The Path (2016–2018): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

Previously on "The Path"...

Where you headed this late?

Couldn't sleep.
Thought I'd take a drive.

Cal is reckless, and he will
bring the movement down.

No one has seen him since last night.

Silas...

It does resemble one of his.

What is it doing here?

Marriage is a cornerstone
of The Movement.

If you forgive me, I want that.

What did you do to get Ashley
to break up with Hawk?



You had him do it?

Your Light is not going
to help my kid get better.

Forget The Light.

Just do not give up on your kid.

Your husband left a journal.

Why wasn't it given to the police?

I think you'll
understand when you read it.

Can I help you?

You know, everyone
says that they have

these big moments on the walk.

They see Truth.

The truth is, I didn't.

Program won't work for him. He's gone.

Steve finished the rungs.



He wants you to help
shape the next phase

of The Movement with me.

I believe in the work that we do,

but the rest is just
fucking fairy tales.

You're talking about everything...

everything in my soul.

You don't actually believe that.

You don't know me.

What's gonna happen?

I don't know.

But I promise you, as soon as I do,

you are the first person I tell.

What are you thinking about back there?

Did you have Christmas
when you were a kid?

Sort of.

Why?

A girl in my class has
an invisible ink pen.

Hmm.

It has a special light.

You can only see the
writing when you shine it.

Is that what you would
ask Santa for Christmas?

WOMAN: ♪ Noel, Noel ♪

♪ Born is the king ♪

When you've taken your vows,

and you turn your back on The Light,

you are a Denier.

I'm not a Denier.

Did you not take vows, Eddie?

I reject your labels.

I am not signing this form.

I know what happens when
you're labeled a Denier.

You can't see your kids.

I am seeing the kids, Sarah.

Do not ask me to sign this.

It's not up to Sarah, Eddie.

- There are explicit instructions.
- Sarah...

We'll handle this ourselves, Richard.

Clarity requires forms to be signed.

If we disregard the
system, things will only

be more complicated later.

The last time I checked,
you're 7R, Richard.

I'm 8R.

I think that I'm the authority here.

What's going on?

My husband killed himself.

I know.

She gave me his journal... Sarah.

It was full of madness.

He was seeing things...

The Ladder.

He was determined to climb it.

There are pages and pages
of crazy writings.

"I tried to climb the ladder,
but every time I tried,

"I kept burning my hands.

"My hands are bloody and raw.

Next time..."

That was his last journal entry.

"Next time I will climb The Ladder,

even if it kills me."

I wanted to die, too, when I read it.

I tried to kill myself...

But I couldn't go through with it.

I've lost everything.

This was my home.

I know you don't take people back.

So come on, you got to tell me.

Is Steve really coming?

Everyone is so pumped.

It's gonna be the biggest day
in the history of The Movement,

last three rungs.

You know, I can throw a filter
on this thing if you guys want,

make it a little warmer.

Definitely want it warmer.

We're gonna be doing a live
feed to Minnesota, San Diego.

All right, well, I'll use
an amber filter, then.

That's what we did for General Petraeus

when he spoke at Town
Hall Veterans' Day.

You kind of got his colors.

General Petraeus colors, okay.

Just gonna be you up there?

Anybody else I need to worry about?

Holy shit.

Isn't the view incredible?

Is that the Atlantic Ocean?

Hudson River.

It's beautiful.

You should see the mountains in the fall

when the leaves are a million colors.

It's cold.

Probably not so good for your dad

to be out here too long.

He hasn't been feeling well.

I'm sorry, we just always
imagined a church wedding.

- I don't believe in Jesus.
- Oh, don't say that.

What has Jesus ever done for our family?

So do you guys get to choose each other,

or do they put you together
like those Moon People?

Why'd you guys even come?

You've already lost one daughter.

I love this woman.

And if you want me in your life,

you will love her too.

When's the last
time you saw Silas?

I haven't seen him in months.

I've been calling him and calling him,

and even when he disappears,
he usually calls me back.

I have a bad feeling.

And I've been seeing a snow
owl every morning on my walk.

I, uh... I spoke to him on the phone

after Cal took in the Hondurans.

He was upset.

He thought we had lost
sight of The Movement.

That's why we flew out there.

Do you think Silas came too?

I mean, how else did the
Pachamama get on my desk?

Maybe. Cal did
disappear that night.

- What are you saying, Felicia?
- Nothing.

Yes, you were.

I mean, that's a pretty big accusation.

This is Cal we're talking about.

I should go.

I was wondering if
you'd thought any more

about Steve's wishes

that you run this next phase
of The Movement with me.

It's kind of hard for me to think about

taking on more work.

Are you okay?

I just... I want you to
know I'm thinking of you.

Please...

Look, I know that, um,
we've had our clashes

since I came back.

That's only because you...
you get me so, um...

It felt amazing to be close
to you the other night.

But I think it's important to keep

our relationship professional.

- Yeah, for now.
- Always.

- Well, you came to me.
- I know.

So that was just about
getting your son back?

No.

I am sorry.

Well, um...

I do hope you'll heed Steve's wishes.

You should be standing on
that stage with me on Friday.

Where were you the night
that we took the vote

on what to do with the Hondurans?

Uh...

You know where I was.

Tell me.

Um...

I, uh...

The day had gotten me very stressed...

And I relapsed.

I had a drink to, um,
take the edge off,

and, uh...

next thing I knew, it was next day,

and I was lying in a
puddle of my own vomit.

You know, I'm not proud of it.

Why are you asking?

Daddy's gonna be living
somewhere else from now on.

Is he gonna bring The Light
to the other people?

No, honey.

I'm gonna live without The Light.

But what is he if he has no Light?

He's still our dad.

That's right.

And I love you guys more than anything.

And whether or not I believe in
The Light won't change that.

But are you gonna be
in The Garden with us?

I don't know.

It's okay, honey.

You're still gonna see Daddy.

But not in the future.

Hey, nobody knows what's
gonna happen in the future.

What matters is right now.

Hey, Summer, it's okay.

I'll be there.

That's right.

Hawk will be there, and
Daddy's gonna stay

in a hotel in town
until he gets settled,

and then you'll see him every Sunday.

Come here.

I love you so much.

Okay?

It's gonna be okay.

Happy birthday, kid.

Come on, Summer.

I love you guys.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What the fuck?

Oh, shit.

Hello?

Hey, man, it's Sam, Sam Field.

Hey, um, Sam.

Listen, I-I-I just
wanted to call and apologize

for the other day, you
know, being an asshole

on the phone like that. I just...

You've been good to me.

No, uh...

you're going through a
lot right now, Sam.

Just checked my
daughter into the hospital.

She's on a shit-load
of drugs right now.

She on the last-ditch
attempt to close the valve

before her open-heart surgery tomorrow.

Listen, anyway, you know, I just
wanted to bury the hatchet.

No, it's, um... no hatchet to bury.

You, uh... you hang
in there, all right?

Yeah, thanks.

Hungry?

I just have a feeling that
Steve will come back.

The last three rungs are
what we've been waiting for.

What are the last three rungs?

The entire map for our
spiritual development.

Who's that?

Alison Kemp.

Her husband, Jason, trained me.

Some of you may know of Alison Kemp.

She is a Denier, and, yes,

she waged a libelous war
against us on the Internet.

But she has come back to us.

And I know it is written in The Ladder

that he who turns his back on
the Truth shall forever...

walk in the world of shadows.

But with the last three rungs...

comes change.

And this, uh... this unforgiving
tenet has been revisited.

And now Steve asks us
to remember the words

of another prophet of The
Light, the one who said,

"Let he who is without sin

cast the first stone."

The Light has always asked us

to be a Movement of love.

And forgiveness is the
ultimate act of love.

I saw that you were
on your post November 29th.

Was I?

It was the day we voted whether

to turn over the Hondurans.

Oh, yeah, sure, uh...

Did you by any chance see Silas?

No, definitely not.

What about Cal?

Did you see him?

I don't remember.

I'm just trying to
account for everybody's

whereabouts that day, all the
upper rungs for the log,

and Cal wasn't there
that day for the vote.

What is it, Isiah?

I did see him that night.

Go on.

He was drunk and falling,

and I, uh... I helped him to his cab

and then helped him get into bed.

I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone.

I won't tell a soul.

May I come in?

I was wondering if we could talk.

Okay.

Losing Sheila was unbearable.

Then Sean joining this.

But I was moved by your
leader, whoever he is,

- the man in the cafeteria.
- Cal.

Reminding me to not only forgive,

but that we all need
to find our own ways

to deal with tragedy and grief.

And I'm so glad Sean found you.

Anyway, this was mine.

I don't know if you
like it, or if you even

wear a veil when you get married here,

but Sheila always used to
love dressing up in it

when she was a little girl, and...

I had planned to give it to her.

Do what you like with it.

Thank you, Mrs. Egan.

Oh, call me Karen, please.

Okay.

Hey, Sam.

Eddie.

Hey, how did you find me, man?

Well, you said your, uh...

your baby was having heart surgery

at St. Michael's, so
I thought I would...

Hi, you must be Susan.

Yes, I am, Susan.

And you must be the guy
at that Meyer place

- my husband's been talking to.
- Yeah.

How's Lucy doing, Mrs. Gaines?

Oh, she's fine.

She's getting a little sleepy.

It's my maiden name.

Hey, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

Hey, you know, thanks for coming.

It's really good of you.

It's just not a good time.

Oh, hey, no worries.

I just wanted to come and
wish you both well in person

and let you know that I
am leaving The Movement.

- You're leaving?
- Yeah.

You know, just in case
you were still looking

for someone to talk to over there.

Why? Is your whole family leaving?

Uh, no.

Just... just me.

I've been...

struggling with my faith

for a while now.

I'm sorry, I should
have told you sooner.

No.

Well, thanks, man.

Hey.

Light, who gives and takes life,

watch over this baby, Lucy Field,

this innocent soul.

Use your warmth to heal her heart

so that she doesn't have to
have this operation tomorrow.

We look to you for strength,
guidance, and hope.

I thought you didn't believe.

Can't hurt.

Happy birthday.

Are you leaving school?

You're taking your vows?

Hawk...

♪ O come, all ye faithful ♪

♪ Joyful and triumphant ♪

♪ O come ye, O come ye ♪

Hey.

Watch where you're going.

Sorry.

Watch where you're going.

- Yeah.
- No.

But you've got it?

Yeah, I think it would probably be...

back there, maybe.

- Okay.
- Diagonally, straight back.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Can I help you?

Sir?

Do you need help?

So then Sarah asked me if
I'd seen you that night.

She did.

And I told her exactly
what you said to say.

Thanks, Isiah.

I mean, you're doing The
Movement a great service.

Someday I'll be able to tell you
why I had to leave that night,

but I can't now.

Hey, you don't have to
explain anything to me.

All right, well, you'll
be rewarded for this

in the next phase of The Movement.

It's me.

What do you want, Eddie?

I, um...

I think something's wrong with me.

I'm aware.

No, I think something is...

Really wrong with me.

Ever since I left, I
have been seeing things.

Seeing things?

Yeah, it's like I am on the medicine,

but I am stone cold sober.

What kind of things?

Um...

Snakes.

- Snakes?
- Yeah.

A dead bird.

The hallways at the
retreat center in Cuzco.

I saw the door where I saw Doc was dying

- when I was on the medicine.
- You saw Doc dying.

What about The Ladder?

Do you see The Ladder?

No.

Do you think that I... am going crazy?

I mean, is this a psychotic break?

I think you're having visions, Eddie.

You have to find out what they mean.

How am I supposed to
find out what they mean?

The Light is trying to
communicate with you.

Richard, get out.

Eddie...

Get out of the fucking car.

I knew you would make
this about The Light.

I am losing my fucking mind here.

They won't go away until you
find what they're asking of you.

Get out!

And if you don't find out...

They'll destroy you.

Everything okay?

I'm not a good person.

Where's this coming from?

I'm like you.

People hurt us, and we got broken.

We can't be fixed.

I don't believe that's true.

Sean's mother gave this to me.

For his bride, that's
who it should be for.

You are his bride.

I'm someone who will try
to be good to him...

And love him.

But I'll always want
something dark near me...

inside me.

That's why it's so good
you're marrying him.

We need to surround
ourselves with forces

that will bring out the goodness

that we are capable of.

But I still want you.

I want to be held by
someone who knows me,

really knows me.

All my corners.

Where is, uh... where's Summer?

She's at my parents'.

I had to work late.

Should be dropping her off any moment.

All right, well, I, uh, have something

that I want to give to her.

My family's coming for dinner, Eddie.

Why don't you just give me
what you have for Summer,

and I'll give it to her.

I want to give it to her.

It'll only upset her
to see you right now.

She's my fucking kid, Sarah.

Just go home and get some sleep.

You see, that's the problem here.

I don't have a fucking
home anymore, okay?

This was my home.

You were my home.

My family's here.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Daddy!

Hey.

All right, you guys
go on inside. Come on.

Hey, I got you something.

Time to go, Eddie.

Come on, Eddie.

Hey, what did your daddy give you?

Let's go inside and play, okay?

Come on.

Go hang with the kids
until you feel up for us.

You did the right thing, sweetie.

It'll be better soon

and you will feel good about this.

- Really?
- Yes.

- It's gonna feel good?
- Yes.

Does it feel good that
you haven't seen Tess

for 15 years, huh?

Is it good that my kids
are gonna grow up...

Without a father?

Really?

And what about me?

You know, I loved him.

I love him.

So fuck you, it's gonna feel good.

Fuck all of you.

Oh, God.

Hey, is everything okay?

Yes, I have news.

Well, how do you have news?

She just went into surgery.

We ran some tests this morning.

Why?

It's procedure before an operation.

And we found that the
PDA had cleared itself.

Do you understand? The
vessel closed on its own.

Wait a minute, are you saying

that she doesn't need the surgery?

Yes, that is what I'm saying.

We had her on prostaglandin
inhibitors...

indomethacin, intravenous ibuprofen.

Maybe it was just the dose she
needed to close the vessel.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Of course.

We'll get Lucy back up to her room.

You can check her out.

Happy holidays.

It's gonna be okay.

- Hey.
- Can I come in?

Well, I'm just... I'm just
working on something.

It's kind of private.

I just, um...

I came to say yes.

Yes?

I want to stand beside you on Friday.

I want to take The Movement
to the next generation...

with you.

Um...

I'm so glad, Sarah.

Together we're gonna
make this thing grow.

Uh, I'll find you later,

and we'll discuss everything.

Today we have much to celebrate.

December 29th will forever
be marked as the day

our book was finished, and the day

our lives truly began.

What could be more symbolic of new life

than the three services
that Sarah and I

will perform today?

Recommitment of a Denier,

a wedding,

and the taking of vows.

Please forgive this Denier.

Forgive her wanderings.

And allow The Light back into her soul.

Let the bonding of these
hands be a symbol

of the bond that you
have to each other.

Do you accept The
Light into your heart?

I do.

Do you vow never to turn
your back on the message

no matter what darkness may
creep into your heart?

I do.

Wear this as a reminder

that there is one all-seeing
force that sees everything

that we do, that all
of our actions matter,

and we are never alone.

I can't believe how many came.

It's only the beginning.

Next year we'll need a
bigger gathering house.

There's only one question

that's been on everyone's
lips for days.

Is Steve coming?

Well, he's here.

Dr. Steven Meyer, our founder,

our interpreter, and our guardian

has decided that the
time has come for him

to transcend his earthly form

and become pure Light.

I wept for days when he told me.

I begged him, begged him not to go.

But most of you know
he was a father to me.

He was my only real parent.

Then Steve reminded me that he's not...
he's not gone.

In fact, he's with us more than ever.

He's with us always.

Because every day as we rise and...
and see the sun

and feel its warmth,
every day when we look

to The Light, Steve is
looking back at us.

Steve promised a miracle,

and this is his miracle for us.

Because he loves us so very much.

He has asked that Sarah
and I assume his post.

And, together, we be
Guardians of The Light.

I for one know that I will try my best

to be half the leader he was.

Hey, Summer.

What's going on?

Daddy got me an invisible
ink pen for Christmas.

Congratulations, Sarah.

Oh, thank you, Meera. Thank you.

There's somebody at the front gate.

He's a real pain in the ass,
says he needs to see you.

- Um...
- I can call the cops.

No, no, that's okay.

I'll take care of it.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I want to talk to my daughter.

What's your daughter's name?

She's Mary Cox,

and the last time I was
here, that fucker Cal,

he tried to intimidate me.

All right, well, I'll go get
Mary, and we'll settle this.

Wait, wait, look.

You're a woman. You'll understand this.

My daughter is all I had.

He took her from me.

So until somebody makes
it worth my while,

I will haunt you.

You want us to pay you
for your daughter?

Or deliver her back to me.

You're disgusting.

- Call the cops.
- All right.

I'll be back then.

Yeah, we'll make it a
running date, huh?

Full moon next month.

Yeah, 'cause I got
nothing better to do.

You were here this time last month?

Yeah.

Full moon, November 29th,

when all the media people were here?

That's right.

You see Cal? You speak to him?

- What time was that?
- What time?

Oh, it was late.

Maybe 2:00 in the morning.

And he was driving out of here

like a man running from something.

You guys see Sarah?

I figured out your password.

My name.

Such a romantic.

You wrote the rungs.

I had to.

Steve's dying of cancer.

And I promised him I
would keep this alive.

Found your stash.

What are you gonna do? Tell everyone?

No, it's too late for that.

They love you.

I'm just gonna have to
figure something else out.

Like where the fuck Silas is.

Let's take the edge off, huh?

To the Truth.
