The Path (2016–2018): Season 2, Episode 5 - Why We Source - full transcript
Previously on "The Path"...
- I want to apologize.
- I would ask that you stop your
campaign of false propaganda.
The stuff that DeKaan
puts in that water
isn't going to show up
on your average tests.
- Can you find it?
- Yeah, but it's not cheap.
I told the people of Clarksville
that I would test their water,
and now I need the funds
to do it.
- She blackmailed you.
- I can go to jail if I have to.
- I am not letting you
go to jail.
- I had other relationships.
- You're my wife,
and I am with you,
if you're with me... only me.
- The meds are going to help
ease the panic attacks,
dysphoria.
I spoke with a colleague
who gave me information
about a support group.
- My name is Eddie,
and I was in a cult.
- But I owe my life to Steve
and his work,
and I will find who hurt him.
- What if that man was Cal?
- There's someone among us?
I remember... I think
I was eight or nine,
Steve asked me what I thought
The Movement had most to fear.
"Ignorance," I answered.
"No," he replied.
"Complacency."
Our own complacency.
It's so easy to become fixated
on the rungs,
both the one you're on now,
and the one you're ascending to.
Always, always inside
your own head,
where you find you can think
of nothing but ascension.
It's a... it's a kind
of tunnel vision, so...
- Why are they doing this?
- Did you talk to Cal?
- I saw murder in his eyes.
I've seen that look
too many times.
I checked the travel records.
He was here when Steve died.
- So he didn't do it
with his bare hands.
Sarah asked me to come back.
She needed someone here
with Steve's interest at heart.
- Is what she's doing now
with Steve's interest at heart?
- There's always more space
to be filled with...
With all that The Light
has to give us.
And that is why we source.
Have a seat.
How are you today, Oliver?
- Good, sir.
- No need to call me sir.
Nothing to be nervous about,
really.
- Okay.
- Can you go ahead and place
your left hand, palm down,
on the clear page
in front of you?
- Like this?
- That's exactly right.
Do you understand
why you're here?
- I think so.
- Mm-hmm.
- Is it supposed to do this?
- We keep damage stored
inside of us.
It becomes chemicals.
When the right questions
are asked,
the chemicals mix
with our sweat.
The pink tells us
that you're holding back.
You need to uncover more,
so we can help you...
help yourself.
Can you state your name for me?
- My name is Eddie Lane.
Um... it's my second time here.
I've been out of my, uh...
I left my cult, um...
six months ago.
And it's been, uh,
it's been hard.
You know,
I've had panic attacks,
um... paranoia.
- We've all been there.
We call this the Anomie stage.
You're refocusing
from the group mind to the I.
You're asking who am I.
- Yeah, which has been...
- It's been hard.
'Cause I've spent the last,
God, almost 20 years
knowing what this
was all about, you know.
I was going to sleep
for what I was waking up for.
You know, I knew what
was going to happen when...
when I died.
Um, I knew how to raise my kids.
I, uh... I had my kids.
And the thing is,
I really thought
that I was freer
that I had even been.
You know, freer...
I thought I was freer
than the rest of the world.
But, you know,
now I see the truth.
It controlled me.
Are you free?
I don't think so.
Not yet.
Well, what controls you?
Pornography. Yeah, that
would definitely be my thing.
- It's all been like this.
- Run of the mill, sex stuff.
Before I came here,
I was watching it, like,
16 hours a day.
- I told you
there's been nothing.
If the FBI have someone
among us,
I haven't found them yet.
Sarah, um...
Lisa Jackson would have
told you anything
to get her tape back.
- Mm, you weren't there.
- She was telling the truth.
And it could be anyone.
- Guilt can be very powerful.
- Keep looking.
- This is just routine.
You can relax.
Oh, man.
So good we do this.
- I don't smoke anymore.
- I just... just in case.
- It's all good.
- This is why we source.
"To uncover that which
you hide from yourself."
It's beautiful.
Now you decide what to do.
You want to put it back
under the mattress,
or give over.
Completely.
Empty yourself,
so that you can be filled
with The Truth.
Yeah!
All right, girls, who's next?
Do you find
you can trust people?
No.
No?
- I'm ex-military.
- I worked in security for years.
Life experience has beaten
the trust out of me.
- Yeah.
So you, uh,
you know all the tactics then.
To deceive.
- That's my job.
It was my job.
Knowing what deception
looks like.
Decided to buck the
limitations of The Light, huh?
Chose free will.
Leadership over the "word."
- Let's just say
The Light provided.
We received a donation.
- We're very grateful.
- We've been having trouble
finding someone
to take on the testing.
- Well, I told Sarah here
I'd be glad to do it.
I love to stick it to the man
and God,
whoever I can
who thinks he's above me.
- I can offer you 25 grand.
I thought perhaps you'd like
to donate the extra cost
of your services
to the greater good.
- The kind of testing
you're asking for
is time-consuming
and expensive.
- The community's trying
to pull together extra funds.
If I get my friends
and neighbors
to throw in their last dimes,
how can we be sure you're gonna
find what's in the water?
- You believe there's something
in your water, Mr. Small?
- I know there's something
in our water.
What did he do?
- Hey, what's going on?
- I'm his mother.
- We have a warrant
for Hawk Lane.
- What for?
- Breaking and entering,
vandalism.
They'll explain the charges
after booking.
- Mom, is this...
- You need a lawyer
before you say anything.
- Okay, listen, I'm gonna be
right behind you, okay?
- Mom, what's going on?
- It's gonna be okay.
- Everything's ruined.
- The fridge is completely broken.
- Does he know?
Does Cal know the baby
could be his?
- I don't think so.
- I got called in
to source today.
How am I not going
to tell him everything?
- How am I not going to...
- You can't.
You have to keep everything
inside.
- But how?
- And why?
- Because we can use it.
Cal doesn't want anyone to know
something happened between us.
He doesn't want Sarah to know.
I love our life.
I love this house.
We can have more.
Just need to be careful.
- Hey, how's it going,
sweetheart?
- You can take the bottom bunk.
- Hi, I'm Hawk.
- He don't talk to us.
- 'Cause we're white.
- I'm Hawk.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hawk, that's like a bird,
Hawk.
You got a cool name.
You got big hair,
that's cool hair.
- So wh... what'd you do
to get in here?
- I'm just gonna read...
if that's okay.
- When can I see my son?
- As soon as his attorney
comes out.
- Hey, what the hell happened?
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
Our kid's locked up.
No, no, I want a real lawyer,
not your cult lawyer.
- So that's what you think now,
I'm in a cult?
- Sarah, this is bullshit, okay?
- This is our kid.
- Okay, I need you to stay calm.
Let me explain what's going on
because it isn't good.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- We're gonna get you
out of here.
- Why would Ms. DeKaan do this?
I apologized, she said she would
drop the charges.
- I brought the water in
to be tested.
- Oh, so you put The Movement
over your family.
- No big surprise.
- Stop it, Dad.
- I thought I did it
under the radar.
I have no idea
how she found out.
- I'm glad you stood up to her.
- No, you don't know
what you're talking about.
Hawk, you don't want to ruin
your life at 16.
- Why is he here?
- Because I am your father
and someone has to look out
for your best interest.
- I can look out
for my own best interest.
- Okay, let's settle down.
This is not a simple situation.
These charges are extreme.
Breaking and entering,
vandalism,
- assault with a deadly weapon.
- What weapon?
- And the worst of it is,
she somehow was able to pressure
the DA into slapping Hawk with
a domestic terrorism charge.
- What?
- It's a federal offense
with huge ramifications.
- What a nightmare.
- Terrorism?
- You have got to be kidding me.
- Falls under Eco-terrorism,
but it's treated the same
as any other kind of terrorism.
The last thing
The Movement needs...
- I don't care how this affects
The Movement.
I care how it affects my son.
- DeKaan has friends
and influence,
but she doesn't have The Light.
Oh, my God.
- I don't want to be
blackmailed.
It's okay.
I can do this.
- No, it is not okay, Hawk.
- So what happens now?
Can he come home
until the trial?
- He's being detained
until they set bail.
- When's that?
- We don't have a date yet.
They have 45 hours.
- I re-listened to our sourcing
session this morning,
and some of your prior
unburdening tapes.
Your baby died.
I'm sorry.
That must be the most brutal
thing in the world.
You have two other
young children.
- Yes.
- What... what if we could reunite
you with your family?
- Yes, yes, I'd...
- I'd like that.
- I think we can do that.
I-I think that
should be your goal,
your family back together,
part of our family.
- I have reason to believe
there may be someone among us
working for the FBI.
- No way.
- Here?
No, I-I don't see that.
- No.
I checked your references
in security, um...
You have a tremendous amount
of experience.
- Yeah.
- I-I'd like you
to help us out, Sam.
- Yes, of course.
- Good.
Good.
- Hi, um, Ms. DeKaan,
it's me, Sarah, calling again,
and, um, I am very, very sorry.
I know you are angry,
but I'm just asking you
to please
call me back.
I'm... I'm begging you, please.
Please just call me.
- I can't believe
she won't talk it out.
We should go to her house.
Russel and I
can drive over there.
- No, no, no, Carla said that'll
just make things worse.
- Hey, you know, kids...
- Guys!
- Kids, please, can you just
go upstairs to play?
- Upstairs, everyone.
- Russel, make them play upstairs.
I'm trying.
You okay, sweetie?
- Hey.
- You all right?
- Is Hawk in trouble because
we've been seeing a Denier?
- What Denier?
- He sees the kids, Mom.
At least he did.
You know, Hawk doesn't see him
anymore, but Summer does.
He's her father, Mom.
- What happened
to your brother...
- Gaby, go gentle.
- It has nothing to do
with you seeing your dad.
This will all be resolved
very soon.
And your big brother will be
back in his room
where he belongs, okay?
Okay?
- Hey, come here.
- I'm sorry, I have to unburden.
Russel never goes against
the word,
follows all the rules, and she's
the Guardian of the Light?
- Have some compassion, sweetie.
- And keep your mouth shut.
- Russel, I want to go home.
Now.
- That was good of you...
- the Summer part.
- Well, you would think
it was good
because you're guilty
of the same thing Sarah is.
- Gaby, you've been accusing me
of that for years.
- It's just not true.
- Just unburden.
- I'm not the one
who needs to unburden.
I know why Kodiak
went to Siberia.
- To escape persecution.
- It had nothing to do with me.
- He wanted to get over you.
- He got caught
dealing marijuana.
I'm not having
this conversation.
- I need to because having him
here is throwing me off.
- I'm with you, Hank.
You...
I always have been.
Don't let your fears
send you down that road again.
- Gab...
- Don't lie. Just don't.
Don't backpedal.
I am with you.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Cal.
- I came as soon as I heard
Hawk was in trouble.
- Why didn't you call me?
- Look, I am so scared.
I've called Libby DeKaan
a thousand times,
and I'm really afraid
I messed up.
- No, no, no, no, you did not.
You had no way of knowing
Ms. DeKaan was this kind
of a monster.
- She's poisoning
an entire community.
Of course I should have known.
- We will deal with this.
Get in the car, Sarah.
We're talking to Libby.
- Look, I've called her,
all right?
She won't pick up.
- Eddie, we will take care
of this.
- This is a family matter, Cal.
Sarah, just get in the car.
We're gonna go help Hawk.
- Tell me what you need
me to do, all right?
I want to help you
take care of this.
- I can have him taken away
from you, Sarah.
Legally.
This happened on your watch.
Any court of law would agree.
- No, he's wrong, Sarah.
- I have to.
Do you know everything
you need to know?
First thing that
pops into your mind.
Even if you don't understand
the question.
- I know more...
than I should know.
- All right, how so?
- I know things I shouldn't.
Like I know that becoming
a father is making me...
feel different.
- Different?
- Well, in "The Ladder"
it says that
family is important,
"if the individual family
in our communities are working,
then our larger family
is working."
- I'm... I'm not sure I'm, uh,
I'm following you.
- Now that I'm becoming
a father,
I have needs
for my individual family.
Things me and Mary
and the baby need.
- Like?
- A new refrigerator
for the guest house.
Ours is broken, and it's small.
We need
a full-sized refrigerator.
- Well, I-I think
that'll do, uh, Sean, yeah.
Thank you for coming in.
We are not free.
Even when they unlock the door
to this prison,
we are still prisoners.
506 deaths in Chicago last year,
96% brown people.
Want to know how many died
on Memorial weekend this year?
63.
63 people on the South Side,
brown people,
youngest was 16.
A young girl sitting in the car
next to her boyfriend.
We have a visitor.
- Is it okay if I listen?
- What's your book say about it?
Your little Ladder book.
Yeah, I did my research.
What's your book got to say
about what's happening
in America?
- It was written
in the '70s, so...
- And you think all this shit
wasn't happening in the '70s?
White man who wrote your book
left it all out, didn't he?
- No.
Doc acknowledged that
we were destroying ourselves
with violence and pollution.
He didn't, but the...
The Light did,
and then The Light gave him the
message, and he wrote it down.
- The Light?
- Everyone is equal
in our Movement.
- Equal in your Movement,
but better than everyone else
in the world?
Did the guy who wrote your book
write it that way
so you had an excuse
to turn a blind eye?
- I'm in here because I stood up
for people
outside of our Movement.
People whose water
was being poisoned.
- And you'll be out of this
prison in two days tops,
and not because
of your book there.
Because that's the way
the system works.
You may think
you're not a cog in it,
but you are.
- Do you have a plan, Eddie?
Or are we just gonna sit here
all day?
- We're gonna sit here until
she comes out of the building.
And then we're gonna
talk to her.
- I don't know what you're gonna
say, she's a tough woman.
- No way, that's not...
- That's her.
- Excuse me, Ms. DeKaan.
Uh, hi, my name is Eddie Lane.
I'm Hawk Lane's father.
- Yes, I was very upfront
with your wife,
and she refused my generosity.
- So now you're gonna throw
our son in jail for terrorism?
What are you?
We will stop everything.
I will withdraw the testing.
I am begging you.
You'll never see us ever again.
- Hey, I know my wife put you
in a complicated position,
but I don't think you want
anything else
on your conscience.
It must be so painful that
your own son won't talk to you.
- Who the fuck do you think
you are?
I will crush you.
- But he wants
to talk to you now.
Hey, Brendon, here she is.
- You called my fucking son?
You're sick.
You're sick.
Brendon?
Hello?
Honey?
How are you?
Of course.
You're sadistic.
- You know, it's already hard
enough to sleep at night.
Locking our kid away
isn't gonna make it easier.
- How did you know...
- about the son?
- Uh, Google.
I just, you know,
did a bunch of research and...
I read that she had a kid.
They got in this
big public disagreement.
Now they don't talk.
You know, I just kept thinking
to myself that...
I would do anything
to get Hawk
to want to talk to me again.
Hopefully Libby feels
the same way about her kid.
- I am so sorry, Eddie.
You know,
if I have done anything...
to sabotage Hawk's future, I...
will never forgive myself.
And Summer...
- now she's so confused.
- How is she confused?
- About... about why
this is happening.
You know, I...
She's confused.
I'm confused.
- Hey, we are not going to let
anything bad happen to Hawk.
- But it's out of our hands.
- All this praying
and looking to The Light,
it's not gonna help us.
- Hey.
You are strong, okay.
And we are going
to get through this.
- Cal.
- I won't be blackmailed.
- Yes, you will.
- Is... is the baby mine?
Or could he be mine?
- Yes.
- What, he's mine,
or he could be mine?
- I don't know.
That's the truth.
But it could be yours.
- Big breath out for me.
- Well, I cannot find
anything wrong.
- Really?
'Cause, you know, my heart
all of a sudden
will just start beating fast.
- Well, you can go into town
for an EKG to be sure.
But you know what I think?
- What's that?
- All that work you're doing
in 1R is bringing stuff up,
and that stuff can hurt.
- Sam, you okay?
- Hey, yeah.
- Seems so.
Well, Shelby couldn't find
anything.
- Oh, whew.
- Yeah.
I just got this little flutter
in my heart.
It's been kind of
freaking me out.
- I think this one
has pink eye again.
Come on back, sweetie.
Let me check.
- Listen, I heard about
your nephew getting locked up
by DeKaan.
- I'm really sorry to hear that.
- It's truly awful.
Okay, what?
- Nothing, it's just...
Between us, of course.
- Of course.
- I just found out that Sarah
lets the kids see their father.
- Oh, Eddie.
- It doesn't take a psychology
degree to know that's why Hawk
acted out in the first place.
- Yeah.
- You can't lead a double life
and think it's not
gonna mess with your kids.
What?
Sam?
I'm sure Layla is fine.
Let me know how she does, okay?
- Okay.
- Find anything?
Beside the usual incongruities
and Transgress.
- Lots of Damage and despair.
There's work to be done.
Luckily we have some time
for you today.
Steve believed the sourcer
should be sourced,
"so clarity is ensured."
- Hmm.
- Mm.
- What are you really
looking for?
- In life?
- By sourcing?
- We're being investigated
by the FBI.
They have someone working
for them among us,
at least that's what
Sarah and I believe.
- Why would the FBI
be investigating us?
- Religious discrimination.
We've done nothing wrong.
- Now that I know
what to listen for,
maybe I can help.
- Mm.
- Thanks, Richard.
Uh, it probably goes
without saying
we should keep this quiet
from the community.
- Of course.
- Well, I-I should, uh...
Yeah.
See you at the next session.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
- I almost forgot.
- You forgot?
- Well, I guess I just tried
not to remember.
- I've thought about being
back here so many times.
- Yeah.
- Are you seeing that girl
from the hospital?
- Yeah.
Are you and Cal?
- No.
We could never be together
like that.
I promise.
- I'm worried about you.
Hey.
The hospital helped.
- Did they put you
on medication?
- Yeah.
For anger and depression.
I just...
I just started seeing things
that weren't there.
- What kind of things?
Oh, my God.
Hey, what is that?
What?
- I got struck by lightning.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, it's not...
- Come on, it's... it's fine.
It just looks crazy.
The doctors looked at it.
It's okay.
It's fine.
Look, let's just...
Let's just be here.
All right?
I'm fine.
Let's just stay here.
- I just want to feel it.
- So what happened
with the IRS lady?
- We didn't get what we needed.
Extortion, blackmail.
We, uh, I made an error
in judgment,
and I think Lisa tipped off
the Meyerists.
And now they believe that
we have someone on the inside.
- Is that bad for us?
- No, actually, in fact,
it's a good thing.
I've been asked
to help find the mole.
Paranoia makes people
do stupid things.
We also learned...
that the corruption goes
a little bit further
than the leader.
It's the entire organization.
The Co-Guardian of The Light
is the one that coerced Lisa.
- Guardian of The Light?
- Who could believe this shit?
- Well, my wife believes
a son was born to a virgin.
- Yeah, that's 'cause that
actually happened.
- Right.
- How are you holding up?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Your family?
- This must be hard on them.
You know, it's, uh,
challenging, but, uh...
you know, we're okay.
Thanks for asking.
- What is it with guys like us?
What makes us so willing
to sacrifice everything?
Home, family.
Are we just so fucking noble?
- I don't think that it has
anything to do with nobility.
- What then?
- I just want to win.
- Me too.
Let's win this thing.
- Let's win this thing.
My intention
is to light a flame.
Because the America I live in
in devastated by poverty,
social neglect,
economic abandonment,
police brutality,
and mass incarceration.
That's why we all in here.
Because the system is designed
to take us down
and to keep us here.
How'd it go yesterday?
- Talked to Ms. DeKaan.
I don't know
if it'll do any good.
I'm out of my mind.
You put Sam Field on ES.
He's in the middle of 1R.
Yeah, he's, uh,
he's ex-military,
worked in security,
his sourcing came out clear.
It seems like, uh, you and Eddie
are quite
the united front again.
- You'd understand
if you had a kid.
- Yeah.
Steve said, uh, having children
compromised one's ability
to lead.
You know, you'd always be
tempted to put the greater good
of an individual
over the good of the whole.
- Steve was right.
- Was it emotional?
To see Eddie?
Uh, did it make you, uh,
feel for him?
- No.
- Not at all.
- All right, guys,
you want to make sure
that you check under everything.
Cabinets, doors,
it's never in the obvious place.
- I got something here.
- What is it?
- That looks like
a burner phone.
Shelby, is this yours?
- No.
- Could you run and get Cal
for me, please?
- I seriously don't know
whose phone that is.
- I've got a burner phone
with federal numbers on it.
- Shelby?
- It's not my phone, really.
- Are you sure?
- It's really not my phone.
I don't even know
what that kind of phone is.
- Hey.
Hey.
Hey, what...
What happened?
- It's nothing.
Where's Mom?
- Look, she, uh,
she had a meeting.
Hawk, listen to me.
I know... I let you down
with me leaving, but...
I want to make things right
with you, okay?
More than anything.
- How'd you guys get me out?
- Your mom and I talked
to Libby, and...
- Mom dropped the water.
- She had to.
- And now nothing will change
for those people.
- It is a losing battle, Hawk.
- What, so don't even fight?
- It is not your cause.
- It is The Movement's, okay?
Not yours.
- What if I wanted it
to be mine?
You should have let me
stay in there.
- Betty's at the end.
It was Marshall's favorite cow.
She couldn't even make it back
to her stall.
Shh.
It's all right.
Steady.
Steady.
That's good.
Steady.
- I'm so sorry, Marshall.
I'm afraid I have bad news.
Libby DeKaan
had my son arrested,
and I have to pull the funding
for the water testing.
I hate it so much, and...
- It's no problem.
I don't need
to have the water tested.
I know what's in
the fucking water.
That's not what
blood looks like.
That's poison.
- I want to apologize.
- I would ask that you stop your
campaign of false propaganda.
The stuff that DeKaan
puts in that water
isn't going to show up
on your average tests.
- Can you find it?
- Yeah, but it's not cheap.
I told the people of Clarksville
that I would test their water,
and now I need the funds
to do it.
- She blackmailed you.
- I can go to jail if I have to.
- I am not letting you
go to jail.
- I had other relationships.
- You're my wife,
and I am with you,
if you're with me... only me.
- The meds are going to help
ease the panic attacks,
dysphoria.
I spoke with a colleague
who gave me information
about a support group.
- My name is Eddie,
and I was in a cult.
- But I owe my life to Steve
and his work,
and I will find who hurt him.
- What if that man was Cal?
- There's someone among us?
I remember... I think
I was eight or nine,
Steve asked me what I thought
The Movement had most to fear.
"Ignorance," I answered.
"No," he replied.
"Complacency."
Our own complacency.
It's so easy to become fixated
on the rungs,
both the one you're on now,
and the one you're ascending to.
Always, always inside
your own head,
where you find you can think
of nothing but ascension.
It's a... it's a kind
of tunnel vision, so...
- Why are they doing this?
- Did you talk to Cal?
- I saw murder in his eyes.
I've seen that look
too many times.
I checked the travel records.
He was here when Steve died.
- So he didn't do it
with his bare hands.
Sarah asked me to come back.
She needed someone here
with Steve's interest at heart.
- Is what she's doing now
with Steve's interest at heart?
- There's always more space
to be filled with...
With all that The Light
has to give us.
And that is why we source.
Have a seat.
How are you today, Oliver?
- Good, sir.
- No need to call me sir.
Nothing to be nervous about,
really.
- Okay.
- Can you go ahead and place
your left hand, palm down,
on the clear page
in front of you?
- Like this?
- That's exactly right.
Do you understand
why you're here?
- I think so.
- Mm-hmm.
- Is it supposed to do this?
- We keep damage stored
inside of us.
It becomes chemicals.
When the right questions
are asked,
the chemicals mix
with our sweat.
The pink tells us
that you're holding back.
You need to uncover more,
so we can help you...
help yourself.
Can you state your name for me?
- My name is Eddie Lane.
Um... it's my second time here.
I've been out of my, uh...
I left my cult, um...
six months ago.
And it's been, uh,
it's been hard.
You know,
I've had panic attacks,
um... paranoia.
- We've all been there.
We call this the Anomie stage.
You're refocusing
from the group mind to the I.
You're asking who am I.
- Yeah, which has been...
- It's been hard.
'Cause I've spent the last,
God, almost 20 years
knowing what this
was all about, you know.
I was going to sleep
for what I was waking up for.
You know, I knew what
was going to happen when...
when I died.
Um, I knew how to raise my kids.
I, uh... I had my kids.
And the thing is,
I really thought
that I was freer
that I had even been.
You know, freer...
I thought I was freer
than the rest of the world.
But, you know,
now I see the truth.
It controlled me.
Are you free?
I don't think so.
Not yet.
Well, what controls you?
Pornography. Yeah, that
would definitely be my thing.
- It's all been like this.
- Run of the mill, sex stuff.
Before I came here,
I was watching it, like,
16 hours a day.
- I told you
there's been nothing.
If the FBI have someone
among us,
I haven't found them yet.
Sarah, um...
Lisa Jackson would have
told you anything
to get her tape back.
- Mm, you weren't there.
- She was telling the truth.
And it could be anyone.
- Guilt can be very powerful.
- Keep looking.
- This is just routine.
You can relax.
Oh, man.
So good we do this.
- I don't smoke anymore.
- I just... just in case.
- It's all good.
- This is why we source.
"To uncover that which
you hide from yourself."
It's beautiful.
Now you decide what to do.
You want to put it back
under the mattress,
or give over.
Completely.
Empty yourself,
so that you can be filled
with The Truth.
Yeah!
All right, girls, who's next?
Do you find
you can trust people?
No.
No?
- I'm ex-military.
- I worked in security for years.
Life experience has beaten
the trust out of me.
- Yeah.
So you, uh,
you know all the tactics then.
To deceive.
- That's my job.
It was my job.
Knowing what deception
looks like.
Decided to buck the
limitations of The Light, huh?
Chose free will.
Leadership over the "word."
- Let's just say
The Light provided.
We received a donation.
- We're very grateful.
- We've been having trouble
finding someone
to take on the testing.
- Well, I told Sarah here
I'd be glad to do it.
I love to stick it to the man
and God,
whoever I can
who thinks he's above me.
- I can offer you 25 grand.
I thought perhaps you'd like
to donate the extra cost
of your services
to the greater good.
- The kind of testing
you're asking for
is time-consuming
and expensive.
- The community's trying
to pull together extra funds.
If I get my friends
and neighbors
to throw in their last dimes,
how can we be sure you're gonna
find what's in the water?
- You believe there's something
in your water, Mr. Small?
- I know there's something
in our water.
What did he do?
- Hey, what's going on?
- I'm his mother.
- We have a warrant
for Hawk Lane.
- What for?
- Breaking and entering,
vandalism.
They'll explain the charges
after booking.
- Mom, is this...
- You need a lawyer
before you say anything.
- Okay, listen, I'm gonna be
right behind you, okay?
- Mom, what's going on?
- It's gonna be okay.
- Everything's ruined.
- The fridge is completely broken.
- Does he know?
Does Cal know the baby
could be his?
- I don't think so.
- I got called in
to source today.
How am I not going
to tell him everything?
- How am I not going to...
- You can't.
You have to keep everything
inside.
- But how?
- And why?
- Because we can use it.
Cal doesn't want anyone to know
something happened between us.
He doesn't want Sarah to know.
I love our life.
I love this house.
We can have more.
Just need to be careful.
- Hey, how's it going,
sweetheart?
- You can take the bottom bunk.
- Hi, I'm Hawk.
- He don't talk to us.
- 'Cause we're white.
- I'm Hawk.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hawk, that's like a bird,
Hawk.
You got a cool name.
You got big hair,
that's cool hair.
- So wh... what'd you do
to get in here?
- I'm just gonna read...
if that's okay.
- When can I see my son?
- As soon as his attorney
comes out.
- Hey, what the hell happened?
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
Our kid's locked up.
No, no, I want a real lawyer,
not your cult lawyer.
- So that's what you think now,
I'm in a cult?
- Sarah, this is bullshit, okay?
- This is our kid.
- Okay, I need you to stay calm.
Let me explain what's going on
because it isn't good.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- We're gonna get you
out of here.
- Why would Ms. DeKaan do this?
I apologized, she said she would
drop the charges.
- I brought the water in
to be tested.
- Oh, so you put The Movement
over your family.
- No big surprise.
- Stop it, Dad.
- I thought I did it
under the radar.
I have no idea
how she found out.
- I'm glad you stood up to her.
- No, you don't know
what you're talking about.
Hawk, you don't want to ruin
your life at 16.
- Why is he here?
- Because I am your father
and someone has to look out
for your best interest.
- I can look out
for my own best interest.
- Okay, let's settle down.
This is not a simple situation.
These charges are extreme.
Breaking and entering,
vandalism,
- assault with a deadly weapon.
- What weapon?
- And the worst of it is,
she somehow was able to pressure
the DA into slapping Hawk with
a domestic terrorism charge.
- What?
- It's a federal offense
with huge ramifications.
- What a nightmare.
- Terrorism?
- You have got to be kidding me.
- Falls under Eco-terrorism,
but it's treated the same
as any other kind of terrorism.
The last thing
The Movement needs...
- I don't care how this affects
The Movement.
I care how it affects my son.
- DeKaan has friends
and influence,
but she doesn't have The Light.
Oh, my God.
- I don't want to be
blackmailed.
It's okay.
I can do this.
- No, it is not okay, Hawk.
- So what happens now?
Can he come home
until the trial?
- He's being detained
until they set bail.
- When's that?
- We don't have a date yet.
They have 45 hours.
- I re-listened to our sourcing
session this morning,
and some of your prior
unburdening tapes.
Your baby died.
I'm sorry.
That must be the most brutal
thing in the world.
You have two other
young children.
- Yes.
- What... what if we could reunite
you with your family?
- Yes, yes, I'd...
- I'd like that.
- I think we can do that.
I-I think that
should be your goal,
your family back together,
part of our family.
- I have reason to believe
there may be someone among us
working for the FBI.
- No way.
- Here?
No, I-I don't see that.
- No.
I checked your references
in security, um...
You have a tremendous amount
of experience.
- Yeah.
- I-I'd like you
to help us out, Sam.
- Yes, of course.
- Good.
Good.
- Hi, um, Ms. DeKaan,
it's me, Sarah, calling again,
and, um, I am very, very sorry.
I know you are angry,
but I'm just asking you
to please
call me back.
I'm... I'm begging you, please.
Please just call me.
- I can't believe
she won't talk it out.
We should go to her house.
Russel and I
can drive over there.
- No, no, no, Carla said that'll
just make things worse.
- Hey, you know, kids...
- Guys!
- Kids, please, can you just
go upstairs to play?
- Upstairs, everyone.
- Russel, make them play upstairs.
I'm trying.
You okay, sweetie?
- Hey.
- You all right?
- Is Hawk in trouble because
we've been seeing a Denier?
- What Denier?
- He sees the kids, Mom.
At least he did.
You know, Hawk doesn't see him
anymore, but Summer does.
He's her father, Mom.
- What happened
to your brother...
- Gaby, go gentle.
- It has nothing to do
with you seeing your dad.
This will all be resolved
very soon.
And your big brother will be
back in his room
where he belongs, okay?
Okay?
- Hey, come here.
- I'm sorry, I have to unburden.
Russel never goes against
the word,
follows all the rules, and she's
the Guardian of the Light?
- Have some compassion, sweetie.
- And keep your mouth shut.
- Russel, I want to go home.
Now.
- That was good of you...
- the Summer part.
- Well, you would think
it was good
because you're guilty
of the same thing Sarah is.
- Gaby, you've been accusing me
of that for years.
- It's just not true.
- Just unburden.
- I'm not the one
who needs to unburden.
I know why Kodiak
went to Siberia.
- To escape persecution.
- It had nothing to do with me.
- He wanted to get over you.
- He got caught
dealing marijuana.
I'm not having
this conversation.
- I need to because having him
here is throwing me off.
- I'm with you, Hank.
You...
I always have been.
Don't let your fears
send you down that road again.
- Gab...
- Don't lie. Just don't.
Don't backpedal.
I am with you.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Cal.
- I came as soon as I heard
Hawk was in trouble.
- Why didn't you call me?
- Look, I am so scared.
I've called Libby DeKaan
a thousand times,
and I'm really afraid
I messed up.
- No, no, no, no, you did not.
You had no way of knowing
Ms. DeKaan was this kind
of a monster.
- She's poisoning
an entire community.
Of course I should have known.
- We will deal with this.
Get in the car, Sarah.
We're talking to Libby.
- Look, I've called her,
all right?
She won't pick up.
- Eddie, we will take care
of this.
- This is a family matter, Cal.
Sarah, just get in the car.
We're gonna go help Hawk.
- Tell me what you need
me to do, all right?
I want to help you
take care of this.
- I can have him taken away
from you, Sarah.
Legally.
This happened on your watch.
Any court of law would agree.
- No, he's wrong, Sarah.
- I have to.
Do you know everything
you need to know?
First thing that
pops into your mind.
Even if you don't understand
the question.
- I know more...
than I should know.
- All right, how so?
- I know things I shouldn't.
Like I know that becoming
a father is making me...
feel different.
- Different?
- Well, in "The Ladder"
it says that
family is important,
"if the individual family
in our communities are working,
then our larger family
is working."
- I'm... I'm not sure I'm, uh,
I'm following you.
- Now that I'm becoming
a father,
I have needs
for my individual family.
Things me and Mary
and the baby need.
- Like?
- A new refrigerator
for the guest house.
Ours is broken, and it's small.
We need
a full-sized refrigerator.
- Well, I-I think
that'll do, uh, Sean, yeah.
Thank you for coming in.
We are not free.
Even when they unlock the door
to this prison,
we are still prisoners.
506 deaths in Chicago last year,
96% brown people.
Want to know how many died
on Memorial weekend this year?
63.
63 people on the South Side,
brown people,
youngest was 16.
A young girl sitting in the car
next to her boyfriend.
We have a visitor.
- Is it okay if I listen?
- What's your book say about it?
Your little Ladder book.
Yeah, I did my research.
What's your book got to say
about what's happening
in America?
- It was written
in the '70s, so...
- And you think all this shit
wasn't happening in the '70s?
White man who wrote your book
left it all out, didn't he?
- No.
Doc acknowledged that
we were destroying ourselves
with violence and pollution.
He didn't, but the...
The Light did,
and then The Light gave him the
message, and he wrote it down.
- The Light?
- Everyone is equal
in our Movement.
- Equal in your Movement,
but better than everyone else
in the world?
Did the guy who wrote your book
write it that way
so you had an excuse
to turn a blind eye?
- I'm in here because I stood up
for people
outside of our Movement.
People whose water
was being poisoned.
- And you'll be out of this
prison in two days tops,
and not because
of your book there.
Because that's the way
the system works.
You may think
you're not a cog in it,
but you are.
- Do you have a plan, Eddie?
Or are we just gonna sit here
all day?
- We're gonna sit here until
she comes out of the building.
And then we're gonna
talk to her.
- I don't know what you're gonna
say, she's a tough woman.
- No way, that's not...
- That's her.
- Excuse me, Ms. DeKaan.
Uh, hi, my name is Eddie Lane.
I'm Hawk Lane's father.
- Yes, I was very upfront
with your wife,
and she refused my generosity.
- So now you're gonna throw
our son in jail for terrorism?
What are you?
We will stop everything.
I will withdraw the testing.
I am begging you.
You'll never see us ever again.
- Hey, I know my wife put you
in a complicated position,
but I don't think you want
anything else
on your conscience.
It must be so painful that
your own son won't talk to you.
- Who the fuck do you think
you are?
I will crush you.
- But he wants
to talk to you now.
Hey, Brendon, here she is.
- You called my fucking son?
You're sick.
You're sick.
Brendon?
Hello?
Honey?
How are you?
Of course.
You're sadistic.
- You know, it's already hard
enough to sleep at night.
Locking our kid away
isn't gonna make it easier.
- How did you know...
- about the son?
- Uh, Google.
I just, you know,
did a bunch of research and...
I read that she had a kid.
They got in this
big public disagreement.
Now they don't talk.
You know, I just kept thinking
to myself that...
I would do anything
to get Hawk
to want to talk to me again.
Hopefully Libby feels
the same way about her kid.
- I am so sorry, Eddie.
You know,
if I have done anything...
to sabotage Hawk's future, I...
will never forgive myself.
And Summer...
- now she's so confused.
- How is she confused?
- About... about why
this is happening.
You know, I...
She's confused.
I'm confused.
- Hey, we are not going to let
anything bad happen to Hawk.
- But it's out of our hands.
- All this praying
and looking to The Light,
it's not gonna help us.
- Hey.
You are strong, okay.
And we are going
to get through this.
- Cal.
- I won't be blackmailed.
- Yes, you will.
- Is... is the baby mine?
Or could he be mine?
- Yes.
- What, he's mine,
or he could be mine?
- I don't know.
That's the truth.
But it could be yours.
- Big breath out for me.
- Well, I cannot find
anything wrong.
- Really?
'Cause, you know, my heart
all of a sudden
will just start beating fast.
- Well, you can go into town
for an EKG to be sure.
But you know what I think?
- What's that?
- All that work you're doing
in 1R is bringing stuff up,
and that stuff can hurt.
- Sam, you okay?
- Hey, yeah.
- Seems so.
Well, Shelby couldn't find
anything.
- Oh, whew.
- Yeah.
I just got this little flutter
in my heart.
It's been kind of
freaking me out.
- I think this one
has pink eye again.
Come on back, sweetie.
Let me check.
- Listen, I heard about
your nephew getting locked up
by DeKaan.
- I'm really sorry to hear that.
- It's truly awful.
Okay, what?
- Nothing, it's just...
Between us, of course.
- Of course.
- I just found out that Sarah
lets the kids see their father.
- Oh, Eddie.
- It doesn't take a psychology
degree to know that's why Hawk
acted out in the first place.
- Yeah.
- You can't lead a double life
and think it's not
gonna mess with your kids.
What?
Sam?
I'm sure Layla is fine.
Let me know how she does, okay?
- Okay.
- Find anything?
Beside the usual incongruities
and Transgress.
- Lots of Damage and despair.
There's work to be done.
Luckily we have some time
for you today.
Steve believed the sourcer
should be sourced,
"so clarity is ensured."
- Hmm.
- Mm.
- What are you really
looking for?
- In life?
- By sourcing?
- We're being investigated
by the FBI.
They have someone working
for them among us,
at least that's what
Sarah and I believe.
- Why would the FBI
be investigating us?
- Religious discrimination.
We've done nothing wrong.
- Now that I know
what to listen for,
maybe I can help.
- Mm.
- Thanks, Richard.
Uh, it probably goes
without saying
we should keep this quiet
from the community.
- Of course.
- Well, I-I should, uh...
Yeah.
See you at the next session.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
- I almost forgot.
- You forgot?
- Well, I guess I just tried
not to remember.
- I've thought about being
back here so many times.
- Yeah.
- Are you seeing that girl
from the hospital?
- Yeah.
Are you and Cal?
- No.
We could never be together
like that.
I promise.
- I'm worried about you.
Hey.
The hospital helped.
- Did they put you
on medication?
- Yeah.
For anger and depression.
I just...
I just started seeing things
that weren't there.
- What kind of things?
Oh, my God.
Hey, what is that?
What?
- I got struck by lightning.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, it's not...
- Come on, it's... it's fine.
It just looks crazy.
The doctors looked at it.
It's okay.
It's fine.
Look, let's just...
Let's just be here.
All right?
I'm fine.
Let's just stay here.
- I just want to feel it.
- So what happened
with the IRS lady?
- We didn't get what we needed.
Extortion, blackmail.
We, uh, I made an error
in judgment,
and I think Lisa tipped off
the Meyerists.
And now they believe that
we have someone on the inside.
- Is that bad for us?
- No, actually, in fact,
it's a good thing.
I've been asked
to help find the mole.
Paranoia makes people
do stupid things.
We also learned...
that the corruption goes
a little bit further
than the leader.
It's the entire organization.
The Co-Guardian of The Light
is the one that coerced Lisa.
- Guardian of The Light?
- Who could believe this shit?
- Well, my wife believes
a son was born to a virgin.
- Yeah, that's 'cause that
actually happened.
- Right.
- How are you holding up?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Your family?
- This must be hard on them.
You know, it's, uh,
challenging, but, uh...
you know, we're okay.
Thanks for asking.
- What is it with guys like us?
What makes us so willing
to sacrifice everything?
Home, family.
Are we just so fucking noble?
- I don't think that it has
anything to do with nobility.
- What then?
- I just want to win.
- Me too.
Let's win this thing.
- Let's win this thing.
My intention
is to light a flame.
Because the America I live in
in devastated by poverty,
social neglect,
economic abandonment,
police brutality,
and mass incarceration.
That's why we all in here.
Because the system is designed
to take us down
and to keep us here.
How'd it go yesterday?
- Talked to Ms. DeKaan.
I don't know
if it'll do any good.
I'm out of my mind.
You put Sam Field on ES.
He's in the middle of 1R.
Yeah, he's, uh,
he's ex-military,
worked in security,
his sourcing came out clear.
It seems like, uh, you and Eddie
are quite
the united front again.
- You'd understand
if you had a kid.
- Yeah.
Steve said, uh, having children
compromised one's ability
to lead.
You know, you'd always be
tempted to put the greater good
of an individual
over the good of the whole.
- Steve was right.
- Was it emotional?
To see Eddie?
Uh, did it make you, uh,
feel for him?
- No.
- Not at all.
- All right, guys,
you want to make sure
that you check under everything.
Cabinets, doors,
it's never in the obvious place.
- I got something here.
- What is it?
- That looks like
a burner phone.
Shelby, is this yours?
- No.
- Could you run and get Cal
for me, please?
- I seriously don't know
whose phone that is.
- I've got a burner phone
with federal numbers on it.
- Shelby?
- It's not my phone, really.
- Are you sure?
- It's really not my phone.
I don't even know
what that kind of phone is.
- Hey.
Hey.
Hey, what...
What happened?
- It's nothing.
Where's Mom?
- Look, she, uh,
she had a meeting.
Hawk, listen to me.
I know... I let you down
with me leaving, but...
I want to make things right
with you, okay?
More than anything.
- How'd you guys get me out?
- Your mom and I talked
to Libby, and...
- Mom dropped the water.
- She had to.
- And now nothing will change
for those people.
- It is a losing battle, Hawk.
- What, so don't even fight?
- It is not your cause.
- It is The Movement's, okay?
Not yours.
- What if I wanted it
to be mine?
You should have let me
stay in there.
- Betty's at the end.
It was Marshall's favorite cow.
She couldn't even make it back
to her stall.

Steady.
Steady.
That's good.
Steady.

I'm afraid I have bad news.
Libby DeKaan
had my son arrested,
and I have to pull the funding
for the water testing.
I hate it so much, and...

I don't need
to have the water tested.
I know what's in
the fucking water.
That's not what
blood looks like.
That's poison.
