"Previously on "The Path"..." " What did Eddie want with you?" " Mom, please, look at me." " I need you to go." " How long?" " 15 years." " Our daughter..." " I want to see her." "I'm climbing the rungs with Richard and Felicia, and when I am ready, I am going to replace Cal." " You have to let me go." " I can't do that." " You have to." " I am not cut out for this, Richard!" "I don't want the responsibility of other people's lives!" "I can barely deal with my own!" "Cal offered us a house if I broke up with you?" " Why would Cal do that?" "Because he didn't want to lose you." "I willingly missed restitution." "I need to cleanse." "Can you find a way to get Mary to sit down with Wendy this afternoon?" "We can have a life somewhere else." " And if I don't want to go, will you go without me?" ""I relinquish my guilt for being with Cal." ""Everything else I've done that is horrible this year" "I'll hold on to."" " Forgive me." "*" "*" "I-I can't see you anymore." "Your father stopped believing." "You are not ascending anything, Hawk, because there is no ladder to ascend." "You need to learn to channel some of that anger into the world." "I was just like you as a kid." "I cannot lose you." "I told you, I can't do this anymore." "He doesn't want to talk to you." "If you say you floated, you floated." "Are you spending more time with Cal?" " He can help me." " Is that what he told you?" "He's nothing like you." "And you should see your father." "He loves you." "But I am still your father, Hawk." "I am still your father, Hawk." " Tell my dad I want to see him." " It seems our luck's changing." "They loved us at the World Faith Conference." "Our energy, our, uh... our message." " That's wonderful." "It's complicated, you know, because of my kids." "You know, Hawk seems to really be struggling again, and..." "I don't know how much more he can handle." " Sarah, I, um..." " You know, I understand..." "Completely." "But, um..." "I need you to know that..." "I'm in." "I'm all-in." "Hey, great work on that landscaping, Aaron." " Thanks, Cal." " I saw those new pamphlets, Luis." "They look good." " Good for you." " Hey." " Hi, Cal." "Eddie." "What..." " I know." "Aah!" "I know about you and Sarah." "All these years, pining for her, and you finally got what you wanted." " You really gonna do this, hmm?" "In my house?" " You're a Denier, Eddie." "I say the word, there'll be 20 kids in here to throw you on the street in a second." " You're pathetic." " We never meant to hurt you." " Are you fucking serious?" "Listen to me." "She may have settled for you, but she chose me... just like Steve." "You know, he said you were a disappointment." " How did you get that?" " It doesn't belong to you." " See, that's where... you're wrong." "I was with Steve when he died, and he told me that he put his faith in the wrong man." " You... you... you were not with him." " Oh, but I was." "And you think that I can't touch you?" "No, you can't touch me, asshole, because I am the one." "I say the word, and those 20 kids will throw you out... because I am the fucking chosen son, Cal." "*" "Is there a threat of danger if you try to leave?" " I don't know anyone who's tried." "Eddie Lane." " Eddie Lane didn't leave." "He was kicked out." "Sean's dad and I can..." "Want to take care of you." "We can buy you a house, put it in your names." "We want you both safe and this child to be born free of this movement." " You haven't asked what I want." " Babe, this is a second chance for us." "*" " I don't know about you being off with all those whoo-whoo hippies." "I miss you, man." "My heart chakra's all janky and shit." " Oh, please, man." " I might be back soon." " You got them on lock?" " Well, four of Sarah Lane's blackmail victims are being teed up to be deposed by Penetti." "There is no way a grand jury won't indict." " You're not out of the woods when you get to a grand jury." "No telling what they'll do." " Oh, no, we'll get there with something that sticks." "The press alone will torpedo The Movement." "Now, one way or another, Sarah Lane is going to jail." " Special Agent Gaines?" "They're the water results you asked for." "You mean the water results you were ordered not to run." "You went against orders." "Why?" " The way the top brass shut this down didn't sit right." "And my mom grew up in that town, died at 45... cancer." "I always wondered." "Now I know." "*" " I need you to get a message to Hawk for me." "Tell him it's time that we see each other." "I'll be waiting." "*" " Why aren't you coming?" " The others are on their way." " I'm sorry, but I just found out that Hawk's not doing well." "I'm on my way to see him now." "What's the meeting about, anyway?" " I wanted to tell you in person." " Well, what is it, Cal?" " Eddie was here." "He... he knows about us." " How?" " No... well, I don't..." " I don't know." "I don't know yet." "He was... he was out of his mind, Sarah." " Oh, my God." " Of course he was." "I'm sure he's so hurt..." "furious." " No, no, no, this was more, like, delusional..." "Shouting about how he was with Steve when he died." " He went to Peru... right before Steve became one with The Light." " Wait." "So he talked to Steve and... and... what, and you knew?" " No, no, no, all I know is that he went to Cusco." "That's all he told me." "What... what I want to know is how he found out about us." " I don't know yet." "Um, everyone who could make it is here, so..." "Um, we'll talk about this later." " Oh, my God." " You've reached Eddie." " Leave a message." " Eddie... please, I need to talk to you." "*" "Oh, my God." " Eddie Lane, many of you know well, breached our security this morning." "I called you all here to stress the importance of such an incident never being allowed to happen again." "Now..." "Um..." "You know, Carlos, explain to us how you allowed it to happen in the first place." " Look, I can't..." "He must've slithered in when I wasn't..." " I can't really..." " That is unacceptable!" "What good are our new protocols, new identification, perimeter checks if someone can easily walk in and... and compromise our safety, let alone a Denier who is dangerous, imbalanced, and... and desperate to hurt us?" "We must take accountability for our actions." "If we shirk our duties, if we disregard our policies, then we must hold ourselves accountable." "We have to look out for each other." "Right?" "Keep each other safe." "That is our responsibility." "That is our privilege..." "As those blessed by The Light, as those worthy of The Light." "All right." " I heard." "Are you all right?" "I know this isn't easy." " I haven't seen anyone for days." " By being alone with your thoughts, you're better able to focus, hone in on the root of your transgression and figure out how you can tear that root out." " What if it doesn't work?" " It takes time." "When you get out, return to your daily life, the effects of the meditation will take hold." " It didn't work for Dad." " I read your unburdening report." "I know that you were with Ashley." "Is there anything else?" "Have you seen your dad lately?" "*" "It's one more night." "And you are not your father, Hawk." "*" "The Light radiates in you." "*" " Kneel." "The key to mending is forgiveness and specificity... precision." "When someone says..." ""If I've ever done anything to hurt you, I'm sorry"..." "It's not a mending, but an equivocation." " Resentment... and vagueness... are what darkness and disease feed and flourish on." "You only need to open yourself as wide as the eye of a needle." "That is room enough for The Light to enter you..." "To forgive you..." "And mend your wounds." "Threading this needle without your eyes to guide you..." "Is easier than finding your way to real and lasting forgiveness of those who have harmed you." "You have done so much harm to yourself... more so than anyone else." "8R requires your rigorous honesty, your humility, your patience, your diligence." "*" " You've reached Eddie." " Leave a message." "Stay close to The Light, and The Light will provide you with everything you need." "Of your own volition, you can't overcome your fear when it conspires with your pride... or your mute darkness... or your willful denial." "These obstacles to forgiveness are harder to overcome." "But to overcome them is to know The Light's abiding love." "*" " You haven't wanted to talk much today." "May I make an observation?" "Something's eating at you." " I heard about Eddie." " What did you hear?" " That he stormed into the center in New York and threatened Cal." "Why did he do that?" " You know, these sessions are about you and your child." "How does that question pertain to your unborn child?" " Did the outside world make him crazy?" " Are you thinking about the outside world?" " Sean's parents want us to leave." "They've offered to buy us a house, set us up with a life." " I see." "Well, what do you want, Mary?" " You've blossomed into a beautiful woman, an example others look to." "It's true." "I know it's hard for you to look at yourself and see the power in you, but I see it, and you're radiant." "But the IS world still has all the things that you ran from." "So I want you to think hard about the world you'd be returning to." "And you have to make the decision here." "I can't make it for you, and neither can Sean or his parents." "You need to make the right decision for you and your baby." "Is there something else?" "*" "Something here?" "Someone?" "*" "The person, the man that you think might be the father of your child?" "*" " Sean needs to get away from him." " Who is that man?" " I can't tell you." " Can't or won't?" "*" "I can't help you if you don't talk to me, Mary." "That's why we're transparent." " Yeah, except all of you believe in it, but no one really practices it." "*" " Oh, hey." " Um, I was just..." "I left my shirt here, my favorite shirt." "Thanks." "I guess I'll see you around." " S-stay." "I want you to." " You don't owe me an explanation." " I was with my ex." " The girl we saw that night?" " Yeah." " It's fine." "I mean, it's not really fine." "You did take me home to meet your family." " That usually means something." " It does." "I get it." "We're bound to mess up once in a while." "I have a head case of a mom, and after seeing what your dad's like, it's a shocker we don't mess up more often." " You saw my dad?" " Yeah, he was here." "I thought you would've heard already." "He bum-rushed Cal in his office." " I..." "I don't know what to do." " Let them hash it out." " No, I-I just..." "In the program, I was thinking about him a lot, and... now he really wants to see me." "And it's just..." "Meditation's supposed to help you find clarity, and..." "I'm, uh..." "Just all messed up again." "Sorry." "Have you heard anything more about Eddie..." "How he might've found out?" " No, I haven't." "I'm sorry." " I've been calling him, and he keeps sending me to voice mail, so..." " I guess he doesn't want to talk to you." "Sorry." "Uh, I just, um..." "Talking to him isn't gonna help anything." "It's about us now and everything we're gonna build here... together." "That's a fact he has to work through in his own way." "Let him do that." " Mary told me during session today that she and Sean are thinking about leaving." " Huh." " I get the feeling that they're running from someone, but she won't say who." " We can't let someone intimidate her." " Well, as her guide," "I can't betray her confidence, but I am concerned." "If someone here is..." "Girls like her draw men in who re-create their original damage, men who were once victims before and have since become..." " Become what?" " If someone here is possibly exploiting her, uh, then it is our responsibility to root that out." " Hmm." " This has to be a safe place." " Absolutely." " I'll, uh, make arrangements for them to spend time at the retreat center." " In her condition?" " Severing the trauma bond between her and the abuser are the only way that she might feel comfortable revealing his identity." "She has to do this in order to heal." " I don't know who that is." " Hello?" " Hi." "This is Noa." " Oh, hey." " I don't know if this is..." "What the right thing to do here is, but I'm worried about Hawk." "His dad is trying to see him and..." " Uh, can you..." " Can you hold on a sec?" "This is something at the center." "*" "Hey, Noa." "Uh, you're saying..." "Hawk's father contacted him?" " I don't know." " I guess." "Seeing him at the center gave me such triggers with my mom that send me back to, like, infant state." "And I don't want to betray his confidence, but I also..." " No, you're doing the right thing." "Look, it's complicated right now between Hawk and his father." "*" " Oh, Jesus." "*" "*" "* Something's gonna kill us" "*" "* No, nothing's gonna save us" "*" "* After the blow" "*" "* It will never be so" " Where's Hawk?" "*" "Oh, what the fuck is this?" " Take it easy." " Jesus Christ." "Get the fuck off me!" " Deniers need to stay where they belong..." "In the shadows." "*" "S-Sean?" " Stay here." " Wait." "Wait." "Um..." "I told Sarah we were thinking of leaving." " What?" " Why would you do that?" " I-I don't..." " Shit." " I-I don't... don't know." " I'm sorry." " Calm down, calm down." "No one's gonna lay a finger on us, do you understand?" "Hi." "I know it's late." "I'm sorry." "Mind if I come in for a second?" "Mm." "Sarah told me you were thinking of leaving." "She's making arrangements for you to go on retreat." "Most of the time when people are thinking about leaving, they return from the retreat and stay with us." "I wanted to see if that's what you both want." "This..." "This is painful... to let go of someone you love." "It's excruciating, actually." "Um... you are loved here... the two of you." "I hope you know that... and feel that." "You deserve the best possible life... with your child." "And if there's anything I can do to make the transition as easy as possible, please don't..." "Don't hesitate to ask." " That's really, um..." "Thanks." "*" "I've been rude for long enough." "I'm sorry to have disturbed you." "Get some sleep." "*" " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm okay." " I think they're gonna let us go." "Don't be afraid." " I'm not." " Hey..." "I, uh..." "I came here looking for a new life, and I found it with you." " I found it with you." " Yeah." "*" "Are you gonna clue me in or treat me like I'm some bullshit?" " The brother of Penetti's chief of staff sits on the board of DeKaan's company." " Hmm?" " So?" " So they set me up." "They sent me back in there because The Movement was causing trouble for DeKaan..." "Penetti's biggest campaign donor." "The blackmail victims that I have lined up for Penetti are pieces of shit... but none of them are a DeKaan..." "Poisoning and killing entire towns for a buck." "They're playing me, man." " Are you kidding me?" " Really?" "Name me one person who isn't being played." " Come on, I'm supposed to be playing for the good guys." " Oh, come on, man, you're supposed to be playing for the team who's paying you." "Just get me a date." "Don't make me come out to bumblefuck again." " What happened to you?" "I was set up by Cal." " Cal wouldn't do that." " Uh, yes... yes, he would, and he did." "And I think that maybe... maybe my own kid had something to do with it." " Hawk?" "No." "He's... he wouldn't..." "Why did you come into the center in New York like that?" "You're asking for trouble." " Ask your daughter." " What is that supposed to mean?" " Just tell me!" " Is... is Hawk still in a program?" " He's back at the center." "This is get..." "I..." "It's too..." " I don't like this." " Look, I know, I know." "That's why I need you to do something..." " Eddie..." " For me." " Eddie..." " Look, I know that Gaby works in the office, okay?" "I-I just need the files for every disgruntled Meyerist who has ever left..." "Every person who's been labeled a Denier." " They're watching everybody right now." " Just find a way." " What does Richard say?" " It doesn't matter what Richard says." "I'm the one." "You saw it, right?" "How I bled." " I don't think I'm the man to do this." " Yes, you are." " No." " You went behind your wife's back for years so you could see your daughter..." " Mm-hmm." " Because you knew that it was right." " It is time to pick sides." " I don't want to pick sides." "You're asking me to betray my daughter." " No, I'm asking you to pick you, okay?" " What you believe in." " No." "I can't do it, Eddie." " Hank!" "What kind of man are you?" "* *" " Hey." " Hey." "Um... what are you doing here?" " Well, we've been dealing with so much lately," "I just wanted to come by and... and check that you're okay." " Um, why don't you stay for dinner?" "What is this about?" " Uh, honey, uh, one more." " Hey." " Hey." " Good to see everyone." " Yeah." " Especially good to see you." "How are you feeling?" "I know isolated meditation can be hard." " I'm fine." " I think we're ready to sit down." " Oh, no." " Oh, please." " I ran into that Novice after the security meeting." "You really gave him a scare." " Uh, Carlos?" " How do you mean?" " Well, Cal put the fear of God into him." " Well, sometimes people need to be reminded what's expected of them." " It seemed excessive." " Dad, why are you being so combative?" " You weren't there, Sarah." " What'd the guy do?" " Uh, he didn't do his job." " That's all." " Oh, I apologize if I seemed overly, uh, zealous." "I-I had just been attacked." " This is not the place." " Why did he attack you?" " We don't know, honey." " Really?" "Or do you just not want me to know?" "Cal?" " What are you guys talking about?" " No, I have no problem with you knowing." " Except this is not the time or the place." " Knowing what?" " It's adult stuff, sweetie." " Because of the two of you?" " You know, Hawk, we'll talk about this later, when it's appropriate." " What's "appropriate"?" " You can't treat me like an adult merely when it serves your own interests." " No, Sarah." " Sarah, what's happening here?" " Hawk, wait." "Hawk." " A lot's been going on." " Yeah, seems like it." " Yeah, look, um... your mother and I have grown close." "Now, we weren't trying to keep it a secret from you." " No?" " Just 'cause we're older, you know, doesn't mean we have stuff figured out." " Apparently." " And... and it's..." " It's gonna be hard." "As complicated as your relationship is with your dad, it's still hard to accept a new man in your life." "Look, um..." "I know you missed restitution to be with Ashley, and I'm sure she told you that I offered her family a place to live last year when they were homeless." " I didn't want to believe her." "Why'd you do it?" " For you." "I did it for you, Hawk." "If I hadn't, would you have chosen to stay and... and walk in The Light and help this commu..." "Help lead this community?" " So you thought you'd make that decision for me?" " Man-to-man?" " Yes." "Please." " She chose a house over you." "The girl chose a house... over your love." "*" "Testing people... it's the only way to know who they truly are." "And... you asked about me and your mom, and you deserve a straight answer." "I love your mom with every fiber of my being." "I pray she feels the same." "*" " Hawk." "Wow." "You look so different." "And you're, uh... you're driving." "When did you get your license?" " Dad..." " Look..." "I just..." "Did you get my message?" " Yeah." " So... did you?" " What?" " Do this to me?" " Did I..." "What?" " Did you tell someone that I wanted to see you and..." " That's impossible." " Think about it, Hawk." " Look, Dad, you got to stop." " You got to get out of here." "You got to get your life together." "I mean..." "Look at you." " Hawk, this is because of them." " I didn't do this." " You... you did." "You went in there ranting and raving, and this is what happens." " Okay, that was for a reason." " Yeah." "Cal and Mom." " Wait." "You know?" " He loves her, Dad." " We have to accept that." " Right, but what about her?" "What about your mom?" "Does she love him, too?" "Tell me." " You have to let her go, Dad, and you have to let me go." "You can't stalk me." "Don't send Ashley to me." " I didn't send her to you, okay?" "I bump into her, and she asked..." " She chose a house over me." "Okay?" "Just like Mom chose Cal over you." "*" "We have to accept these things." "*" " Jesus fucking Christ." " Sorry." "I've been trying..." " Are you all right?" " No, I'm not fucking all right." " What happened to you?" " Just go, Sarah." " Go before I..." " No, I..." "I want to make things right." " Things will never be right with us." " How did you find out about me and Cal?" " Is that why you're here?" "Trying to figure out who betrayed you?" " No, that's not..." " Not to explain yourself, not to apologize, not to..." " I don't owe you an apology." " Oh, that's right." "We don't owe each other anything anymore." " We moved on... both of us." " You promised me." "You laid in my bed, and you promised me!" "A lot has happened." " Oh, yeah, it seems so." "You know, you could relinquish your guilt for Cal, but why don't you tell me the rest of the horrible things you've done this past year?" "I am done trying to protect you!" "Take responsibility, Sarah, for the horrible shit you have done." "*" "Oh, fuck." " It's Richard." "Leave me a message, and I will return your call." "Thank you." " Richard, call me back." " Uh..." "Look, I messed up." "I told Sarah." "She might come to you." "*" " Mary, get in the car." " Mary." "*" " Sean, no." "*" " Drive." "*" "What are you hiding, Richard?" "*" " Oh, damn it." "*" "*" "Aah!" "Eddie, stop!" "It's me!" " Sam, what are you doing here?" "You went back?" " I moved on to the compound." " Ah, Jesus." "What, did Cal send you here?" "You know what?" "Tell that asshole I'm not backing down!" " Listen, you tell him yourself." "I am done talking out of two sides of my mouth, okay?" " Why'd you go back?" "Did your baby not make it?" "O..." "She did." "She healed overnight." "She didn't even need the operation, just like you prayed to The Light for." " Man, I didn't want to believe it." "Shit, I still don't want to believe it." "Why are you here?" " I'm just not clear on anything anymore." "But still, besides my wife and my kids... you praying for my baby the way that you did was the only moment of goodness that I've had in a hell of a long time." " Everything else has been a charade." "But I want to feel more moments like that again." "Eddie..." "*" "My name isn't Sam." "*" "*" "What are you doing to me?" " Painting flowers on your walls of doom." "Your necklace... where is it?" " Oh, I gave it to the worthy one." " I earned the necklace!" "I earned it!"
