The Path (2016–2018): Season 3, Episode 2 - A Beast, No More - full transcript

? Previously, on "The Path"...

Why did you leave right
after the explosion?

Eddie wasn't gonna kick you out.

? I couldn't stick around and
play second fiddle to God.

? That workshop, if I didn't
take it in,

I'd be so fucked.
? Well, you did take it

and you have me now,
24 hours service.

? Saul, book his ticket
for the graduation.

? It says here your father
is the pastor

of the biggest church
in Westchester.

? Yeah. ? Why apply to use



our interfaith space?
? I'm looking

to kind of individuate
from my dad

and his word. ? Vera Stephens.

? The publicist. ? I see you

on the cover of
"The Sunday Times Magazine."

The new face of faith.

? I have decided to take down

the guard booth.
? Something tried to break in

last night.
? What are you gonna do about

whatever it is that did this?

Every morning
I wake up, the first thing

that I see is Mark Fuller
taking his life in my foyer.

Do you know anything
about the HC?

? Hello? Hey, who's out there?



Just come out.

Source of light.

I need your strength.

Righteous and good.

Shine through me.

Make me a vessel.

So that I may bring strength,

hope and guidance

to all of those in your embrace.

If darkness falls,
make me a light.

When darkness falls,

make me a light.

There's something special
about Eddie.

There's a real confidence in
him without arrogance.

It's a humble, sincere
kind of leadership

and people really respond to it.

I think he has
tremendous potential.

? And he's still married, right?

? Separated, but technically.

? What about you and Julian?

? What about us?

? Are you still intimate
with each other?

? Mom, does this have
to be the conversation

we have right now?
? There is no judgment.

Expend that sex drive?? ? Okay.

? While you still have it.
? Thank you, Mom.

? But, I mean, we have worked
hard for our autonomy.

? I know.
? Emotional attachments,

they don't go well for you,
do they?

? Did you ever call
Dr. Michaels for that eye pain?

? I don't need Dr. Michaels

with his arrogance
and his chemicals.

I've got my own methods.

? Do you still see the spots?

? Rarely. Almost never.

? That is not good enough.

I've looked this up
and it could be very serious

and I've told you that.
? And I know

when it's time to worry.
? Ma, there are limits.

There are limits
even to autonomy.

There has to be. ? Shh.

Poor little thing.

May your pain and suffering
be transcended.

? Transcended, becoming life
and strength for another.

For many, we are one.

?

? Morning, Mom.

? Morning.

? You slept in. ? I did.

I guess I needed it?

? Mom?

What are you doing?

? I think it's time for someone
to come fix this.

? But this is where the man
came and spread his damage.

I thought it was important
to keep as a reminder.

? Yeah, but it's been
offset, now.

? How?

? Through prayer and ritual,
as we always do.

We can make this space
whole again.

? You all right there, buddy?

? Yeah, fine.

? Can't thank you enough, man.

If I hadn't shown up
for that graduation,

my kids would've hated me.

And I would've hated myself.

? It's all right. It's my job.

? But you saved me.

? You did that.

Say it.

? I did that.

? Good.

Go get some rest
and I'll see you

at the big opening, all right?

? Hey. How was the trip?

Did you meet the ex?wife? ?.

What about the twins?

Did you meet them?
I'm dying to know.

? Yeah, yeah.
They were fine, um??.

Yeah, it was all fine.

? Right.

Are you okay?

Did something happen
on the trip?

Was Harold drinking again?
I mean, did he get violent?

? No. No, no, no.

He was a??he was a good boy.

Did as he was told.

? Well, then what is it,
'cause, um??

I don't know, you're being...

weird.

? ?

? Um??.

I just, um??.

I just missed you.

? You did?

So the woman turns to me
and said,

"You saw The Lights.

Can you make me see it?"

And I said, "No, I can't.
I can't make you see it."

I can't make anyone
see The Light."

I can't make anyone

believe.

Maybe not the best thing
for someone

who's running a religious
movement to say.

I mean, right?
Definitely not what

priests I grew up with said.

I'm here to share with you
my experience.

Help guide you on your
own journey

to Light, to transcendence.

Get off me!

I'm not going anywhere with you!

? Excuse me a sec.

? You're going??
? Stop it. Just leave me alone.

You can't do this. You can't
come and yank me out of here.

? You don't tell us what to do.
? You have no right!

? Hey, hey, hey, hey.
? We say you're leaving now!

? Sweetheart, please.
Mommy and Daddy love you.

Come home.
? Sir, ma'am, can we help you?

? We won't let you
waste your life here.

? What life? I didn't have
a life before.

Those were your dreams.
I was dying!

? Sweetheart, please.
I'm so sorry.

We'll do anything,
just come back home.

? Stop begging her!
She is our child.

? I'm 19! I'm a grown woman!

? Sir??sir, I need you
to calm down.

All right?
This is a peaceful place.

? Get the fuck out of my way!

? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Stop, stop, stop.

No need to hurt anyone,
all right?

Let him go. It's fine,
it's fine.

My name is Eddie Lane,
and I'm in charge here.

Okay? I think we just need
to take a deep breath,

find a quiet place to talk.

I think cooler heads
are in order. All right?

? So you're the leader?

What do you do?

Do you drug them?

Do you rape them? ? Daddy, stop!

? None of that
is happening here.

? Do you use them for
your child sex slaves?

? Sir? ? No one is hurting

your daughter, I promise.

? You lying piece of shit!
? Hey, sir!

? Get him out of here.
Get him out of here.

? Monica! Come on, Monica!
? Please, come home!

? Let me go! ?

? The show's over, okay?

Have some respect.

? Hey.

? Hey, what are you
doing down here?

? I have a meeting with Vera.

? Yeah, it's nice
to see you too.

? I'm sorry, it's just??
a lot going on today.

It's good to see you here.
Really.

? Do you still plan on going
to Summer's

parent?teacher night?
? Yeah, of course.

Should we just meet there, or?
? No, no, no.

Meet??meet us at my place.

We'll go together.

I think it'll be better
for Summer.

? Okay.

? As you know, things are
changing around here

under Eddie's leadership.

New projects, new approaches.

? Change is always a good thing.

You know, ever evolving.

? Well, I'm glad you think so

because there's one project
in particular

that I'd love for you
to be involved in.

That??that is if you're
feeling up to it.

I know things haven't been easy
for you since the tragedy.

? I??I'm feeling much better,
actually.

? Great.

So as you know,
I've been tasked with outreach.

And one group we're
particularly interested in

is millennials. ? Okay.

? Yeah, our research shows
they respond really well

to messaging around wellness.

So we're sending out
groups of Novices

out to several college campuses

with these.

? I'm sorry. What are those?

? These are wellness packs.

Well, think of it as.

Meyerism?to?go.

? Are you kidding me with that?

? I'm sorry. ? Those juices

are part of a sacred ritual.

I mean, what now?
We're pushing them

as some sort of diet trend?

? It's just a way in, you know?

Foot in the door for potentials.

? Possibles.

Does Eddie know about this?
'Cause I find it

very hard to believe that
he would sign off

on something so...

Unconventional.

? Look, I??I understand
this is different for you.

You know, taking orders
instead of giving them.

But that didn't go very well
for you, did it, Sarah?

? Hey. ? Hi.

Sweetie. ? Hi, Mom.

Sorry, I just need to tell Vera

that Dad??Eddie??
when you have a minute,

there's a situation.
? What situation?

Okay.

Well, I'll let you
handle the situation.

And I will handle the juice.

? Forest is a sweetheart.

He shouldn't give you
any trouble.

? Forest is such a cute name.

Totally putting it on my list.

? Just out of curiosity,

how old are you? ? 16.

But I have, like,
eight younger siblings.

Half and step and stuff, so,
I'm super experienced

with babies.

? Okay, well, um,
we won't be too long.

? No. Take your time.

You guys have wireless
in here, right?

? Yeah.

It's over there.

Cal?

We should go.

Honey?

Cal.

Cal?

Get out of here.

Cal, what are you
doing in there?

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Come out, now, please.

Cal?

Cal?

? What happened in Boston?

You're gonna have to
tell me what's going on.

? What? No. Nothing happened.
I just??.

I??um??

I didn't??I didn't hear you,
you just, ??.

You scared me so I just need??

I need a minute to get ready.
? Okay, well,

if you can't do it today??
? No! No!

I??I can do it. I am doing it.

Okay.

? We need to get out
ahead of this.

They may seem like some nice
immigrant family

caring about their own,
but you never know

what people are capable of.
? They are hurt.

They're just concerned
for their child.

? We need to make sure
the Rodrigo family

know who they're dealing with.
? You sound like a gangster.

? Well, don't let
the nice clothes

or the good manners fool you.

I can play dirty if I want to. ?

? I was raised by a single mom

who fought tooth and nail
to give me

the best possible education
from nothing.

I saw that sometimes you have
to let people know

what you're made of.
? Look, you don't need

to give me the tough times
speech, okay?

I appreciate that you had
to struggle,

but I will deal with this
the way I see fit.

Look, it is one thing to be
accused of being a cult leader.

It is another thing
to act like one.

? You've barely recovered
from pulling down security

and the slaughtered rabbits. ?.

The community has been restored.

Okay? People are feeling safe.

Sleeping soundly.

? Are you?

'Cause to me, it doesn't look
like you've slept in days.

And I know that
you're out at night,

pacing the compound like your
own private watch dog.

Okay, I??I don't fault you

for wanting to be the good cop.

As long as you let me
be the bad cop

because that's what
I'm here for.

? I need to do this my way.

? I'm so sorry about my parents.

They are just clueless
and thoughtless.

They have no respect.
? Look, Monica, I??

I didn't come here
for an apology.

? My God. You're not

kicking me out for this,
are you?

Please don't.
? That's not the way

to look at it. ? You are.

You're kicking me out.

? Under my leadership,
it is a priority

that no one loses connection
with their families.

That no one feels isolated.

That no one feels trapped.

? They are the ones
who trapped me

in their prison of a house.

They made me quit anything
I ever cared about.

They're just all just chasing
money and success.

My dad's stupid fantasy
of the American dream.

? Look, you can't be here
just to spite your father.

You will never find peace
in your life

until you find peace with him.

? But he is not
my father anymore.

You are.

You are the only father I want.

You are the only father I need.

? Look, get up.

Get up!

You have to pack your bags

and you have to go.

All right. Hello.

Now, listen, I could quote you

lots of facts about exercise

and its, life?lengthening,
spine?strengthening,

mood?stabilizing benefits.

But what's the point?

But really??.

Yeah, ??.

Um, I??no??I??

"I do not know why yet
I live to say,"

"'This thing's to do.'"

"Sith, I have cause
and will and strength"

"and means to do it."

Yeah. That's Shakespeare.

Um, that's Hamlet, actually.

He's??yeah, he's talking about

why he can't get off his ass

and murder his traitorous uncle,

not about blasting his core,
but, ??

I think the quote applies.

Um...

I don't want you to think
about what Cross Blast

can do for your body.

I want you to think
about what it can symbolize.

Okay?

If you can get here
consistently,

if you can set a goal
and stick to it??

yeah, that is the point.

The point is to say,
I did this thing.

All right? I lifted
that massive weight.

I??I held that
excruciating plank

longer than I thought
I could bear it.

So now, what else can I do?

Right? Maybe I can??
I can ask for that raise.

Or??or tell that asshole on
the bus to close his legs

so I can have a seat.

Or maybe I can finally tell

that beautiful girl
how I really feel about her.

This gym isn't the destination.

It is a stop on the road
to your real challenges.

Your real goals.

Thank you. Please, please,
please, please.

Monica chose The Light.

You can't just throw her
out on the street

because Vera thinks
she's a liability,

or whatever.
? This is my decision

and my decision alone. ?.

Well, Monica is devastated.

She is in her room, sobbing,
saying how

she can't believe
she has to leave.

? Look, it is a complicated
situation.

Unfortunately, it is best for us

not to put ourselves
in the middle of it.

? Do you have any idea

how much
the Novices believe in you?

? You made magic happen.

A miracle before their eyes

and now because of
one angry father

you're just gonna back down.

? Look, it is not that simple.

You cannot imagine the pressure
that I am under,

being in charge of
all of these young people.

? I am one of them!

I am their youth leader.

I understand how they feel.

You can't just kick people out
'cause they??

? How about how I felt
when you shunned me?

I'm not doing that
to another family.

Never.

? That's not your choice to
make for other people.

You made a commitment
to be our father.

That means you listen
to what we need.

? Okay. ? God, you are so busy

trying not to be a cult leader,
you're not

being a leader at all.
? Hey! Knock it off.

Okay? You don't get
a free pass around here

because you're my kid.

Show some fucking respect.

Hawk, I'm not done with you.

Hawk!

? Blink twice if they're
holding you against your will.

? I'm sorry?
? I was just checking.

You never know with these cults.

? We're not a cult.

We're a religious movement.

? I see.

Limited time offer on classes,

recruitment of young adults
and adolescents,

throw in a charismatic
father?figure.

I'd say we've got
the cult trifectas.

? What makes you such an expert?

? My doctorate in
new American religions,

for one thing.

Look, I haven't actually
studied this, ??

? Meyerist Movement.
? Right, specifically.

But I'm well aware of how

these types
of fringe faiths work.

You don't have to give me
the whole spiel.

? Well, don't let
the actual facts

get in the way
of a good snap judgment.

? It's not a snap??it??

I've spent years studying??

? Other faiths.
You know nothing about ours.

? So what's with the juice?

'Cause I mean, you gotta admit,
this is pretty culty.

? It's part of our
sacred tradition.

? ? ? And it's, you know,

delicious.

And mostly cyanide free. ?.

I have to admit that most of

the devout people I meet

don't really have a??
? What? A sense of humor?

? I wasn't gonna put it that
way, but yeah.

Here. In case you wanna
talk some more.

? Yeah, I don't.
? No, about your religion.

My life's work is studying
new American faiths.

I could really use
a fresh perspective.

Here, in case you??

? Is that Monica?

? I'm so happy you're back.

? Hey, Dad.
? Hey, there's my big girl.

My gosh.

I am sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm so pumped
to meet your teachers.

They're gonna say
such amazing things.

? Yeah, if you talk
to my English teacher.

Math, kind of a different story.

? We should get going.
You're, ??

? I know, I'm sorry.

? We said 5:00.
? Look, work is just

a little crazy at the moment.

? Dad's here now.
That's what matters.

? Yeah.
? You guys are gonna love

my social studies classroom.

We have this
awesome smart board.

? All right.
Put on your seatbelt.

All right, come on, guys.

? Mr. Lane, can we speak
to you for a minute?

? Actually, we're running
a little behind, so...

? Yeah, we need to
speak to you now.

We're really sorry,
but we have the other families

to think about.

We think that it would be best

if your whole family
would stay away

at this time.

?

? It's okay.

? She gonna fall asleep okay? ?

yeah, she was sad to miss it.

You know, they had this music
presentation prepared.

I mean, she'd practiced
all week.

? It's just so infuriating.

Makes me sick.
? I know, but she gets

that it's the outside world
targeting us.

She's been there before,
you know?

She's an amazing kid.
? No, it's one thing

to target us.

But to go after our daughter?

? Hey, isn't that what
they think we did?

I mean, their daughter dropped
out of NYU business school.

They probably saved
every penny to get her there.

And then she joins??.

God knows what
we look like to them.

They probably think
they're never gonna

see her again.
? I asked her to leave.

And then I said she could stay.

I mean, this would not
have happened??

? No, it would've happened
eventually.

I mean, Novices don't
wanna be half in.

They want to be all in.

Remember? That's how we were.

Devoted to the light
with every fiber

of our beings.

And we just have to hope

it doesn't get uglier
with her parents

and their campaign against you.

? Hey, I will talk to Vera
about this.

What?

? Nothing.

? Say it.

Sarah, what?

You know, it just??

it feels like you're putting
an awful lot of faith in Vera

to help you.

I mean, since when does an IS
know more than we do?

? Well, we don't use the term
IS anymore.

It's Future Possible.

And things are changing

and Vera is a part of that.

Look, she understands
the mindset

of the outside world.

Okay, and she uses that

to help us communicate.

To grow. ? She's marketing

our sacred cleanse, Eddie.

I'm??I am sorry, but you know
what needs marketing?

Snake oil.

The truth shouldn't need spin.

And this doesn't feel
just like change.

It feels like it's the
beginning of the end.

? Look, if you are
threatened by Vera,

you really shouldn't be.

? Is that what
you think this is?

Is that I'm jealous?
? She may not be

a believer in the faith,

but she is a believer in me.

? I want you to succeed.

I really, really do.
? And I will.

Look, Vera doesn't
make decisions.

I do because I was chosen to.

? Yes, you were.

Good night.

I will have Summer

call you in the morning.

? I see you got
the window fixed.

? I guess I'm ready
for some change too.

Bye.

? You guys don't have to
stop talking

just because of me.

I know about the flyers.

? I'm so sorry, Hawk.

I knew my parents were assholes,

but I had no idea
how far they'd go.

? It's okay.

So does anyone wanna tell me
what's going on?

? Yeah, sure.

We are being exposed
to each other.

With a little interfaith
fellowship.

? And beer.

? You guys drink. ? Yeah.

You have a lot to learn
about us.

? Yeah.

I guess we do.

? You know, people think
it's easy

being the son of the chosen one.

They have no idea.

? Right, your dad's
the head of your church, so...

? Yeah, yeah.

And all his followers
think he's God.

And all his enemies
think he's the devil.

? What do you think he is?

? Both.

Neither.

Depends on the situation.

? Well, my dad's a??

he's a good person.

? Yeah, so is mine.

But he changed, you know?

Yeah, but at least you have
this big city

to disappear into when you want.

? Yeah.

? It's much more of
a broad?minded place

than in the 'burbs,
you know what I mean?

? Whoo! This is my jam!

We have to dance.

You guys are allowed
to dance, right?

? Hell yes. ? Well then come on.

? You were awesome.
? Hey, you were awesome.

? Cheers. ? My agent's got me

opening up big and tall men's
clothing stores.

It's God damn humiliating.

I need to get into
that gym thing, bro.

It's just way classier.
? It's just the beginning.

We're opening
all these branches.

Miami, Palm Beach.

And I get a percent just for
letting them use my name.

?You broke out the rings?

? Thanks to Cal, here, I lost
enough weight in my fingers

I can finally get
the damn things on again.

? Courtesy of
some fans of yours.

I'm gonna pass.

? I still got it.
? You don't have shit.

It's clearly intended for me.
? Thank you.

? You won't let that man
have one little shot?

? Well??
? My trainer lets me drink

as much tequila as I like,

as long as it's got
no sugar in it.

It's the sugar that kills you.

? Yeah, yeah. I'm not a trainer.

I'm a wellness consultant.

? What the fuck is that?

? ? I think he puts crystals

up his ass.

? Come on, guys.

? Look, I'll be right back.
Okay?

? Not too long.
? I know. I'll be right back.

? What is that about?
? Yo, what's up with your boy?

? New man.

Hello?

? I'm??I'm sorry to??

I needed to talk to you.

I don't want to bother you.

It's just that I don't have
anyone else who I can...

who I can really
tell the truth to.

About how I'm feeling,
about how fucked up

everything is here
under Eddie's watch.

? Eddie's the savior.

He's the man with
the magic touch.

? He's selling our juices
as fasts,

like, as if they're
diet cleanses, you know?

And people are loving it.

But is this what it's all for?

Everything that
we have sacrificed

for some shallow, easy,
self?help crap.

He??.

We're going in
the wrong direction.

And I'm afraid...

if we don't stop,
we're gonna lose it all.

Yeah, the meaningful life
and our connection

to the eternal and I feel it
all slipping away.

When you bound me
and you took away my breath,

I felt it.

What Steve meant
when he talked about contact

with the Infinite Spirit.

And I want to feel that again.

Make me feel that again.

You're the only one who can.

? No, no. I??I??

I can never do that again,
Sarah.

Whatever you're seeking,
you have to look for

somewhere else, okay?

All right.

All right.

? It would be a little tacky
of me to say I told you so.

? Jesus.

They're putting up
billboards now.

How many?
? Two downtown at the center

and one by the subway station.

These are not cheap ad buys.

This family means business.

I have contacts at City Hall

that will take
these billboards down

right away, but I don't think

the family's gonna stop here.

? I mean, they are not
rich people.

? Exactly.

Which makes you wonder
what else they'll do??

how far they'll go
to hurt the Movement,

even your family.

And they know where Summer
goes to school.

? All right. Handle it.

? Fuck!

Hawk, God, you scared me.

? Sorry.
? What are you doing here?

? I needed to talk to you.

? What's going on?

Were you drinking?

? I didn't drive, all right?
I took the bus, I walked.

I needed to see you.

This??this whole situation

with Monica

and her family and all
the awful things

that they said about you

and us and?? ? Hawk, hey.

It comes with the territory.
It's okay

? I know, but I can't help
but think that it was my fault.

I mean, I'm the one
who told you??

? I don't want you
to worry about that.

Okay? It's not your job.

We're handling it. ? All right.

But...

how...

are we handling it?

I mean??.

What are you going to do
to her family?

? Vera is having a lawyer
write a letter.

That's all. Okay? We don't
bully or hurt anyone.

? Good, yeah.

Yeah, I know.

I just needed to hear it.

You're??

you're a good dad.

To all of us.

You are. I mean??

? You're pretty drunk?

? The??the Christians.
? The Christians, yeah.

? They had??they had a party.

It's called fellowship, ??.

It's pretty much just beer.

? I, um??

I'm sorry.
I should've known better.

I'm supposed to
be responsible now,

? Stop. Hey.

You're doing great work
at the center.

But you're still a kid.

It's fine.

All right. I was just about
to do my nightly prayer.

? Right.

? No, no.

You wanna join me?

Source of light,

we need your strength,
righteous and good.

Shine through us.

Make us a vessel

so that we may bring hope,

strength and comfort

to all of those in your embrace.

If darkness falls??

? Make me a light.

? When darkness falls.

? Make me a light.

? Coming!

? Are you Bonoy Garica?

? Who the hell are you?

? Okay, I'll ask you again.

Are you Bonoy Garica?

? No.

? Good.

Because Bonoy Garcia
has an outstanding warrant

for failing to appear in court

on a suspended license charge.

And he also doesn't
have a green card.

So if you happen to know him

you might wanna
give him a message.

? He is my brother.

? That's right.
I see the resemblance.

I have friends who work at ICE

and these days, deporting
undocumented people

with criminal records
is??it's a big priority.

? What do you want?

? End your campaign
against the Meyerist Movement.

Or I'll get very loud.

Your daughter wants her freedom.

And as a natural?born
American citizen,

she's entitled to it.

As painful as it is,

we have to let our children go.

? Is something like
Southern Baptism

a fundamentalist kind
of cult and??hey.

? I didn't know you were??
? Hey, hello there.

? In class here.
I should just come back.

? No, no, no.
Please, don't be shy.

Come in, come in.
This is??my upper?level

seminar meeting in the office.
? I didn't mean to barge in.

? Not at all. No, introduce
yourself, please.

? Hi.

I'm Sarah Lane.

I'm with the Meyerist Movement.

Your teacher??professor
asked me to come in here

and discuss my beliefs.

But I didn't expect
a crowd, so??

? Don't??it's not a problem.
Please, stay.

Can you give her??thank you.

Please, have a seat. The class

is called The American Religion:

Cults and fringe faiths
since the turn of the century.

So we've had the opportunity
to speak

to some former Haredim,

some former
Seventh?Day Adventists,

former Scientologists. ? ?well,

I'm a Meyerist.

An active one??devout, even.

? Well, okay.

That's a new one.

? You're saying everyone that
you've talked to

has left their faith?
? Yep, pretty much.

Most people do.

Once they put it
to some scrutiny.

? Okay, then.

Well, I'm here.

Ask me anything.

Rake me over the coals.

? Anybody?

? Are you an apocalyptic faith?

Do you believe
the end of the world is coming?

? Well, it is.

We all know that, right?

I mean, we acknowledge
that the actions of man??

global warming, the pollution
of air and water??

it's all bringing on
environmental destruction.

I mean, every sane person
knows that, right?

? But you believe that
your faith will save you.

Isn't that right? ? Well, yes.

? So where do you go?
When the rest of us perish

in pollution, flooding, fire.

Is it an ark? A cloud?

? A Garden. ? A garden.

That make sense.
? Simon, come on.

All right, I want everybody
to remember

how lucky we are to have
such a courageous individual

here with us today.

Please respect that
in your questions.

My God.

Where have you been?

Harold kept calling last night.

And then he, um??

he came back drunk
and was banging on the door.

I had to tell him
that you weren't feeling well.

He was, ??

I've never seen him
like that before.

Are you gonna say something,
Cal?

? Um...

I??I think something bad
happened to me.

? What? When?

Last night? ? No, no.

A long time ago,
when I was a child.

? Hey.

? All right, I'm sorry.

Sorry I was out.

Did Forest go down okay?

Truth is only possible
when silence is broken.

We're reading from chapter 28,
paragraph 13.

? It brought me to tears??

thinking of the abuse
that I had as a child

and the silence that I kept.

? Yes.

Yes, when we speak out as women,

as oppressed??
when we speak out,

against injustice and poison
and greed,

we narrow the channel

between the darkness
and the light.

? And they want us in the dark.

I mean, they collect more and
more information on us.

They feed on our ignorance.

? But the son is here
and he is spreading the word.

And he is summoning
the most powerful light??

the cleansing fire
of destruction

that will take away
the damage and the pain

so we, the truly chosen??

we will inherit The Garden

whose name is Truth.

? Hello?

Is anybody out here?

Hey, look, if anyone's here,
it's time to come out.

All right?
