An Amish Murder Page #2

You already called bci.

Yeah, yeah...

- Yeah.

And they're sending over a profiler.

It's still your case.

Oh, come on, don't look

at me like that, Kate.

He's supposed to be very good.

Course he is.

Jay...

Jay, you haven't answered the question.

What's your point?

- Why me, and why now?

- Why'd I give you an assignment?

You're still on active duty.

That four-month bender you've been on.

...doesn't entitle you...

- whoa, whoa, now. Hold on, now.

I think a four-month

bender entitles me to, uh...

- John, work the case,

or I'm suspending you.

It's up to you.

Any questions?

Eh, just one.

Why are you always such a jerk?

Nichols?

Right here, chief.

Do a nationwide check:

All deaths by exsanguination.

- Plus anything with Roman numerals.

I figure we're looking for

murders six through ten.

- Exactly. And, Mona?

That's me.

- Send T.J... Down to the

county clerk's office.

- Sure. What do you need?

I want a list.

...of all abandoned

properties in the county.

Because?

- Well, that girl wasn't

killed in the field.

It had to be somewhere remote.

And we'll search them

all as crime scenes.

Okay, boss.

Oh, do you want your messages?

Anything important?

Mayor wants a progress report.

Course he does.

- Hey, you know a storm's coming in.

Hi, Sarah.

I need to see Jacob.

Jacob?

Your sister is here.

That cabinet, did you make it?

It's beautiful.

Why you've come here?

There's been a murder.

You're here as a policeman?

Yes.

All right, then.

An amish girl.

You know this for sure?

We'll know soon enough...

...but, um...

Jacob, she was bled to death.

I need to talk to you about Daniel Lapp.

What is it you want to know?

- I need to know that he's dead.

- And you come to me for this?

- If he is alive, he is killing again.

And if not, someone is copying him.

Jacob, I need to know

what happened that night.

You know what happened.

Dad took him in the buggy.

And you went with him?

Where?

The old grain mill.

Was he dead?

Must have been.

All that blood.

Did dad bury him?

Couldn't see.

I was outside. Dad took him inside.

- Wait. So you don't know if he's dead?

- Kate, I swore to dad I

would never speak of this...

...and you did too.

- Come with me to the old mill.

Why?

I need to be sure, Jacob.

You mean dig him up?

Are you listening to yourself?

You want to know about Daniel Lapp...

...go talk to Lucas Holtz.

He managed the Lapp farm for years.

Give you a reason.

...to apologize for leaving without a word.

The man you were gonna marry.

- That's it? That's

all you have to say?

It was a dark and ugly thing.

We all felt pain from that time.

I know that.

You smiled at Daniel Lapp.
