Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Samuel witnesses a man being killed.

Samuel first sees the victim, an undercover detective, rinsing his face at the sink in the bathroom. The man smiles at him, and then two bad men come into the bathroom and slit his throat in front of Samuel, while Samuel is hiding in a bathroom stall.

2. What actor plays Detective McFee, who takes part in killing the man in the bathroom?

Answer: Danny Glover

Danny Glover has played a wide range of interesting parts, including in the "Lethal Weapon" movies, where he plays a good detective, teaming up with his pal, Mel Gibson. However, as McFee, he is a highly decorated veteran detective, turned corrupt. He makes a drug bust on a PCP shipment, and gets an award for his bust.

The PCP was taken to a warehouse for storage, and the drugs were then stolen. The undercover cop that McFee kills was on McFee's trail as the one behind the theft of the PCP. McFee turned around and sold the PCP on the black market for a huge profit. McFee has no problem killing the undercover cop.

Answer: True

Samuel is terrified, and is extremely lucky to avoid being seen by Danny Glover. Although Samuel is Amish and not worldly, his instincts of self-preservation are keen. The suspense is thick in this scene.

Answer: "There were two men. I only saw one."

When ask to describe Danny Glover's character, he points to Carter and says "Stupig". Rachel explains that on a farm when a pig is small it is called stupig. Book says, "So he's a big guy, like me." Samuel grins and responds, "Big guy!"

5. Book takes Rachel and Samuel to his sister Elaine's house for the night. Who plays Elaine?

Answer: Patty Lupone

Patty Lupone, who plays Elaine, is best known as a Broadway star. She is amazing in this movie, as Elaine, Book's sister. Her part is small but intense, as later in the movie she is questioned by Schaffer and McFee, who come looking for her brother. She knows, without a doubt, that he would not do anything wrong.

Answer: He looks at Book and points at the picture.

This is a big moment in the movie, when Samuel identifies McFee's photo in the trophy case. Ironically, he was being awarded for a big arrest in the photo. Book quickly bends Samuel's pointer finger down, and the music is very intense. Book knows that this murder was an inside job, and that the situation has changed completely.

Answer: "Vacation, Florida."

Schaffer is in on it with McFee and knows that he has to cover his tracks quickly, because Book is an honest, good detective. Schaffer is so corrupt, that he isn't about to admit to Book that he is guilty of anything.

8. Book leaves his office and is in a parking garage. Someone starts shooting at him. What happens next?

Answer: McFee shoots Book, and he is badly wounded.

Book knows that he has to take matters into his own hands and must protect Samuel and Rachel by getting them back to the Lapp Farm in Lancaster County, PA. He knows that there will be no trial, and that he will die if necessary to protect them.

Answer: To let him borrow her car, and put his car in the garage.

Book is literally bleeding to death when he gets to Elaine's house. He is barely able to stay awake, and drive to Lancaster County to the Lapp farm.

Answer: "I want all the paperwork to disappear."

Carter cannot believe that Book wants the paperwork to disappear. Book is not telling him anything else in order to protect him. Book is having Carter destroy the paperwork so that Rachel and Samuel's information cannot be found. Book knows that McFee and Schaffer will try and come after them, and kill them if necessary.
