Form 4029.
So, no one's actually obligated
to get a Social Security Number,
so Old-Order Amish usually decline them,
uh, but to do that,
they have to submit a Waiver of Benefits,
so at least we have
a haystack to look for our needle.
[Mike] There's gotta be a dozen Ezekiels in Lancaster County.
[Kemi] Yeah. Any approximate age?
[Mike] According to C, he was 22 at the age of death,
which means he'd be about 29 today,
same age as Lucy.
Maybe they grew up together.
Um, let's try forms submitted from 1992
to 2000, for a little bit of a buffer.
Let's see.
- Mike? - [Mike] What?
[Kemi] There's an Ezekiel Lapp that was submitted
August 1995
by Leonard and Elizabeth Lapp,
Jed's parents.
Son of a bitch. They lied to me.
They didn't tell me Jed had a brother.
It was that same officer I spoke to
when Jed disappeared.
You spoke to the police?
To Michael Sherman.
He told me they found Jed's body.
What do they know?
- What do you mean? - [Zeke] Who are they after?
- Did they say? - [Lucy] "After"?
Zeke, why are you--
Do they know you're here?
I'm sorry I upset you. Maybe I should go.
Do the police know that you are here?
Nobody knows I'm here.
Oh, I'm not gonna hurt you.
Lucy, I... I love you.
[Zeke gasps]
I never stopped loving you.
[machine trills and beeps]
Hey, what do you got?
[Helen] Great timing.
Looks like I may have something for you.
♪ VMD forever! ♪
VMD? What is that?
Vacuum metal deposition, baby,
Helen Park style, supercharged.
Anyway, because there was blood on Jed's clothing,
I was able to pull a partial print.
All right, great. Can you run it through the database?
Already on it.
And bingo.
The print matches an Ezekiel Lapp.
Jed's brother.
He's in the system for a 2019 assault charge.
All right. We gotta find this guy, quick.
He got a driver's license in January 2017.
Are you sure?
I mean, these Amish are old-school,
so he probably wouldn't drive.
Says he got it right here in Lawndale.
That's months before Jed was murdered.
He must've left the community.
That's why they didn't mention him.
What if Lucy came here to see the man
who killed her husband?
Okay, so Patrol checked the address
on Ezekiel's license.
He moved out two years ago.
Which means he could be anywhere,
and he probably has Lucy.
Hey!
This is just a peace offering.
Um, I might have somebody who can help us find Zeke.
Lady named Leah.
She's an Amish gal,
and, uh, I might have dated her.
Oh, an Amish woman, Jay? Seriously?
Well, I didn't know she was Amish at the time, at first, you know?
She was doing her, um...
What do you call it? The thing with the rump... Rumpshaker?
- Rumspringa. - [Jason] Rumspringa. That's right.
Sow your oats, see the world,
uh, decide if you wanna go back.
Um, it's like a get-out-of-jail-free card.
[Mike] Yeah, okay,
but you're usually a teenager when you do that.
Right, but she wasn't a teenager, Mike.
She was 23 years old.
- Oh, that's better. - All right, all right,
all right, all right. For the love of God, just get to the point.
Right, um, I ran into her recently,
and she's running this group for, um, the ex-Amish,
whatever that means,
and, um, she can help us.
Um, I just, I don't think she's gonna be very happy to see me.
- Might be a little awkward. - Yeah. Just do it.
- I'm doing it. - [Nikki] Okay.
Sure you don't want to wait in the car?
Oh, there is a zero-percent chance I'm missing this.
It's really not that big a deal. We went on a couple dates.
You broke an Amish heart. Admit it.
Shh.
[Jason] Hi.
Oh. Hello, Jason.
Very good to see you. Thanks for having us.
- This is my partner, Mike. - Hey.
Yeah, unlike some people, when I make an appointment, I keep it.
[chuckles]
Well, uh, thanks for helping us out.
We think that somebody
from your former community might be in danger.
- And not from him? - [sighs]
I like you. I like her.
Actually, you were the perfect introduction
- to the real world. - You see?
Yeah, I learned what "ghosting" meant.
I didn't ghost you.
All right, now that we got the awkwardness out of the way,
we were wondering if you know who this was.
His name's Ezekiel Lapp. That's his driver's license.
Guys, there's 87,000 Amish people in Pennsylvania.
That's a lot of felt hats.
It's a joke. Nobody's got a sense of humor? I'm kidding.
Look, I'm sorry, I don't know him,
but I take it from the driver's license
he left the community, which, by the way, isn't easy,
even if you don't happen to meet Jason Grant.
So, I guess we're out of luck?
Maybe...
I have a friend
who helps a lot of us find jobs, apartments.
- [Mike] Mm-hmm - Could you maybe, uh, reach out to him,
'cause we really gotta find this guy.
- Please, please? - Did he do something,
or did someone do something to him?
I don't know. Which answer gets us the info we're looking for?
I'll do it. But only because you were my first.
Really?
First phone number.
[Mike] Oh...
You never forget your first.
Oh, what, husband? I've noticed.
Okay, just speak on it, please, already.
Look, I know that you and Nikki are up to something, okay?
And I've repeatedly asked you to not do what?
- I don't know. - If you want
to sabotage yourself with Braun, be my guest. Okay?
But I'm asking you for the last time,
leave Nikki out of it.
Gotcha. You done?
- Yeah. - Hey.
Zeke. Your guy, Ezekiel, goes by "Zeke."
My friend does know him.
He got him a job at Penn Poultry Farms.
He also put him in touch with the landlord at this place.
Thank you very much.
It's very good to see you. I will--
Call me? Don't.
Gotcha. You look great.
- Ezekiel Lapp! - [knocking loudly]
Philly PD!
[quietly] Here we go.
- [Mike] Ready? - [Jason] Yeah.
[Mike] Clear.
[Jason] Clear. He's gone.
Hmm. Lucy was here.
[Mike] How do you know that?
[Jason] 'Cause this blanket right here,
it's only done in one spot, like she was messing with it,
and it's the same weave
from the hat that she made for Jed.
Check this out.
He's obsessed with her. Got a whole box of these.
Hmm. Imagine he wasn't too thrilled
that she married his brother.
[Mike] Sure as hell gives us a motive for the murder.
Right.
So, she walks through this door,
tells a murderer that we found the victim,
- what does that tell you? - She's in trouble.
We gotta find her, quick.
[Lucy humming nervously]
[Zeke] We'll go someplace.
Some place where we can be together. Maybe Canada?
Right? You'd like that, wouldn't you?
I like you, Zeke,
- but I'm not ready to-- - It was a mistake, Lucy.
What was a mistake?
Jed! He waited until my Rumspringa to propose.
That's why I stayed away, because I couldn't come back, and then when...
And then when you got married, I was angry,
but I wanted to look him in the eye,
and see why he did that, when he knew
how I felt about you!
What happened, Zeke?
I went to see him after work,
but all that anger, there was no talking. There was...
pushing, and...
he fell, and he hit his head.
Look, I didn't mean to hurt him. I...
I'd lost you already! And my home.
I...
panicked, and I hid the body.
You sinned.
And then you lied about it.
If I had turned myself in,
you never would have forgiven me!
[breath shaking] I would have.
I do forgive you, Zeke.
Do you remember how we used to sit across
from each other at singing?
Of course.
♪ I will meet ♪
♪ You in the morning ♪
♪ I'll be waiting ♪
♪ For you there ♪
[together] ♪ I will meet you ♪
♪ Yes, I'll meet you ♪
♪ I will meet you over there ♪
It's good to hear you sing again.
Maybe we can start over. Be together.
You mean it?
I do.
But we would need money.
- Yeah. - And we both know where to find it.
My father.
[gasping]
Ezekiel was in love with Lucy, but she chose his brother?
It's all very Francesca Da Rimini.
- [Nikki] Huh? - Um, she was
betrothed to this noble,
Gianciotto Di Malatesta,
fell in love with his brother,
and then Gianciotto killed them both.
Luckily, not one of my past lives.
[Nikki] That doesn't really help, Kemi.
- We have an expired license. - Yeah.
He never registered a vehicle with the DMV.
But...
you can't get too far in Pennsylvania without an...
- What? - ...E-ZPass.
Jackpot.
Uh, we have an active account
registered under Zeke's old license.
Come on. We need a break.
Mike needs a break here. Come on.
[Kemi] Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
It was used ten minutes ago
on the westbound I-76 toll road.
They're headed back to Amish Country.
Call Jason.
[Kemi] He's driving a blue hatchback.
[Jason] Got it. Thanks, Kemi.
Well, this is obviously a rhetorical question,
but why would Zeke
be going back to the people who shunned him?
Right? He kills his own brother.
What, do you think he's just dropping Lucy off at home?
Best case, Lucy got in his head, she's buying time.
Uh-huh. And worst case,
she doesn't make it out of this thing alive.
Look. There's the hatchback.
[siren chirping]
- Go easy. Don't get too close. - We need confirmation that Lucy's in the car.
All right, someone's definitely in the passenger seat.
Is it her?
It's her. Pull over.
[tires screech]
- [Jason] Whoa! Whoa! - [Lucy gasps]
How many cars you been through this year?
You're not helping!
- Let me out! - Stop!
Please, Zeke. You're scaring me.
Nikki. Hey, we need Lancaster PD.
- He's getting away. - [horse whinnying]
No, he's not! I'm on it!
Seriously?
[horse huffing]
Ho.
[cell phone vibrating]
- Yeah? - [Jason] Well, they abandoned the car.
The only thing around here is a barn.
[Mike] Yeah, all right. I see it.
I'm coming as fast as I can. Don't wait for me.
All right.
It's the police. You knew they'd find us here.
- You tricked me. - I didn't. I swear.
Please, Zeke. Don't do this.
You said you wanted to be together.
I was scared.
[horse snorts]
[Lucy] Zeke, don't do this.
[Zeke] I've waited seven years.
Zeke! Hey! Philly PD.
I need you to come down, nice and calm.
I won't hurt her.
- Just let us go. - [Mike] Can't do that.
Look.
Why don't you drop the weapon, okay?
I know you love her.
That's not what you do to people you love.
Put it down.
- [Lucy gasps] - [Jason grunting]
[Zeke groaning]
[gasping and wheezing]
No!
[Mike] Hands behind your back.
You're under arrest for the murder of Jedidiah Lapp.
Don't move.
[Jason] Hey.
The, uh, the horse,
that was for you.@
I know you needed a win. We good now?
Yeah. We're good.
[footsteps approaching]
Heard you're vying for the mounted patrol.
Yeah, yeah. I think that was a one-time thing.
- My ass is killing me. - [chuckles]
What's the matter? You okay?
Nikki had me dig into Logan Barlowe.
And?
He has a life insurance policy,
a massive payout for his family.
That's convenient.
Uh, what's convenient is that
the policy was taken out two days before his confession.
- Right. - [Kemi] Mm-hmm.
- The guy's terminally ill. - Yep.
No insurance company is writing that policy.
Not without the pressure of someone powerful.
- Uh-huh. - Yeah.
Like maybe, um,
a well-connected Police Inspector?
[quietly] Yeah.
What else is bugging you?
"Unauthorized use of Department resources
for personal matters."
Personal matters?
You know, I've worked law enforcement
for over a decade, and not one blemish.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. I'm a big girl. I made a choice, so...
Look, um...
this hunt?
We better get it right, Jason,
or Braun is gonna burn us all down.
Thank you both again.
We won't forget your kindness.
I can't believe the deacon invited us.
I thought he hated MPU.
Well, these people are experts at forgiveness.
[Nikki chuckles]
Maybe we could learn something.
Yeah, I want to apologize for how I've been acting.
You let me bring Lucy the news,
you put out the Alert when we weren't sure.
You had my back the whole way.
- You were right. - Yeah, well,
I didn't know that. It was just my gut.
Like Jay and the Braun thing.
And what's between me and Jay, that's for life.
I gotta own that.
But it doesn't mean I love you any less.
[Mike] I know.
But from now on, we communicate.
Deal?
Deal.
You know, I don't want to be too forward,
but I think our knees just touched.
Mm. You better save some
for the wedding night, you animal. [chuckles]
You wanna stop for a pretzel?
I'd rather go home.
