The Path (2016–2018): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Era of the Ladder - full transcript

Previously on "The Path"...

Cal's in charge.

He's watching over us
while our founder,

the Guardian of The Light, Dr.
Steven Meyer, he's in Peru

transcribing the last three
rungs of The Ladder.

Everyone has pain, Mary.

We just try not to carry it with us.

My dad started selling me to
his friends when I was 11.

Where the fuck have you been?

That's my dad.

Ooh!



Ever since he got back from
Peru, he's been distant.

Hello? No, you don't
need to know my name.

What's your name?

You tell me something so I
know that this isn't a trap.

Do you have to get that?

You having an affair, Eddie?

No. Look, this whole thing
is just a big mix-up.

Who'd you meet at the motel last night?

Was the vision of my brother...
was it real?

I mean, am I going to blow up my life

because of something I don't
even know if I really saw?

I guess so.

Do you see The Light?

Yes.



- Is Eddie with you?
- No.

Yes, I am.

I'm with you.

I am.

I see you.

Take his hand.

Now, I want you to lead him.

Lead him to The Truth.

Where are you taking me?

Back in time.

Here.

This is where I want to take you.

I lost something. I admit it.

I stopped wanting you like that.

I take responsibility. I do.

That's good, Sarah.

Sarah accepts her responsibility.

It's your turn.

Okay.

I take responsibility
too, but it's over.

It is done.

I regret it.

I just want to move forward.

We can't move forward until
you reveal everything,

because you're still
protecting Miranda Frank.

It is not Miranda Frank.

The Eye sees.

The Eye knows.

Infidelity is a great affront
to The Truth, Eddie.

I made a mistake.

A horrible, terrible mistake,
but people make mistakes.

I don't.

I'm going to recommend
14 days in-house, Eddie.

Why wasn't I enough?

You were.

Are.

Enough.

I just want our life back.

Then do the 14 days.

If you really love us, you will.

I love you.

I love the kids

more than anything,

but I won't do 14 days in here.

I won't.

Stay true to your message.

Be positive.

Relate to your audience.

Now, let's talk about
non-verbal techniques

we can use to further
enhance this connection.

Did you know you can use
your eyes to speak volumes?

Try it.

Use your eyes to convey
that you are serious.

Entertained.

Use your eyes to communicate
a sea of empathy.

And don't forget to smile.

However, studies show that
people don't react well to men

who smile too much.

But a well-placed smile

can be just what you
need to seal the deal.

Now, let's talk about...

Cal Roberts.

Thank so much for coming.

Glad I can be of service.

I have lunch on the veranda.

You eat lobster?

No.

Well, there are other options.

Is that what I think it is?

It is.

What is it you do exactly?

I operate a hedge fund.

Wow, Modigliani.

You like art?

No.

There was a time I used art

to deepen my understanding
of the human condition,

so Francis Bacon revealed a depth

of suffering that I
couldn't comprehend,

or a Dylan ballad

helped me get inside what
it meant to live as so many

in an existential drift.

Now that's the only art I need.

The rest is a distraction.

My wife insisted we
hang that thing there.

I tell the guests it's a Dali.

Please, have a seat.

- Kerry?
- Split step...

Excuse me.

I'm starving.

Hi.

Thank you so much for coming.

You know, I can't begin

to tell you how thankful
I am for the movement.

It got me through so much.

Sit down, please.

How long have you been a
follower, Mrs. Ridge?

Oh, Kerry, please.

Ten years, right, babe?
Wouldn't you say?

Your mom died in '04, so yeah.

Yeah, about ten years.

It's been hell. Not my mother.

That was hard, but nothing like this.

It's our son.

He's been in five rehabs.

- He's not our son anymore.
- Don't say that.

He's lied to us. Stolen from us.

And it's not like we
did anything wrong.

He had everything. Everything.

We want him to do your rehab program.

I met a woman in a Toward
the Light workshop,

and she said it changed her life.

It's... It's really our last hope.

We can definitely help your son.

I just want to be discreet.

Let's be honest.

It's a little cultish for
me to be associated with.

I'm prepared to make a
very large donation

for your help in this matter.

Hey, again.

Hi.

What are you studying?

I have a calc exam fifth period.

Oh, sorry. Am I bothering you?

It's okay.

My mom and I were at the
supermarket this morning,

and we heard someone say
that you guys, like,

brought people into your house

from the tornado to, like, help them.

Is that true?

Yeah.

I think it's really great
that you did that.

Cool.

Will you come to my house?

What?

I want to show you something.

I'm not really supposed to
hang out with girls like you,

like, alone.

Right, you can only hang out
with girls in your cult?

- We're not a cult.
- Yeah, religion.

Whatever. It's-movement, yeah, no.

Like, how we are right now is fine,

but at your house... not really.

I just really need someone to
see what's happening there,

and I don't really know
who else to go to, so...

We express deepest
gratitude for this day

and every day, for the
gift of this passage,

and that we have found The Ladder.

There is one Spirit
whose name is Truth.

Come on!

Oh, the squash looks so amazing.

- It's from my garden.
- You are amazing.

I wish I could manage my own garden.

You're so busy with
more important things.

I'm a gardener. It's just who I am.

That's why we work.

- He's a flower.
- Aw.

My mother used to say
the best relationships

have a gardener and a flower.

I'm definitely the gardener.

What? No, you're not. I'm the gardener.

What about you guys?

- I don't know.
- A flower.

You guys really think I'm a flower?

- I'm the gardener?
- Yeah, you're the gardener.

I'm more of a weed.

- You're not a weed.
- Not a flower.

- You're a cactus.
- While you garden me and stuff.

Yes, you are.

Can I ask a real question?

Please. This is the
dumbest conversation.

Uh, this girl from school

asked if I could come to her house.

An IS?

What does she want?

She said there's a problem,
and she needs my help.

Well, you can't.

I also can't refuse someone
who asks for help.

Okay, Dr. Meyer says tween
years are the most vulnerable.

I wouldn't be in this
situation if my dad

would let me leave
school, like I want to.

It can be a dangerous time, Eddie.

But isn't that the point?

For him to get through it,

so he can learn the skills he
needs to deal with the IS?

I mean that's what I was taught.

He's got everything he
needs to start the climb.

The Ladder provides the rest.

Look how great Sarah and I turned out.

Oh, I know, but he'll follow the rules.

He'll leave school when he's 16.

But Doc would bend the
rules for our family.

Eddie and I will talk
about it later, Dad.

And why shouldn't Hawk help this girl?

I mean, isn't that the whole point?

Help when help is asked for.

Bring people to The Light?

Okay.

You hear Snyder got moved to terrorism?

Snyder?

- There's no way.
- I swear to you.

Snyder's useless.

Snyder's a jackass.

- Hey, Abe, do you hear that?
- What's that?

Snyder got moved to terrorism.

Did you guys hear about this
tornado that hit New Hampshire?

Apparently some religious
group showed up in vans

two hours before FEMA.

I heard FEMA came through this time.

Not according to AOL.

Hey, is that coffee ready yet?

What group was it?

Scientologists?

No. Didn't say much.

You know, some small hippie commune.

Meyerist movement.

Sounds like this boy

is going to need months of realignment.

He started using when he was 12?

Can I just unburden for a second?

I know I'm supposed to be
above these kind of feelings,

but I...

I can't stand these
hypocritical, fake followers.

John Ridge wants us to help his son,

but he's ashamed to be
associated with us.

It's a challenge to put
aside our feelings,

but it's for the greater good.

Yeah, and a big donation.

Donation or no donation,

you tell this John Ridge I'm
going to fix his child.

That's how you get someone to believe.

What?

What, Cal?

- How's IRP?
- I don't know.

Eddie won't reveal anything.

Richard wants him to do
the 14 days in-house,

and he won't.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

I know I joke and flirt with you,

and I know you have your
whole family, but...

you know I'm here if you ever...

Thank you.

It'll all work itself out.
We have the tools.

Mm-hmm.

- I have a session.
- Oh.

One more thing.

Local news station asked
for an interview.

Human interest story about us,

'cause we took in the
refugees from the tornado.

Anyway, wanted to talk to you about it.

Oh, you're not thinking about doing it?

Yeah. I am.

What would Steve say?

I think he'd say, "Do it."

I doubt that.

Hi, Mary.

Why don't we talk about it later?

I'll leave you to your meeting.

How are you, Mary?

I'm so good.

You heading out with the novices later?

Yeah. I want to join or whatever.

I like your passion, Mary.

It's a little more
complicated than that.

To start, you'll have to commit
to 500 hours community service,

first run workshops, and
then you can take your vows.

Okay.

Or you can choose to
incorporate our practices

into your daily life
in the regular world.

Study your texts.

Go to the workshops.

You just have to really
believe this is your path,

to take your vows.

This is my path.

That's great to hear, Mary.

Okay, why don't we go into my office,

and we can talk about it? Yeah?

Hey, so these Meyerism people.

- Meyerism people?
- Yes, sir.

The ones that got to Rindge
after the tornado, before FEMA.

No one got to Rindge before FEMA.

Okay, so the Meyerism people
that got there after FEMA

and took some of the storm
refugees back to their camp

in upstate New York. What about 'em?

Some of the refugees aren't responding

to messages from their families.

I'm concerned, and I'm
putting them on cult watch.

Aren't they just a bunch of Dead Heads?

I don't think so, sir.

We can see the ones in need.

The lost ones, the ones in so much pain

they wear it on their faces.

The ones who long for truth,

like her.

How do we get her to come over here?

Maybe you have to go to her.

Come with me?

Okay.

Beautiful kids.

Hi. Sorry to bother you.

We saw that you were
sitting by yourself.

I'm not interested.

Okay, well, if you change
your mind... Sean.

- Sean Egan.
- I won't.

Mary Cox from New Hampshire.

Just saying I'm not, like,
a city person or anything.

Oh, no. Me neither. Washington state.

Where in Washington?

I'm from outside Olympia.

Marysville.

Where the shooting...

My sister.

Was killed?

- My twin.
- I didn't know that.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's okay.

It's good to say out loud.

My twin sister Sheila was killed
by our classmate at school.

I'm so sorry.

My parents can't say it.

How do you keep on going after that?

Well, my parents don't.

They're like zombies.

Meyerism helped me.

It helped me take all of
the anger and the sadness

and put it behind me so that
I can do good in the world.

Hey.

You scared the shit out of me.

Sorry.

You look like shit.

My... my wife.

She followed me to the
hotel the other night.

She thinks I'm having an affair.

Fuck.

Yeah, I'm in the IRP,
Infidelity Rehab Program.

Yeah, I know what it is.

They want me to do 14 days in-house.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Sorry, man. It's not funny.

I mean when you're in it,
it makes so much sense,

but once you're out it's like... pow.

How the hell am I going to do 14 days?

I'll go insane. I mean,
I'll give up names

that don't even exist or
worse I'll tell the truth.

Look.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

What?

Maybe it doesn't matter
if it's real or not.

So what if there's no Light, you know?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Of course it matters. The
truth has to matter.

That's why you joined the
movement in the first place.

That's why you're here right
now, because it fucking matters.

Yeah, but my wife.

My family.

I would die without them.

Yeah, but you can live in a
faith you know is a lie?

First of all, I don't... I
don't know that it's a lie.

And second, isn't that

what the whole fucking
rest of the world does?

They killed my husband
when he tried to leave!

They are trying to kill me,
and they will kill you.

There is no room for doubt.

What are you talking about?

- Nobody has killed anyone.
- Yeah, well,

if you really believe that,
then why are you so afraid?

Six months ago, they
killed my husband in Peru

when he said he was done.

I have spent the last three
months scraping together

$400 to escape San Diego.

I bought a crap car.

Managed to get it across the country.

I just wanted to go home.

I wanted to see my grandparents.

I haven't seen them in 16 years,

but when I got there they
were waiting for me.

They knew where to find me.

I've got nothing.

I've got no home.

No bank account. I'm
living like a fugitive.

My only hope is to find others.

Others like me. Ones like you.

Hey, no, no, no.

I'm not like you.

I'm not.

I don't know about this.

Jason Kemp.

My husband's name was Jason Kemp.

Please.

Please!

Please listen to me!

Try it.

We don't really eat meat.

Who is "we"?

My parents.

Oh. What are they,
hippies or something?

- Sort of.
- Well, Ashley should have

told me she was bringing a
friend home for dinner.

I would have cooked
something different.

No, thank you. It's fine.

I like the vegetables.

Where's your dad?

Oh, he died, hon.

Last year.

I'm sorry.

How did he die?

Okay, just take, like, one bite.

You're so bad, Ash.
He doesn't eat meat.

- You shouldn't force him.
- Yeah, but you have to,

like, try steak at least
once in your life.

Yeah, it's really good.

It is really good.

I'm a great cook.

If you're going to eat it
this is the way to go, right?

Organic grass-fed.

Okay.

I'll try some.

- No pressure, though.
- Yeah.

What do you think?

It's good.

- Really? You like it?
- Mm-hmm.

- You want more?
- No.

Well, I got to clean up

and get this one started
on his homework.

Oh, can...

What?

The door. Could we open it?

One sec.

Did your dad die in a bad way?

What's wrong with you?

What?

You ask, like, really
personal questions.

Oh, sorry.

We're taught to just say what we think.

Otherwise we get burdened.

Like, weighted down.

It was drunk driving.

Oh.

Yeah, my mom doesn't really
like people to know.

Talk about weighted down.

My mom doesn't like
anyone to know anything,

and now we're screwed.

Found all these in the trash.

She hasn't paid the mortgage
in, like, four months.

Now they're going to
take our house away,

and I tried to talk
to her about it too.

I, like, brought these to her,
and she completely freaked out

and started, like, yelling at me.

She was like, "This isn't
any of your business."

Like, refused to hear me.

Sorry.

You helped all those
people in the tornado.

Sorry. It's stupid.

We shouldn't still be doing this.

What's that?

My father had me out there
when I was five years old

handing out fliers.

Well, your dad was a good man.

- You ever talk to your mom?
- Uhuh.

People used to spit at me.

Someone even called Child Services.

Terrible.

You want some?

No?

Things need to change.

The pot?

Yeah, that too. The pot.

The medicine, the flyers.

The media blackout. That was the '70s.

This is a new time.

People need us.

Look!

Look at all the need out there,

and we can reach them.

But those who need The
Ladder find The Ladder.

Not with us on the street
corners like Jews for Jesus.

We have to be realistic.

If the people

could hear what we're about,
they would flock to us.

Can you imagine?

The whole world lived as we do?

We could achieve world peace.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think we're done for the day.

Hi.

You're late.

Yeah. Sorry.

It's just a rough day,
and I got behind.

Is Summer asleep?

Where's Hawk?

You told him he could
go to a girl's house.

I guess he's still at a girl's house.

Sarah.

How are we going to get through this?

The program.

That's how.

It's 14 days. It's
there for a reason...

So I do it, and you
suddenly forgive me?

Yes.

I don't get how me sitting in a cell,

getting my bio realigned,

telling the nitty-gritty of my life

is going to make it better.

Because it's designed
to make it better.

And your pain will just go away?

We have to try.

You know, you said you
never made a mistake,

but maybe you did.

- Me. Come on.
- No.

- Everyone knew it.
- That's not true.

I was a wild card.

You have no idea what
you're talking about.

Hey. No. Why?

Why did you, perfect Sarah, want me?

Huh?

You knew that this would happen
somewhere along the way.

- I would fuck up.
- Let me go.

No. I want to know.

I want to know what I am fighting for.

That is why.

That is why I fell in love with you.

What? Because I'm a fuck up?

No. Because we're all the same.

Me and my family.

All of us.

But you, I don't know. You're
different, like a window,

and I saw the world
differently through you.

Stop. No. No!

Let's go to the bedroom.

I am so mad at you.

Mom, Dad?

You guys up here?

Need to talk to you guys.

How could you do this
with someone else?

I only want you.

Hey. Dad made pancakes.

I'm not hungry.

How was dinner with
the girl from school?

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
How'd it go?

What'd she need help with?

Nothing.

Nothing?

It was dumb.

I'm going to walk to school.

Are you sure?

Everything okay?

Hawk?

It's a ten-minute human interest piece

that the 15 people who watch
the local news will see.

Steve has always said that
media attention will only

bring controversy and ire to
the purity of our movement.

I was with him right before he
went into lockdown writing,

and he said to me,

"The time has come when the
message will bring us love."

Like, he literally said
that to me, Sarah.

I need to hear it from him directly.

Unfortunately that isn't possible.

Sarah, Cal just opened
his heart to you,

and I feel like you didn't open yours.

Now, I know things are
rough at home, but...

What does this have to do
with my marriage, Dad?

Come on, honey. Mom and I talk.

- We talk to Richard.
- Oh, great.

You talk to my guide.

All of these burdens on you guys...

I think it's closing you
off from your work.

That is absolutely not true.

Hank, Hank, please.

Look, Sarah,

I know you know me.

Yes.

I do know you, Cal.

You think I'm seizing an opportunity?

Are you?

Yes. Yes.

That's why Steve wanted me here,
'cause he saw this coming,

the need to reach people.

And what we did in Rindge...
It did that.

It moved people.

It's time, it's time for us
to step out of the shadows.

Come on.

We all want that.

I'm not as high up on
The Ladder as you guys,

but when I look to the light,

I just... I feel it.

It's time.

Let the people know who we are finally.

Let 'em know.

Hey.

Don't, like, tell anyone
about what I told you, okay?

I'm just, like,

really freaked out about
the whole situation,

and they could, like, take our
house away any day now, so...

Isn't there someone you can talk to?

- Yeah, I'm talking to you.
- I can't...

What's going on?

I heard you had Jim Jones over
at your house last night.

Who told you that?

- Carrie Adams.
- Bitch.

Hey, don't you walk away, coward.

Hey, leave him alone.

- Bev, just let him go.
- Hey, hey.

You keep your Kool-Aid away
from my girlfriend, freak.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh!

Guys, stop it!

Hey, Gav.

Hey, Eddie. How's it going?

It's good. It's good.

I was just wondering if I could
look someone up in the system.

Oh, sure. Who's that?

You mind if I do it?

It's just someone who used to be
one of us that isn't anymore.

I can do it for you.

Okay.

Great. Thank you.

His name is Jason.

Jason Kemp.

- Oh.
- What?

The poor thing. It's awful.

He killed himself.

Does it say how?

Hello?

Yeah, this is him.

You want to tell me what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

- You got into a fight.
- Yeah.

Well, what am I supposed to do
when someone calls me a freak?

Not fight.

Come on, we don't fight.

We're above that.

Yeah. Try being here.

- Okay. I know.
- No, you don't.

I ate steak, Dad.

Oh.

That's okay, kid.

- It's not that bad.
- Yeah, it is.

It is bad, 'cause you do one thing,

and you think it's just a little
thing, and it's not that bad.

And the next thing you know
everything's out of control,

and I just want the
world back in control.

Okay, hey, Hawk, slow down.

- What happened, Dad?
- What?

You were going to let me
leave this stupid place

until you went on your retreat.

I think you did something there.

Something bad with someone.

Someone who wasn't Mom.

- Who told you that?
- Nobody.

Nobody had to tell me.

I listen.

I can hear the truth.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

I love you guys,

and I would never do
anything to hurt you.

Well, you did hurt us.

I know you hurt Mom, and
you really hurt me,

and now, God, everything's
just messed up and confusing,

and I just want everything
back the way it used to be.

And you should let me leave school.

You shouldn't make me stay
here because of your mistake.

Hello?

Mary? What are you doing here?

Looking for you.

- Oh.
- Hope you're not mad.

- No.
- What are you doing here?

Thinking.

Sean and I signed up three
people from the park yesterday.

They're coming to the next gathering.

Well, you're a natural.

Yeah, well, it's easy when you believe.

And I believe in you.

No, you believe in the movement.

No.

I believe in you.

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.

Please?

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Love Sean.

You're beautiful together.

Together you'll bring
so many to The Ladder.

- Hey?
- Hmm?

Good morning.

Hey.

I wanted to talk to you about
something really quick,

before the kids get up.

I've just been thinking
about it all night.

What?

I'm going to do the program, Sarah.

The 14 days.

Hmm?

Why all of a sudden?

I just want this to be over with.

I want to be back to before.

Everything was so clear,

and now I feel like I don't know.

- I want to get back too.
- Yeah.

Let's get back.

I am so glad you're doing this, Eddie.

Thanks for talking sense into me, kid.

Sorry I got in a fight, Dad.

- Now we're even.
- Yeah.

But we have to be better than the IS.

Aw, honey.

- I'll see you in a couple weeks.
- Okay.

Ready?

Ready?

As I'll ever be.

Today I'm talking to Calvin
Roberts, Guardian of The Light.

Is that right?

Our founder is The Guardian.

You can just call me...

Responsible for East Coast.

All right. Take it back.

Today I'm talking to Calvin Roberts,

responsible for the East
Coast Meyerist movement,

a little-known cult

whose headquarters are
situated in upstate New York.

Excuse me.

If I can just interrupt.

First, I want to thank you
so much for having me,

and second, I just want to
set the record straight.

- Meyerism is not a cult.
- Oh, no?

No, we're a movement.

A movement of people with
a very simple vision

to be everything God intended
when He created us in His image,

so we believe that by achieving
personal enlightenment,

or Truth,

we can achieve universal
enlightenment, universal Truth.

I know, I know.

It sounds a little idealistic,

but the great triumphs of the centuries

were achieved by the
idealism of individuals,

so we aim to be Light

and eradicate the world's suffering.

That's a tall order.

The world is full of suffering.

I mean, I wouldn't even know
where to begin to do...

Well, no. No, that's why so many

don't begin, because you're right.

It's just... It's too overwhelming,

and that's why we train
ourselves to listen...

Because if you listen very closely,

you will hear the souls
calling out for help.

And you will find that some
of them are in your backyard,

and maybe if you listen
even more closely

you'll find that the soul in
need of care is your own.

And then if you follow this
way, the path of Meyerism,

someone'll reach out to you,
or you'll reach out to them,

and you will have started.

One soul at a time,

and then who knows?

But perhaps one soul at a time

we transform

our broken, broken world

into a place that is whole again.

Well, that sounds...

Sign me up.

Cal.

Wow. Amazing interview.

Unbelievable.

Really, I put it on my Facebook page.

- I've gotten over 500 likes.
- Thanks.

Sit down.

Join us for brunch.

Not today.

We're taking your son,

and I promise we will
get him off drugs,

but here's what I need from you.

You're going to take The Eye
from your little museum,

and you're going to hang it prominently

on the wall above the piano.

And then you're going
to get another Eye,

and you're going to
hang it in your office.

And then you're going to
tell everyone you invest for

about this movement
that has spoken to you,

that has made you see
the world in a new way,

and that has saved your son.

What the fuck? You
cannot do this to me!

I'm a prisoner!

I'm gonna call the cops!

Mom!

Please, Mom! Help!

Because I don't give a shit
about your million dollars,

Mr. Ridge.

I want your faith.

Okay, let's go to work.

The Truth is the most
precious thing in life.

Would you agree?

And why is it precious?

- Brings us to The Light.
- To The Light.

Ah! You're doing good.

Sarah's an easy person
to love, isn't she?

First time you saw her, did
you think anything sexually?

- Of course.
- Is there anything

different about the way that
you thought sexually about her

than any other woman than
you think sexually about?

Come on. The truth.

You got to unburden here. Tell me.

Tell me what you saw when
you met Miranda Frank!

What turned you on about Miranda Frank?

I already told you.

I already told you, okay! Okay!

What else do you want to hear?

What's the matter with you?

What else do you want to hear?

What else do you want to hear?
Why can't you tell the truth?

Were you thinking of Sarah,

or were you thinking...
Driving me nuts.

Can't even get to the basics.

How are we going to get anywhere?

You're wasting my time.

You know, I've given
my life to this work.

It's everything to me.

You're driving me out
of my fucking mind.

I've never had anybody
as difficult as you.

You know that? What's wrong with you?

- Why can't you tell the truth?
- Eddie, what do you see?

What?

What's wrong with you?

What?

In here?

Off to Cusco?

It's incredible

how many phone calls we've
received since your interview.

I guess Steve was right.

Your message brought love.

- Things are changing, Sarah.
- Yeah.

Things better with Eddie?

Has he unburdened?

Miranda Frank.

I always knew.

Anyway, someone from
Midwest will talk to her.

That's good.

Things'll be better.

- Send Steve my love.
- Absolutely, I will.

Miranda?

Hi.

It was extraordinary.

I mean, I know it was just
some small, local thing,

but you have to start somewhere...

And I think you would have been proud.

It could be a new era for us.

The era of The Ladder.
