The Path (2016–2018): Season 2, Episode 12 - Spiritus Mundi - full transcript
Richard is cast from the movement after it's discovered he helped Eddie. At the same time, someone runs Sarah off the road. In the woods, Mary's in danger as her baby is ready to be delivered.
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.
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.
*
* When the morning breaks
Gimme 20 minutes!
* Chase away the snakes
* Is it my fate
*
* To dream of snakes
* Darkness is a boon
*
* Paradoxes loom
* Thinking room
*
* Loneliness dooms
*
* In my bed I curse
- Jeremiah!
* Despair around me swirls
- Richard.
* I whirl
* And find a girl
- Huh.
Triathalon?
- Weird. I know.
With my asthma and all.
- Huh. It was because of
your asthma
that Steve started you swimming.
He said it would be good
for your lungs.
- Then I took up the bike.
Then the run.
- You make it sound so easy.
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.
I wish I hadn't believed
that you lost your worth
when you lost your faith.
- Well, you did.
Good-bye, Jeremiah.
*
You've reached
Sarah Lane's voicemail.
Please leave a message.
- Hi, hi, hi, uh...
I just wanted to, um...
I know that there's been
some struggle and, uh...
I completely understand.
You didn't call last night,
so, um...
I just wanted to make sure
that you're okay.
Um...
and, uh...
and, uh, yeah,
and we're okay, um...
Ha.
I've been...
so, um...
a-and, you know,
being with you has been...
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'm sorry, sir.
We have no one under that name.
- Uh... thanks.
*
Uhh... ohh!
Aah!
*
- Morning.
I'm Gabriel.
You had a very bad accident.
Your arm is broken.
It was a miracle
it wasn't worse, Mrs. Lane.
- Sarah.
You're okay.
Thank you.
Hawk's with me.
He... he just went downstairs
to get some food.
You don't know
how terrified we were.
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?
- I had to see who he was
for myself.
- When did you see him?
- Right before this.
- What?
- No.
No, Eddie didn't do this.
- Okay.
- Hey, Mom.
- Oh, my baby.
- Where's Summer?
- 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...
I promise you, Hawk,
if he did anything to hurt her,
I will not let him
get away with it.
- Thank you, Cal.
- Thank you for telling me, um...
Could you do me a favor
and tell my mom
I'll see her at the house later?
- Yeah. Hawk, what are you...
- Nothing.
I just, um...
I'll see her at home.
And the driver...
- I don't know.
- Okay.
- I wish I could tell you more.
- I-I don't remember.
- All right, well,
we're all done here,
Mrs. Lane.
Uh, this is the stuff that was
pulled out of the wreckage
of your car.
- Oh. Thank you very much.
- I hope you feel better.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Detective.
Thank you, Officer.
Thank you.
- How did this get in there?
She called it a donation,
- but it...
- I'm sorry, to be clear,
who called it a donation?
- Sarah Lane.
- Thank you.
Sarah Lane called it
a donation, but...
- Well, she... Sarah
said if I chose not to donate,
she would mail the tapes
to my wife.
- I was like 15,
and it was an accident.
We were kids, drunk,
playing around, rough.
But my wife didn't know.
Sarah comes to me...
I write a check.
Of course,
my wife finds the check.
I admit it, you know,
thinking it's in my past.
But my wife takes the kid.
Says she can't look at me
anymore
knowing what I did
to that girl, and now?
I have nothing.
She's gone, my kid's gone,
and Sarah?
She walks around...
untouchable.
*
Hawk.
- 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?
I mean, it could be
the same person who...
Who ran me off the road
last night.
- Well, let's try and figure out
how it got in your car first.
- That's what I'm doing.
- Is that...
Uh... you found her?
- Mary?
- Okay.
Mary?
Wrap the blanket
around her shoulders.
You bring water?
*
- What are you doing?
- I was wondering if ya...
had a couch I could use.
- Yeah. Take the house.
Key's in the box.
It's paid through the month.
- Where're you going?
- Look, I...
I'm done, okay?
I just can't do this anymore.
- There's, uh... Lots of good
has come from this.
- Really?
What?
Honestly, what good
has come from this?
- We've helped people,
and we can help more.
- Well, we'll never
get the chance
because it's all Cal
and Sarah now,
and they're gonna
burn it... to the ground.
You know what Sarah's doing
with your unburdening sessions?
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.
You bet on the wrong horse.
- But...
but...
but the last rung
of The Ladder is Augur.
It requires no work, no study.
It will come to you,
so you will see!
*
- Hi.
How's, uh, how's everyone doing?
I'm sorry, Sarah.
- I take all the responsibility.
I was asleep, intoxicated.
I don't know what I was.
I can't be mad at you
when I had all the information.
I had Silas's body...
What more did I need?
I knew who you were.
- I'm not asleep anymore.
I'm wide fucking awake.
Hold your son.
He'll need you.
*
*
We are gathered here
this morning
to bless a new life,
greatest creation
of The Light's love.
Welcome, little one...
to our world.
You are whole,
and you are broken,
as we all are.
We're all alone in the world,
but we're your family.
Let this child love
and know what it is to be loved.
- And joy.
We wish this baby joy.
And jokes.
Lots of 'em.
Cal Roberts is a snake!
Cal wrote the final rungs!
Cal is a false Guardian!
The Light has chosen Eddie Lane!
Eddie Lane!
Stay where you are.
The door is locked!
Okay, Devin, Devin,
go down, check the other door.
Go now! Now!
Find a phone, call... call Sarah.
Call the guardhouse.
Everybody stay calm!
*
Eddie Lane will return
and build The Garden!
He is the chosen son!
- Richard?
- Cal Roberts is a snake!
- It's... it's gonna be okay.
*
Richard?
Richard?
You try.
3-3-7-3.
- He changed the code.
Richard!
What are you doing?
Let me in.
Richard...
listen to me.
What are you doing?
- Shit!
- Richard...
- what are you doing in there?
Sarah.
- Sarah...
Run!
*
* When the morning breaks
* Chase away the snakes
* Is it my fate
*
* To dream of snakes
*
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.
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.
*
* When the morning breaks
Gimme 20 minutes!
* Chase away the snakes
* Is it my fate
*
* To dream of snakes
* Darkness is a boon
*
* Paradoxes loom
* Thinking room
*
* Loneliness dooms
*
* In my bed I curse
- Jeremiah!
* Despair around me swirls
- Richard.
* I whirl
* And find a girl
- Huh.
Triathalon?
- Weird. I know.
With my asthma and all.
- Huh. It was because of
your asthma
that Steve started you swimming.
He said it would be good
for your lungs.
- Then I took up the bike.
Then the run.
- You make it sound so easy.
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.
I wish I hadn't believed
that you lost your worth
when you lost your faith.
- Well, you did.
Good-bye, Jeremiah.
*
You've reached
Sarah Lane's voicemail.
Please leave a message.
- Hi, hi, hi, uh...
I just wanted to, um...
I know that there's been
some struggle and, uh...
I completely understand.
You didn't call last night,
so, um...
I just wanted to make sure
that you're okay.
Um...
and, uh...
and, uh, yeah,
and we're okay, um...
Ha.
I've been...
so, um...
a-and, you know,
being with you has been...
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'm sorry, sir.
We have no one under that name.
- Uh... thanks.
*
Uhh... ohh!
Aah!
*
- Morning.
I'm Gabriel.
You had a very bad accident.
Your arm is broken.
It was a miracle
it wasn't worse, Mrs. Lane.
- Sarah.
You're okay.
Thank you.
Hawk's with me.
He... he just went downstairs
to get some food.
You don't know
how terrified we were.
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?
- I had to see who he was
for myself.
- When did you see him?
- Right before this.
- What?
- No.
No, Eddie didn't do this.
- Okay.
- Hey, Mom.
- Oh, my baby.
- Where's Summer?
- 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...
I promise you, Hawk,
if he did anything to hurt her,
I will not let him
get away with it.
- Thank you, Cal.
- Thank you for telling me, um...
Could you do me a favor
and tell my mom
I'll see her at the house later?
- Yeah. Hawk, what are you...
- Nothing.
I just, um...
I'll see her at home.
And the driver...
- I don't know.
- Okay.
- I wish I could tell you more.
- I-I don't remember.
- All right, well,
we're all done here,
Mrs. Lane.
Uh, this is the stuff that was
pulled out of the wreckage
of your car.
- Oh. Thank you very much.
- I hope you feel better.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Detective.
Thank you, Officer.
Thank you.
- How did this get in there?
She called it a donation,
- but it...
- I'm sorry, to be clear,
who called it a donation?
- Sarah Lane.
- Thank you.
Sarah Lane called it
a donation, but...
- Well, she... Sarah
said if I chose not to donate,
she would mail the tapes
to my wife.
- I was like 15,
and it was an accident.
We were kids, drunk,
playing around, rough.
But my wife didn't know.
Sarah comes to me...
I write a check.
Of course,
my wife finds the check.
I admit it, you know,
thinking it's in my past.
But my wife takes the kid.
Says she can't look at me
anymore
knowing what I did
to that girl, and now?
I have nothing.
She's gone, my kid's gone,
and Sarah?
She walks around...
untouchable.
*
Hawk.
- 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?
I mean, it could be
the same person who...
Who ran me off the road
last night.
- Well, let's try and figure out
how it got in your car first.
- That's what I'm doing.
- Is that...
Uh... you found her?
- Mary?
- Okay.
Mary?
Wrap the blanket
around her shoulders.
You bring water?
*
- What are you doing?
- I was wondering if ya...
had a couch I could use.
- Yeah. Take the house.
Key's in the box.
It's paid through the month.
- Where're you going?
- Look, I...
I'm done, okay?
I just can't do this anymore.
- There's, uh... Lots of good
has come from this.
- Really?
What?
Honestly, what good
has come from this?
- We've helped people,
and we can help more.
- Well, we'll never
get the chance
because it's all Cal
and Sarah now,
and they're gonna
burn it... to the ground.
You know what Sarah's doing
with your unburdening sessions?
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.
You bet on the wrong horse.
- But...
but...
but the last rung
of The Ladder is Augur.
It requires no work, no study.
It will come to you,
so you will see!
*
- Hi.
How's, uh, how's everyone doing?
I'm sorry, Sarah.
- I take all the responsibility.
I was asleep, intoxicated.
I don't know what I was.
I can't be mad at you
when I had all the information.
I had Silas's body...
What more did I need?
I knew who you were.
- I'm not asleep anymore.
I'm wide fucking awake.
Hold your son.
He'll need you.
*
*
We are gathered here
this morning
to bless a new life,
greatest creation
of The Light's love.
Welcome, little one...
to our world.
You are whole,
and you are broken,
as we all are.
We're all alone in the world,
but we're your family.
Let this child love
and know what it is to be loved.
- And joy.
We wish this baby joy.
And jokes.
Lots of 'em.
Cal Roberts is a snake!
Cal wrote the final rungs!
Cal is a false Guardian!
The Light has chosen Eddie Lane!
Eddie Lane!
Stay where you are.
The door is locked!
Okay, Devin, Devin,
go down, check the other door.
Go now! Now!
Find a phone, call... call Sarah.
Call the guardhouse.
Everybody stay calm!
*
Eddie Lane will return
and build The Garden!
He is the chosen son!
- Richard?
- Cal Roberts is a snake!
- It's... it's gonna be okay.
*
Richard?
Richard?
You try.
3-3-7-3.
- He changed the code.
Richard!
What are you doing?
Let me in.
Richard...
listen to me.
What are you doing?
- Shit!
- Richard...
- what are you doing in there?
Sarah.
- Sarah...
Run!
*
* When the morning breaks
* Chase away the snakes
* Is it my fate
*
* To dream of snakes
*
