"Previously on "The Path"..." "I relinquish my guilt for being with Cal." "Everything else I've done that is horrible this year..." "Uhh!" "She chose me!" "Just..." "like..." "Steve." " You're a Denier, Eddie." "Deniers need to stay where they belong." " Felicia... were you..." " Richard told me everything." "But I need to hear it from you." "I just need the files for every disgruntled Meyerist who has ever left." " The blackmail victims that I have lined up for Penetti are pieces of shit, but they sent me back in there because The Movement was causing trouble for DeKann," "Penetti's biggest campaign donor." "Eddie, my name isn't Sam." " Mary, get in the car." "How did you find out about me and Cal?" " Why don't you tell me the rest of the horrible things you've done this past year." "*" "This way... it's okay." "No." "It's the same fucking tree." "Fuck... shit!" "Help!" "Help me!" "Cal!" "Help!" "*" "Help!" "*" "Help!" "*" "I'm lost, man." "I'm in someone else's story, a pawn." "I don't know, I just..." "God, I just wanna get the reins back." " So Sarah blackmailed... the people who came to her for help." " Yeah." "And if I bring them in to testify, she's looking at four years, minimum sentence." " Why are you telling me all this?" " Because if you want me to handle this in a certain way, Eddie..." "I will." " Oh, my God." "You know what?" "No." "No." "This is not on you... to carry." "Okay?" "Sarah made her own choices." "And you need to as well." "You need to decide what to do next, not for... not for me, not for Sarah, but for you." "Listen, man, um..." " I need to get some rest." " Yeah." " As do you, so..." " Mm-hmm." " Hey, sleep the sleep of the just." "Be careful, Eddie." "Trust starts with truth and it ends with truth." "Why did you steal my Transgress?" "And why did you show it to Eddie?" "Why me?" " Did you steal others?" " Only yours." " Why, Richard?" "What are you and Felicia plotting?" " To see the rightful Guardian put in place." " The rightful Guardian being Eddie Lane?" " This is insane." " No!" "I'm the rightful Guardian." "Eddie was simply a means to an end, that's all." "I tried to motivate him to help me to use his anger by confirming his worst fear." " Eddie was just a pawn." " Wow." "I really, uh..." "I really thought we were friends." " You never much cared for my friendship when Steve was ill." " All you wanted was power." " No, Richard said the plan was for him to take our place." "That Eddie was... just a pawn." " Richard lied." " Felicia told us that you believe that Steve chose Eddie to lead The Movement." "Fine." "Yes." "That is what I believe The Light intends." " You're a fucking liar." " Who else is involved" " in this?" " Only me and Richard." " Hank Armstrong?" " Doesn't it bother you that he would ask me about your father?" " Answer the question." " No." "Hank was not privy to any of this." " I thought Bill was involved, though, right?" " Bill had nothing to do with this." "I did what I did to you because I felt I had to, but I'll go to my grave burdened." "Good." " Please, no." " You think you're not a Denier?" " Sarah, should..." " No!" "He abused his position and betrayed my trust." "My trust." "And you destabilized our community." "You have been selfish and petty and deceitful." "You have to go." " What have you done, Felicia?" " I'm so sorry, love." " You said you were in Peru." " I took no joy in deceiving you..." "I wanted to be sure before I told you." "Before I risked..." "I know how comfortable you are with our life, with what we have." "All I know is that when Richard called," "I knew what he was saying was true." " Oh, please..." "None of us knows what's true." " Yes." "Yes, we do." " Your hands..." "We had taken the medicine." "There was a campfire." "When I woke up, you and Silas and Steve told me the story." "But I didn't see any of it." " "The story"?" " Tell them that you acted out of spite, that you'll support their leadership." "It's over." "I want you home with me." "I, uh..." "I, uh, want to apologize and, uh, to be clear... she knows how badly she's fucked up." " Bill..." " She does." "I... want her to go home with me." "We support you." "She supports you." " We want this to be over, Felicia." "I know we've had our differences, but we'd like you to stand with us." " Richard is gone." " You made a mistake." "We all do." "Own it... atone." "Go back to San Diego." " I won't do any of those things." "I have nothing to atone for, especially not to you." "Only The Light can judge me." "*" " They know." " Cal, Sarah... they know." " Know?" "Know what?" " Richard, Felicia." " Fuck!" " Well, are they safe?" " I don't know." "All I know is that it's over." "This is the last time that we can talk." " They don't... they don't know you were helping us, right?" " Not yet." "Maybe they do." " They haven't come after me yet." "Listen, just lay low." "Disappear." "Or, plea..." "Just don't fan the flames." "*" "This is as far as we'll take Deniers, Richard." "Come on!" "What're ya doin'?" " I'm sorry, Sarah, for what I did." "I'll pray for your forgiveness." "*" "Felicia will stand with us again, eventually." "And Richard would have, too." " It doesn't matter." "What he did was unforgiveable." " Yeah." "But the community will miss him." "What will we tell them?" " The truth." "Do you think it's true?" "That Steve chose Eddie?" " It doesn't matter." "Steve was... as mortal as the rest of us." "More, even." "Steve's words... mean nothing." "*" " Apps and well drinks are half-off until 7:00." "The pils on draft's $2.00, shots, 3.00." " I'll take a pilsner." " Get the fuck outta here." " I'm not with them anymore either." "But I have been talking to a lot of people..." "like us who may have wanted to stay but were told that they had to go." "This says here that you were..." ""kicked out for being brazenly insubordinate."" "But everything written down about you, other than this, said that you were thoughtful, confident," " principled." " The principles certainly mean a lot less once you piss off the Golden Boy." "I dared to ask Steve if there was a better way to deal with the Novices." "I was one, Cal wasn't." "Steve thought that showed leadership qualities on my part." "He told me I should shoot up The Ladder." " So what happened?" " Cal didn't like that, I guess." "He cried to Daddy, told him I was always starting shit." "Week later, I'm out." "Back on a friend's couch." " Fuck it." " Fuck him." " Better put." "Yeah." "Fuck Cal." " Steve's dead." " Did you know that?" " No." "Shit." "I had this feeling when I was climbing." "It's like I was... full." "Only way I know how to describe it." "'Stead of half empty..." " Well, Cal is in charge now, and he shouldn't be." "I wanna do somethin' about that." " Cheers to that." "Our losing Steve continues to be felt, doesn't it?" "There have been growing pains." "We've all felt them." "And that's why we're so thankful to Bill for coming out to show his support." " We... can't let Richard's misstep, his, uh, inexplicable lapse in judgment, his betrayal... take away from all the progress that, uh, you are..." " you all are making here." " Mm-hmm." " Does Mary and Sean's disappearance have anything to do with Richard?" " Uh, we don't think so, um... it seems Sean's parents coerced them into leaving." " But why?" " Why would Richard do this?" " I've asked myself the same thing over and over, but asking only makes it more painful." "Who knows why people do the awful things that they do?" "All we can do is pray for him." " And, as Bill said, don't forget the amazing work we're doing here and at the city center, the work we tried to do in Clarksville." "It's always an uphill battle when you take on "big business,"" "but we took on a fight no one else was brave enough to." "And Hawk even got thrown in handcuffs." "I tell you, honestly, I..." "I couldn't be more proud of... of who we are, all of us, where we are." "We are out there..." "You." "You are out there serving The Light, building The Garden, right now, today!" "Yeah!" "*" " The Movement was everything to Richard, and vice versa." "He was Meyerism's favorite uncle, and hearing him described as this monster is..." " Shh." "You're gonna find yourself in a program." " Hi." " Hey, Bill." "Oh, it's too bad Felicia couldn't make it." " Well, she's been under the weather." " Oh, I'm sorry." " What is going on?" " It's crazy, scary, I..." " Sure is." " There's nothing to be scared of," "I can assure you." "We've had problems like this before." " I think the... severity of Richard's actions is felt." " Absolutely." " I need to get going." " Where?" " Uh, I haven't had any time in days, you know, to take care of anything, so..." "I have some things I need to catch up on." " Do you think there was anything that I didn't..." "Or we didn't address?" " No." "We handled it." "It's done." "*" "Cal, is that you?" " Yeah." " Oh." "Thought I heard someone." "Anything, uh... in particular you're looking for?" " Just, uh, clothes, I guess." "Seeing what they left behind." "It's always sad when you know you couldn't, uh, keep someone on the right path." " I'll pray for them." "It's weird." "Felicia wasn't there today." " Yeah, she's sick." " Yeah." "That's what they're sayin'." "I want you to know..." "I got your back." "I wanna help maintain law and order any way I can." " There's not many guys around here who possess your... integrity and loyalty." " We'll... we'll clean that out." "And things didn't have to end the way they did." "They didn't have to end at all." " They wanted me to say that my kid is an IS." " Well, I want to reform that part of the movement." "And I want you to help me." " I will." "*" " What the fuck are you doing?" "Why are you following me?" " I wanted to see if it was true." " See what?" " If you..." "If you thought it was true that you're the rightful Guardian." " Look, I don't know what I am, but I do know that I want things to be better, and I think they can be better." " So, what, are you collecting Deniers now?" "What are you doing with them?" " Look, they don't..." "We don't want to be Deniers, Sarah." " Well, you don't get to choose." " Maybe we should." " Who else is behind this?" " Steve." " Steve." "Well, he's not... everything that we thought he was." " No one is." " That's right." "And you're being vindictive and bitter." " Oh, don't tell me what I'm being." "Blackmail?" "With the unburdening tapes?" "Wow." "You know, your victims wanna testify against you." " How do you know about this?" " 'Cause I know everything, Sarah, and one way or another... you will be punished." "*" "*" " Uhh!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "*" "Drop-offs are in the back." "All right... bring it down."

"Swim, bike, run." "Go, dog, go." "Please... sit." " It's good to see you, Jeremiah." " Is there anything you wanna talk about, or..." " I just wanted to say hello." "And maybe... ask if you had a spare couch I could use." "Just for a few days." " You left The Movement?" " In a manner of speaking." "The couch would be just for a few days." " I haven't spoken to you for 20 years." " You're the only person I know outside." " I-I'm sorry, but no." "It wouldn't be fair to Daniel." " Of course." "I shouldn't have." "I understand."

"It is, um, even with... all the complications, um... um..." "Yeah, anyway..." "Call me back." "Uh, I love you." "Hey, Hank, what's up?" " Hi." "Has anyone, uh, come in named Sarah Lane?" " Any word?" " Hawk's checking hospitals." "Gaby's freaking out at home with Summer." " Okay." "I'm sure there's an explanation." " She always calls to say good night to Summer." " Well, until we know there's something wrong, let's not jump to conclusions." "Just keep calling the police stations." "Hawk... anything?" " She's... gonna be okay, right?" " Yeah." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Uh, my daughter Sarah Lane..." " She's... she's dropped off before when she's with..." "Just keep calling." " Sir, are you there?" " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " I'm here, um..."

"I-I was so relieved when we... we got the call." " Someone ran me off the road." " What?" "Are you sure?" " I..." "Eddie..." " Eddie ran you off the road?" " No." "No, Eddie..." "Eddie knows I used the tapes." "And he knows about the money." " Um... how does he know?" " I-I don't know." "He said others know too and that I'd be punished." " And did you... go to him?"

" She's with Grandma and Grandpa." "They didn't want her to know." "I know this, uh, must be difficult for you, Mrs. Lane, but I need to ask you if you can remember any details..." " Don't understand why the cop's here." " What?" " Um..." "Your mom says someone ran her off the road." " Who?" "What?" "Cal, you have to tell me." "You said you'd treat me like a peer." " I don't know." "Um... your mom told me that she... she had a fight with your dad before she was chased off the road," " and he... he threatened her..." " What did he say?" " No." "That she would be punished." "Hawk, we have no proof, all right?" " This..." "This is..." " No." "I-I know." " But..."

" Where'd you get these?" " Hawk, let me explain." " I packed your bags for you." "You're lucky you didn't kill her, because then I would have killed you..." "I'm not kidding." " Hey, hey, Hawk..." "I had nothing... to do with your mother's accident." " Oh, but you knew there was an accident." " Yeah." "The hospital called because I am her husband." " Only technically." " Hawk..." "I would never hurt her, and you know that, because you know me." " I don't know you at all." " Son... you are being used, manipulated..." "Hey... hey!" "*" " Let go of me, Eddie." "I think it would be better for everyone... if you were gone." " Hawk..." " If I'm reading this right, this is incredible." "This can't all be coincidence, right?"

"She's using them to blackmail people." "See, there's a fine line between a tool and a weapon." "Just cut your losses now, Richard." " No one will blame you." " We have to try." "We have to try to fix it." " Look, there's nothing to fix." " I sacrificed everything." "It has to be for something." " It should be." "I'm sorry, Richard." "I really am."
