Tonight, at this crucial time,
I want to emphasize why it is so
important that we
have an energy plan
and what we will
risk as a nation
if we are timid or reluctant
to face this challenge.
It's crucial that you
understand how
serious [RADIO STATIC]
Energy problems
are getting worse.
[RADIO STATIC]summer
we used more oil
and gasoline than ever
before in our history.
More of our oil...
[RADIO STATIC]
Hey!
Listen.
You can't just
you OK?
Take me with you.
What?
Please.
Please!
He's coming.
Listen, miss, if
you need some help,
there's a clinic up the...
He's coming.
What is this?
What is this?
Please!
Let me go.
No, please.
No.
Let me go.
No, no, no.
Let me go.
Let me go!
No, wait.
Wait!
Please, wait!
No!
No!
[CELL PHONE BUZZING]
Yes, hello?
Hello, Father.
I'm a caretaker
for Mrs. Schuster.
The family asked
me to get in touch.
We think there isn't much time.
Can you come out?
Did you reach out
to Father Carver?
He serves the parish now.
He's really the one
you should be calling.
They insisted on you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Should I tell them
you can't make it?
No, no.
I'm on my way.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Good morning, Lancaster.
We're back with your update on
the latest traffic and weather.
Skies are partly cloudy
heading into the afternoon,
with an expected high of
58 degrees around 2:00 PM.
Be on the lookout for
slippery road conditions
after this morning's
precipitation.
An accident on Route 30 is
snarling eastbound traffic
into downtown.
Commuters looking to avoid
delays on surface streets
will find some congestion
on Harrisburg Avenue.
A surge of layoffs
in the tech sector
is causing widespread
economic anxiety,
sparking pullbacks in
discretionary spending
and other measures.
In local news, the
Lancaster School Board
will discuss budgeting
for the next fiscal year.
[RADIO STATIC]
increased solar
activity in the form
of large flares
approaching their highest
levels of classification.
The agency director has
described their magnitude
as Carrington class.
[RADIO STATIC]... the most
disruptive solar storm
on record in 1859.
[SOBS]
I just wish there was more time.
Is that selfish of me, Father?
Love is stronger than
any earthly suffering.
I'm sure she would
have wanted that too.
How did she seem at the end?
Was she scared?
I'd be surprised if she wasn't.
It's perfectly natural
to fear the unknown.
What bigger unknown is there
than the life beyond this one?
What I do know is that
she knew she wasn't alone.
Your presence was a
great comfort to her
in the last moments.
So was yours.
[RADIO STATIC]
[TURNS RADIO OFF]
I don't suppose we could
convince you to stay
with the church, I mean.
There's still so
much work to do.
And not enough
time left to do it
not for me, anyway.
You haven't lost
your faith in God.
Have you, Father?
No.
Sometimes, I wonder if
He's lost faith in me.
[GRANDFATHER CLOCK CHIMES]
Oh.
Killed by his own stampede.
Well, I guess that
settles his claim.
I'm happy you have your
land back again, Father.
No, my child.
[POWER SURGES]
Hmm.
Oh, what?

He's coming!
Please!
Oh.
Ugh.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Can I help you?
I'm not where I thought I was.
Please excuse me.
Wait, wait, wait.
I heard crying in the woods.
Are you lost?
I...
[TWIG SNAPS]
Why don't you come
inside for a bit?
Warm yourself up.
Please.
OK.
Oh.
Are you OK?
Sorry, there's...
electricity went out.
Would you like to sit?
Or stand, whatever you like.
Can I get you some water?
Maybe?
I can't heat you up any soup,
but a sandwich, maybe?
All right.
Here you go.
Can we leave the light out?
Please?
Sure.
Yeah, I'll be right back.
What's your name, miss?
Sorry?
Your name?
If you don't mind, I'd rather...
Please.
Hannah.
I'm Douglas.
Here you go.
I'm sure the peanut
butter is not as good
as the way you folks make it.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[CLOCK TICKING]
Good?
Can I get you something else?
A fresh change of clothes?
Could I use the telephone?
I don't know.
Can you?
That's not supposed
to be a joke.
I just assumed...
What's that thing you all say?
You're "in the world,
not of the world"?
We use the telephone.
Well,
You're about six hours
too late, I'm afraid.
I don't understand.
Well,
Here, see for yourself.
No, this isn't a telephone.
Well, it's not now.
It must be bricked or something.
Bricked?
Yeah.
I can't get the darn
thing to turn on.
Guy on the radio said something
about a solar storm,
particles hitting
the atmosphere,
protons, ions.
I don't really know.
Science was never
really my strong suit.
All I do know is.
These lights showed up
as soon as the rest went out.
Have you ever seen
anything like it before?
Once, a long time ago.
Are you sure I can't
give you a ride home?
Somebody's probably
worried sick about you.
No.
No, thank you.
Oh,
I think you might be bleeding.
Oh.
Can I take a look?
[WINCES]
I think we need to
clean this right away.
Is that really necessary?
If you don't want it to
get infected, then yes.
I'll be right back.
[WATER RUNNING]
Are you looking for something?
I was looking for
a first aid bag.
I keep a kit in the kitchen.
This way.
I found this all sealed
up when I moved in.
[GRUNTS] It's a real shame.
Could use the extra heat
on cold nights like this.
But I've seen smoke.
The light.
Oh, I need to see
what I'm doing.
There's... there's
nobody around for acres.
Are you sure he won't see?
Who?
Your father?
My fi
my husband.
Oh, it's that new, huh?
Newer.
Weeks?
Hours.
Oh, I'm really
sorry to hear that.
OK.
Sit down.
Stocking too, please.
[WHIMPERS]
It's hot.
Is it too hot?
You OK?
OK.
[WINCES]
Are you sure you don't
have a telephone?
No.
[LAUGHS] I think I'd know.
Who is it you're
trying to reach anyway?
I think anybody you're trying to
call is probably already asleep.
You know,
you can talk to me, Hannah,
If you want to.
There's resources,
Women's shelters, counselors.
You don't have to
protect him, Hannah.
He already has more than enough.
What?
Protection.
Why don't I talk to him?
There's no talking to him.
There's only him talking at you.
Loudly.
Why don't you talk to me then?
Let me help.
You know, you can trust me.
I've kept a lot of other
people's secrets over the years.
I have nothing to hide.
Except yourself.
[GASPS]
There's a market
close to our farm.
A nice English family owns it.
The summer of my Rumspringa,
I found myself
befriending their son.
He's only a couple of
months older than me.
We spent a lot of time together,
just...
Talking,
Laughing, walking in the woods.
He was a good friend.
One kiss.
That's all, nothing more.
At the end of the summer, I
I decided to commit
myself to the Ordnung.
When I told him
I couldn't see him
anymore, he became upset.
He went around town
saying such awful,
wicked things about me,
Things I would never,
never do with my own husband,
let alone another man.
By the time I met
Abraham, I thought...
Your husband?
I thought it'd been forgotten.
You know how people move on
to the next exciting thing.
Mm-hmm.
But a man at the factory knew,
He knew my English friend,
and he remembered my name.
He told him the
the stories, the lies.
And he...
He never looked at me
the same way after that.
Hmm.
Did you ever try to
reach out to anyone?
A friend, a minister,
perhaps, maybe?
The minister's first
and only question
was what I had done
to make my husband
so angry with me.
Before I knew it,
Abraham was there
to take me home again.
I never even called for him.
Somehow, he always finds me.
Not here.
[DOOR OPENING]
Here we are.
I don't get too many guests,
so I mainly use it as a study.
Uh... oh, OK.
What else?
Oh, sheets.
There we go.
And... come on.
Come on in.
Do you need anything else?
A blanket, clothes?
No?
OK.
Oh, wait one second.
Don't want to forget this.
Here you go.
OK, so try to get some rest.
We'll wake up in
the morning, we'll
try to figure out
what to do next, OK?
You promise you won't
call for my husband?
I couldn't even if I wanted to.
OK.
Well, good night.
Hope I didn't wake the others.
The others?
Your family.
I live here alone.
I assumed you were
the grandfather.
The grandfather?
To who?
I've never had children.
Oh.
OK.
Well, I'll be downstairs
if you need me, so
just let me know.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS]
[HANNAH CRYING]
Hannah?
Is everything OK?
[MUSIC BOX PLAYS]
I'm coming in.
Hannah?
Hannah.
Hannah?
Hannah!
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
No!
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Oh, thank God.
I thought you'd gone.
I'm not where I thought I was.
Please excuse me.
Hannah?
Come back inside.
Before he sees you.
Please.
Oh!
Whoa.
You OK?
Go ahead and sit.
Or stand, whatever you like.
Let me take your coat.
Where did you go?
Hannah.
How'd you know my name?
It's me,
Douglas.
Could I use your telephone?
I don't... I don't have one.
You know that.
OK.
Could we leave the light out?
You were OK with it before.
I don't under...
Before?
Yeah.
I was cleaning up your...
What?
I... I really
I really must be going.
He'll see me.
He's coming!
It is you.
Do we know each other?
Abraham is not going
to find you here.
He can't hurt you anymore.
What?
The bruises.
On your wrist.
What bruises?
Wait a minute.
I saw them.
I want to show you something.
Do you recognize this person?
You don't remember me?
I've never seen you before.
You have.
When?
A long time ago,
When I was a young man,
Same age as I am right there.
I'm going to go.
Hannah.
I have the wrong house.
No.
Calm down, OK?
Just listen to me.
No, you really should...
Please let me go.
Give me the coat, OK?
Hold on.
OK, just listen to me.
You're hurting me!
OK.
Listen, please.
I just wanted to
use the telephone.
Hannah, you don't need one.
You're exactly where
you need to be.
I know how crazy this sounds.
But God works in
mysterious ways, right?
Hannah,
This is a miracle.
You are a miracle.
I am not going to
abandon you again.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hannah!
Hannah, just stop.
Listen!
Hello?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Hello?
Where are they?
Where are they?
They're the ones that
live here, not you.
I don't know these people.
They let me use the
telephone sometimes
this one, the one
you lied about.
I didn't lie to you.
I'm not lying.
Hannah, please,
you have to believe me.
You are not where
you think you are.
What?
You're not when
you think you are.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
No one has seen you for years,
Decades.
You're lying.
You just got to believe me.
Stay back.
Hannah?
Stop saying my name.
Hannah, just give me the phone.
Don't.
Give me the phone, Hannah.
Don't.
Hannah, just... just...
Stop!
Stay back.
Wait.
Stay away from me.
Hannah, you don't understand.
Please.
Just listen.
Please, leave me alone!
Wait.
Wait!
[TUMBLING]
[GASPING]
Oh, God.
Where is it?
Oh, oh.
[HANNAH CRYING]
It's going to be OK.
It's going to be OK.
It's going to be OK.
OK.
Stay calm.
Stay calm, OK?
Does that hurt?
I don't think it's broken.
Thank God.
What?
What?
What?
What?
Ice.
Ice?
Ice.
Ice.
Ice for the swelling, right.
[WATER RUNNING]
[GASPS]
What are you doing?
I wasn't lying to you before.
I've never seen that telephone.
I've never seen any of this.
What?
OK.
What are you doing?
Well, we don't have
everything we need
in my kit downstairs, so
we're going to
have to improvise.
There we go.
A little something
I learned on a
mission to South America.
OK.
Please, just let me go.
I won't say anything.
Where are you going to go?
Back to him?
Just let me help, please.
I know it hurts.
[HANNAH CRYING]
It's going to be OK.
One more moment.
40 years, not even a wrinkle.
You're going to have to tell me
your secret sometime.
He already knows I'm
here, doesn't he?
No.
You're keeping me
until he arrives.
I'm not going to let
that happen, Hannah.
I thought I couldn't
remember that face.
Please!
But I never forgot that look.
I've lived an entire lifetime
with the weight of that
decision that night.
It wasn't even
really a decision.
It's more like a
knee-jerk reaction,
which told every bone
in my body to just run.
No, please!
For years, I've just agonized
over what kind of horrible
fate I'd left you to.
I just hoped, in time,
maybe I could forget.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[HANNAH SCREAMING]
I don't know why God has decided
to give me a second chance,
But now that I have one,
I have no intention
of squandering it.
I'm thirsty.
What?
Water.
Glasses are downstairs.
Please.
Sure.
[GRUNTS]
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I'll just be a few minutes.
[WATER RUNNING]

Hey, listen, you can't just
you OK?
Take me with you.
What?
Please.
Please.
He's coming.
Listen, miss, if
you need some help,
there's a clinic...
He's coming.
Who?
What is this?
What is this?
Please!
Douglas.
What did you say?
Take me with you.
You know my name?
Hurry.
Is he gone?
I think so.
I think there's a payphone
a couple miles down.
I'll take you there.
Call the police.
No.
Family, maybe?
No.
No, thank you.
OK, if that's what you want.
Where to?
What?
Where do you want to go?
Just take me to a doctor.
Yeah?
There's an after-hours
clinic in town.
I'll take you there.
Thank you.
What's your deal anyway?
What do you mean?
I mean, who are you?
That's a good question.

The grandfather?
To who?
I've never had children.
Oh.
OK.
Well, I'll be downstairs
if you need me, so
just let me know.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS]
[HANNAH CRYING]
Hannah?
Is everything OK?
[MUSIC BOX PLAYS]
I'm coming in.
Hannah?
Hannah.
Hannah?
Hannah!
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
No!
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Oh, thank God.
I thought you'd gone.
I'm not where I thought I was.
Please excuse me.
Hannah?
Come back inside.
Before he sees you.
Please.
Oh!
Whoa.
You OK?
Go ahead and sit.
Or stand, whatever you like.
Let me take your coat.
Where did you go?
Hannah.
How'd you know my name?
It's me,
Douglas.
Could I use your telephone?
I don't... I don't have one.
You know that.
OK.
Could we leave the light out?
You were OK with it before.
I don't under...
Before?
Yeah.
I was cleaning up your...
What?
I... I really
I really must be going.
He'll see me.
He's coming!
It is you.
Do we know each other?
Abraham is not going
to find you here.
He can't hurt you anymore.
What?
The bruises.
On your wrist.
What bruises?
Wait a minute.
I saw them.
I want to show you something.
Do you recognize this person?
You don't remember me?
I've never seen you before.
You have.
When?
A long time ago,
When I was a young man,
Same age as I am right there.
I'm going to go.
Hannah.
I have the wrong house.
No.
Calm down, OK?
Just listen to me.
No, you really should...
Please let me go.
Give me the coat, OK?
Hold on.
OK, just listen to me.
You're hurting me!
OK.
Listen, please.
I just wanted to
use the telephone.
Hannah, you don't need one.
You're exactly where
you need to be.
I know how crazy this sounds.
But God works in
mysterious ways, right?
Hannah,
This is a miracle.
You are a miracle.
I am not going to
abandon you again.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hannah!
Hannah, just stop.
Listen!
Hello?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Hello?
Where are they?
Where are they?
They're the ones that
live here, not you.
I don't know these people.
They let me use the
telephone sometimes
this one, the one
you lied about.
I didn't lie to you.
I'm not lying.
Hannah, please,
you have to believe me.
You are not where
you think you are.
What?
You're not when
you think you are.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
No one has seen you for years,
Decades.
You're lying.
You just got to believe me.
Stay back.
Hannah?
Stop saying my name.
Hannah, just give me the phone.
Don't.
Give me the phone, Hannah.
Don't.
Hannah, just... just...
Stop!
Stay back.
Wait.
Stay away from me.
Hannah, you don't understand.
Please.
Just listen.
Please, leave me alone!
Wait.
Wait!
[TUMBLING]
[GASPING]
Oh, God.
Where is it?
Oh, oh.
[HANNAH CRYING]
It's going to be OK.
It's going to be OK.
It's going to be OK.
OK.
Stay calm.
Stay calm, OK?
Does that hurt?
I don't think it's broken.
Thank God.
What?
What?
What?
What?
Ice.
Ice?
Ice.
Ice.
Ice for the swelling, right.
[WATER RUNNING]
[GASPS]
What are you doing?
I wasn't lying to you before.
I've never seen that telephone.
I've never seen any of this.
What?
OK.
What are you doing?
Well, we don't have
everything we need
in my kit downstairs, so
we're going to
have to improvise.
There we go.
A little something
I learned on a
mission to South America.
OK.
Please, just let me go.
I won't say anything.
Where are you going to go?
Back to him?
Just let me help, please.
I know it hurts.
[HANNAH CRYING]
It's going to be OK.
One more moment.
40 years, not even a wrinkle.
You're going to have to tell me
your secret sometime.
He already knows I'm
here, doesn't he?
No.
You're keeping me
until he arrives.
I'm not going to let
that happen, Hannah.
I thought I couldn't
remember that face.
Please!
But I never forgot that look.
I've lived an entire lifetime
with the weight of that
decision that night.
It wasn't even
really a decision.
It's more like a
knee-jerk reaction,
which told every bone
in my body to just run.
No, please!
For years, I've just agonized
over what kind of horrible
fate I'd left you to.
I just hoped, in time,
maybe I could forget.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[HANNAH SCREAMING]
I don't know why God has decided
to give me a second chance,
But now that I have one,
I have no intention
of squandering it.
I'm thirsty.
What?
Water.
Glasses are downstairs.
Please.
Sure.
[GRUNTS]
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I'll just be a few minutes.
[WATER RUNNING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[SCREAMS]
[CRYING OUT]
Hannah!
Hannah!
Hannah!
[TWIG SNAPS]
Hannah, wait!
[CAR APPROACHING]
[BRAKES SCREECHING]
Hey, listen, you can't just
you OK?
Take me with you.
What?
Please.
Please.
He's coming.
Listen, miss, if
you need some help,
there's a clinic...
He's coming.
Who?
What is this?
What is this?
Please!
Douglas.
What did you say?
Take me with you.
You know my name?
Hurry.
Is he gone?
I think so.
I think there's a payphone
a couple miles down.
I'll take you there.
Call the police.
No.
Family, maybe?
No.
No, thank you.
OK, if that's what you want.
Where to?
What?
Where do you want to go?
Just take me to a doctor.
Yeah?
There's an after-hours
clinic in town.
I'll take you there.
Thank you.
What's your deal anyway?
What do you mean?
I mean, who are you?
That's a good question.
