Vater Unser
der Du bist im Himmel,
geheiligt werde dein Name.
Dein Reich komme.
Dein Wille geschehe,
wie im Himmel
als auch auf Erden.
Unser taglich Brot
gib uns heute.
Und vergib uns unsere Schuld,
wie auch wir vergeben unseren Schuldigern.
Und fuhre uns nicht in Versuchung,
sondern erluse
uns von dem Ubel.
Denn Dein ist das Reich
und die Kraft
und die Herrlichkeit
in Ewigkeit.
Amen.
My papa says we can go play after we finish this meal.
Would you like to go see the metal scarecrow?
Yes, let's go.
I want to come.
I helped find it! Besides I'll tell if you don't let me to come.
Are you scared?
That's enough, Samuel.
Let's go in.
Come on.
Papa said we can only play for half an hour.
Three years ago they came
forever altering the future of humanity.

- Hi! - Hi!
- Good morning! - Good morning!
I finally got around to putting things at home.
I brought in some of my favorites.
Here, look at these.
- Oh, I've seen these before! - Yeah.
You still find something to play them up?
Nah, if you look very hard.
You fish?
I used to.
With my father...
That was his?
Taught me how to fish with it.
I always wanted it.
He finally gave it to me on my eighteenth birthday
- with one condition. - What was that?
I had to promise to teach my child how to fish with it one day.
Look at these flies.
Incredible looking...
- Ah, did he tie them himself? - Yeah, he did.
Good morning.
Can we help you?
I sincerely hope so.
We shall be going soon.
It's a long ride into Lancaster.
I need to speak with the elders about the price for our goods.
The proprietors of the farmer's market have not been as agreeable as in the past.
Are you all right, Lucas? You've hardly said a word.
Taelon's arrival challenged the most basic belief systems of millions of people all over the world.
The resulting psychological disorders were classified under the umbrella term
Companion Reaction Syndrome,
known as CRS.
At its peak, symptoms range from mild depression and confusion
to mass suicide.
Do you believe the aberrant behavior in your community is the result of CRS?
Yes, I do.
How do you know about CRS?
I received my medical training in Harvard.
I was neuro resident at Mass General when the Companions arrived.
Tell us more about what you've seen.
The 200 years of my community, there's never been a reported suicide.
The last two weeks, there've been three.
- You said they appeared to be all individual acts. - Yes.
But with CRS, generally, we see this kind of self-destructive behavior occur in groups.
It's rare to find it in individuals.
Well, there have been some unusual circumstances.
I have documentation.
I have noted your data request for information on CRS.
What is your purpose?
There's suspected reoccurrence of the syndrome.
I needed the most current data.
This is Dr. Elijah Good from Paradise, Pennsylvania,
the site of the appearing outbreak.
We grief for all
who may have misinterpreted our purposes on your planet
and reacted in self-destructive way.
I held hope that we had seen the last of such incidents.
So did I.
Many of the problems of the world bypass Dr. Good's Amish community,
but we're afraid that CRS might be the exception.
With your permission, I'd like to personally investigate it.
Be assured, my friend,
William Boone will assist you.
That is all I can ask.
I give you my word, Elijah, we'll be there first thing tomorrow morning.
I have studied these people.
They honor their values despite the demands for change around them.
And their nonviolence...
is unique among most of your civilized cultures.
And they're not interested in imposing their believes on any others.
You go as a representative of the Companions.
Perhaps, the only one they are ever likely to see.
It is important
that you relieve their hardship.
I understand.
Your Paradise sits in the Lakes region.
You might want to bring you fishing rod. You never know what's biting this time of year.
Papa, will you sing my prayers with me tonight?
That'll be the best part of my whole day.
How is my strong hardworking son?
Great, papa.
After my toil I caught four fish.
I gave them to Rebecca Strauss.
She's sad about Mr. Strauss.
Please, look after your sister.
I'll be up to sing your prayers with you in a moment.
You took the automobile today.
I went to ask for help.
Does bishop Hagan know?
We do not have the equipment here to properly examine the bodies of our dead.
Amos believes that to take the bodies into Lancaster to perform an autopsy
is to desecrate them.
What do you believe?
I believe
that if I do nothing - more will die.
Desecrating the dead is the violation of the Ordnung.
Amos and the elders will be forced to act.
I know.
Amos said he will impose the Meidung if I violate our laws.
We must find what is wrong or surely more of our people will die.
You must look into your heart.
You will find the answer there.
It took a lot of courage for Elijah to ask us for help.
Yeah, I wander how the rest of Paradise will feel about cavalry, you know.
Well, isolation isn't an option for these people anymore.
Taelons made sure of that.
Well, they're about to get their first taste of the new world.
Look at that! You got a nice set out there! You rigged for trout?
Ah...
- Yeah, I caught four yesterday. - Really?
They fed the whole Strauss family.
Congratulations! Maybe sometime you'd show me your spot.
If my papa would let me...
Ah, is he a good fisherman?
He is too busy...
I thought you were going fishing.
I am.
Goodbye, mama.
Goodbye.
Take care. I hope they're biting for ya!
Lili Marquette.
Sarah Good.
Oh! William Boone. We're here to see your husband.
Yes, I know.
It's good to see you too.
Welcome!
Sarah...
Would you mind if I take our guests for a walk?
This is so beautiful.
They're not used to see the English here.
English?
That's anyone who's not Amish.
It's just doesn't feel like a community in the stress.
People are not given to show their emotions in public.
And believe me,
my community is frightened.
There was another death while I was away.
Self-immolation.
Unbelievable.
That kind of trauma that you're seeing is often a result of dramatic happenings.
Is the community undergoing any other change?
No.
Your report showed...
contusions that appeared on all the victims.
Have you identified the origin of those?
I've not identified the trauma that would've caused that type of wound.
We're gonna need some hard evidence that points to CRS.
Will they let you work with the English?
If it saves lives,
I must.
I think it's time we tell them about the scarecrow.
I mean, what if it's...
What if it's something important?
It doesn't even doing anything. How important can it be?
Have you heard anybody ask about it?
What if the elders find out we were lying to them? We will be punished!
We weren't lying! Nobody asked us about the metal scarecrow.
Papa taught us better than that, Rachel.
But can we just keep it one more day?
All right.
But than I'm telling my papa.
Time to go.
Looks like a bullet wound.
It's too precise...
It's more like a...
More like a drill puncture.
We should run multiple bleak MRI scans on the bodies.
Multiple bleaks?
Look around, William!
I don't even have a body scanner here!
You bring the English into our community.
You betrayed the Gelassenheit!
I would never question the authority of God.
Your actions speak differently.
It's Abraham!
Come on! I need your help!
God help us!
Abraham!
Abraham!!
Did you see?
Is he inside?
Oh, God!
God, help us!
Give me my bag.
Elijah.
He's gone...
Boone.
He barricaded himself in!
Do you admit
that you want to desecrate the bodies
of Isaiah Strauss,
Lucas Graf,
and Abraham Yoder?
The only way to determine the cause of these deaths is to perform an autopsy.
There is no other choice.
Did you bring the English here?
I sense that William Boone is a man of integrity.
He agreed to help us.
From what we all just saw with Abraham, we need that help.
You did not consult the elders!
I knew the elders would forbid him to come!
Without the help of the English...
more of our people will die.
This isn't a trial, it's the public hanging.
Elijah Good,
by your actions
you have violated the Ordnung.
Don't do this, Amos.
I have no choice.
You are the bishop!
Of course you have a choice!
I impose the maximum penalty on you.
I sanction you...
with the Meidung.
At least you have your family.
Even my family must abide by the Meidung.
Right now you are the only two people in Paradise who can talk to me.
You should be praised for what you're doing, not punished.
Our laws are sacred.
I honor them.
They won't allow you to move the bodies to a hospital where you can perform the autopsies, right?
Yes.
If you had the equipment here, would you run the tests?
Yes, I would.
What do you need?
What exactly are we looking for?
Something out of the ordinary.
And healthy body scan will appear all black, no color variations.
Hopefully, we'll be able to detect some irregularities.
I'd say that qualifies as an irregularity.
Looks like it's tracking through body...
Starting at the contusion site.
Exiting where?
The mouth.
Be very quiet.
I got it. I got it!
Let me see!
Only God could create a creature that perfect.
Do you do a lot of fishing?
Not for a while.
Fishing was something that I did with my dad.
When he died I... I kinda stopped.
I wish I could go fishing with my papa.
But we've never been together.
Well, he is a busy man; he helps a lot of people.
I know, but...
But just once I wish I could show him what a good fisherman I am.
You will.
Noah, come back here!
All right, boy...
You sleep under the stars tonight.
I wish I could join you.
What have I done to this family!
You've made us stronger.
- You've made me so proud of you. - Sarah, you must not speak...
No one will tell me how to behave with my husband in our bedroom.
I love you, Elijah Good.
Eww... Yuk!
Come on, Rachel, you've got chores.
Let's get my things.
William is expecting me at the clinic.
Sarah!
How did this happen?
I don't know.
She just drank the cleaner.
Jebediah, Rachel, we need your help.
Is there anything... I don't know... different about your town lately?
- Even if it doesn't seem important. - Yeah.
Anything?
Tell them, Jebediah.
This has nothing to do with my mama.
But we did find a metal scarecrow...
In the forest... And we didn't tell the elders.
A metal scarecrow?
Yes, sir. We hitched it to one of the horses and dragged it back to the old barn.
Is it still there?
- Yes, sir. - Where is it?
At the back edge of the south-east field.
Thanks.
Lili.
Noah!
Where are you, boy?
Noah!
Where are you?
Come here, boy.
Noah...
Was ist das?..
Boone!
Son of a...
Be careful, careful.
Its wings are like razor blades.
Feel how heavy this is.
You're right.
Pass me your eye scanner.
What in the world...
Look at this!
Take a look at this!
It's a machine.
With razor-like teeth and wings.
And the circumference of the torso is about the same size as the entry wound in our victims.
Ok, the first victim jumped in front of a train, died of impact...
and there was fire, and freezing, and ingestion of poison...
A body being pushed to extremes...
as if the physical limits are being tested.
These came from whatever the children found here.
The gathering information on human body.
When we find it, if we find it, Doors can set up a team to study it.
Can you get through to Doors on a secure channel on your Global Link?
No. I can try in the shuttle, though it's risky.
If it means getting our first piece of Taelon hardware, I think it worth the risk.
Absolutely.
All right. Tell Doors to get team up here. Tell him to lay low and wait for our signal.
I'm gonna go check on Sarah, see how she's doing.
She is stabilized.
She's got to bring herself back now.
She's got a lot to come back for.
I was trying to protect my community and my family.
Looks like I've failed on both counts.
No, Elijah.
There's a whole world out there now.
A whole Universe.
And it didn't wait to be invited in.
It just came.
There was a threat, you responded to it.
But at what cost?
Excuse me.
What's the status of your investigation, Boone?
We've run several tests on the victims.
Nothing unusual has surfaced.
Detail the tests you've run.
Autopsies on the victims
and psychological examinations of several citizens of Paradise.
It appears increasingly likely that the CRS is the cause.
How regrettable.
Thankfully they have you to guide them through this distress.
When do you estimate completion of your investigation?
Shortly.
You did not tell Da'an about the MRI findings.
Why?
This place will be crawling with people if the Companions feel the need to further investigate.
Could you not make them aware of our special circumstances?
Elijah,
you have your elders to deal with...
I have mine.
I have 14 seconds secured.
We need a retrieval team. One object. Weight unknown. Location transmit now.
Complete. Have the team ready to go at our signal.
- Boone! - Yeah, go.
- Transmission was successful. - Good.
Listen, I think that... What's wrong?
Lili, what's wrong?
Lili!
Boone, I've got a dozen of butterflies on my shield.
Make that two dozen.
Do not leave the shuttle! I'll be there in ten minutes!
Lili?
What's going on out there?
The shuttle's totally covered with butterflies.
I'm gonna try a skrill blast. Hang on!
What happened?
It takes too strong a blast to be effective.
Anything more powerful will vaporize the shuttle.
This swarm's causing intense pressure on the hull. I estimate implosion in 90 seconds.
Organic matter...
What?
Organic matter. The butterflies are only attacking people, living organisms.
This shuttle's not alive!
They must be reading the shuttle's energy field as a life form.
Boone, I've got 30 seconds here!
I want you to cut off power immediately and stay perfectly still.
I'll be defenseless!
Do it!
Cutting power.
Lili.
I'll see you in a few minutes.
Oh, my God...
Stay inside!
Way to follow orders!
Yeah, yeah. I'm really good at that.
The energy is coming out of the top.
Aim for there.
It's beginning to feel like revenge for every bug I've ever crushed as a kid.
If you got any ideal, now would be the time to share them.
Boone, look.
When I say go...
Run like hell.
Go!!
Welcome to Paradise, ha?
Our people just confirmed pick-up of the mother drone or whatever it is.
Doors is extremely excited.
And Paradise is paradise again.
This is the most deadly Taelon experiment we've seen yet.
When the hell this could happen without Da'an knowing about it?
Unless he did know about it.
Time for Doors to deliver some answers.
And despite the technical violations of the Ordnung,
the elders believe that you have acted in good faith
for the betterment of our community.
Therefore, it is our decision
that the Meidung is lifted.
- Congratulations! - Hey!
Congratulations!
Yes. Congratulations!
And good luck, Elijah.
You are always welcome here.
You're family now.
Thank you.
Jebediah!
There's something that I want you to have.
This was my father's.
You should save it for your own son, William.
Well...
Maybe Jebediah can take care of it for me until than.
Thank you.
Comes with one condition.
You have to teach your father how to fish with it.
That would be my honor, son.
