I saw the whole movie right up until she said on the stand "I killed my baby." Someone please tell me what happened next. I missed a good chunk.
shareShe was in shock to be honest and it just shows her leaving the house and looking at the mother and some what hurrying to the car to leave and that was it .
Ellie questions Katie and elicits testimony that Katie believes she killed her baby by drinking unpasteurized milk.
The jury acquits her of homicide but finds her guilty of a misdemeanor: namely, contributing to the death of her baby by failing to obtain prenatal care. Katie is sentenced to three years' unsupervised probation to be served on the farm.
As Ellie is packing up to leave the farm, Sarah comes to her and hands her a bloody rag wrapped around the missing scissors. As Ellie recoils in horror, Sarah confesses that she knew Katie was pregnant and kept watch on her, following her out of the house when she went into labor, and delivering the baby.
Left ambiguous is whether or not the baby was born alive. Sarah says that after losing Hannah and Jacob, she couldn't bear to lose her only remaining child, that her husband would have disowned Katie had he known of her pregnancy.
When Coop comes to pick up Ellie, Sarah and Katie are in the yard, hanging wet laundry on the clothesline. Ellie stares at Sarah with such revulsion that even Katie notices, but they don't exchange any words.
