This tomato picker is moving
cocaine by the kilo,

but his lawyer works for free?

Everyone here has to do
their fair share of pro bono work,

and I am no exception.

- His fingers or his life!
- (man screaming)

Will you make me the happiest
man in the world and be my wife?

This is Judge Pettigrew.

It's now up to the
judge to decide custody.

If they talked, the cartel
is now coming after you.

- I have to protect my wife.
- Anna Funk,

will you marry me?

♪♪♪

I cannot answer right now.

Umm,

I... I have to...

- to think about it.
- Of course.

You take all the time you need.

What was he doing?
He was down on one knee.

Your Bauss was down
on one knee in front of you.

What do you think he was doing?

I think... I think
that you are married to me.

Is that what you call it?

When you run away
with no word of where you are?

The law says that after a time,

I am not married if I say that I am not.

The law? What about God?

Anna, you took your vows before God.

God has been very quiet on the subject.

- (dog barking)
- I trusted you. I trusted you!

Look, if I told you she was
there, the man who made her

do this would find out,
and Isaak would be dead.

- You need to start talking!
- She won't tell,

as long as this man is around.
So please, you let me find him,

and I will prove to you that
everything she says is true.

How?

You put me on the wire,

and I will get him to tell me
that he's the real boss,

- not her.
- "On the wire." Oh, my God!

If I fail, you arrest my wife,

but if I succeed, you take down
the whole business.

We know how they move the money.
You should let me follow it

to the real Bauss.

Besides, right now,

I am all you have.

Your choice.

Fine. Talk to your wife.

Something tells me she's not
gonna be so cooperative.

(sigh)

- No.
- You don't know what I was going to say.

You and that Poliez woman
will only make things worse.

I have a plan.

Don't you dare interfere.

What is the plan?

God has forsaken us, Noah...

but I will make sure
our children survive.

(door closing)

Klaas Klassen...

not much to say
about this man, it seems.

It's your typical "back and forther."

No work in Mexico, so he drifts
up here looking for a job.

Like your father?

Maybe.

I don't know.
He left and never came back.

- But you hope one day he will.
- And do what?

Save me?

He stopped being my father
the day he left.

I got another job for you.

You'll need a car.

What's the job?

Does it matter?

Since your husband is not here,

I humbly ask for your
daughter's hand in marriage.

You must protect her from evil

and lead a godly life on the colony.

I promise.

I know what happened to this family.

I know your husband sacrificed himself

to save all of us.

I only hope that I can be

as good a man as he was.

I wish you both

And... and now we must get
Johan's parents' approval.

Yes, of course.

It's, uh, seen better days,

but there's a heart of a lion

She is a classic.

Perfect for a young g*n like you.

In fact, the original owner

Police said Julius

They didn't suffer.

I am so sorry, this is my fault.

Nee. You tried to help.

Please don't... don't blame yourself.

(exhaling)

The thing is...

...Abel and I did not
come here by accident.

What do you mean?

The police know about Julius's business,

so they sent us here to watch.

You and your Brooda

Were you spying on us?

Only Julius and Kyle.

I am so sorry,

Uh, my lawyer just called and

OK, listen. I only called you

I thought you'd rather hear
from me than a lawyer.

I know that things got
out of hand, I know that,

and nobody is sorrier
about that than me.

A criminal held a Kn*fe to your throat

Would you like a coffee?

No. Thank you.

So, the man I saw
when I... when I drove away,

that was Noah, wasn't it?

Yes.

You deserve better.

I am an excommunicated cleaning woman.

Mm-hmm.

You deserve better.

You need a wife who will help you,

not one who will hold you back.

Nothing could hold back my late wife,

she wanted more from life,

more than I could ever give her,

including other men as it turned out.

So we separated, and...

and then years later, she came back

asking for a small fortune.

To pay for a...

an experimental cancer treatment.

But it was no use.

She d*ed feeling...

cheated by life.

And from that day forward,

I vowed to live life joyously.

I was grateful

for all the gifts,

great or small,

that God gives us each and every day.

(distant siren blaring)

I want to see Isaak.

I want to know that he is safe.

And I want to know
that every ounce of milk

from that last bottle has been poured.

The bottle is almost empty.

And in two days,
everyone's glass will be full.

Wow!

I'm impressed. Chihuahua is impressed.

So impressed they want your autograph.

What is this?

I don't suppose a homebody
like you has a passport.

- No.
- Well, there is always a chance

one of your people might get caught.

In that case, you need
to disappear in a hurry.

We have two ways of dealing with that.

Only one involves a plane ticket.

It's up to you.

What about my children?

They can buy a bus ticket.

Yeah. Orff told me.

Yes, it does.

It also teaches us:

"Above all things, have fervent

Your boys are gonna need tractors

Well, Augie, we both know

And I know how much he loves pie.

I was waiting for you to say

But you didn't.

No, I didn't.
