The Path (2016) s02e07 Episode Script
Providence
1 WOMAN: Previously on "The Path" I'm moving into the city.
I don't want to talk about it.
I've already decided.
It's a done thing.
I would like to invite you to climb to 2R.
Are you serious? I'd be humbled to be your guide.
I just came from the auction.
- What did he buy it for? - Five.
$5 million? We don't have $5 million.
I need you to run this for industrial pollutants and chemicals, okay? Bill it to the Meyers case.
- Under what? - Offset.
Can you help me with something? Cut it off.
He must have fallen.
This puts the entire movement in jeopardy.
MAN: I want you to think about Eddie.
Let him walk away.
SARAH: I can only see his back now, where the lightning hit him.
He was struck by lightning in Peru.
How did you know? It was Eddie! Eddie Lane was on the mountain with Steve.
Eddie Lane.
[suspenseful music.]
The Path 2x07 Providence ["God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys playing.]
MAN: I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it BOTH: God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows.
BOTH: If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on, believe me The world would show nothing to me So what good would living do me? God only knows what I'd be without you Summer.
Summer! EDDIE: Stop! Stop! [music slowing down.]
MAN: God only knows what I'd be without you Summer? [music slowing down.]
MAN: If you should ever leave me [music speeding back up.]
Go on believe me CHLOE: No, I can't.
No.
I have to work.
Yeah, well, it's not all about you.
[sighing.]
This is ridiculous.
I have work too, you know.
All right.
All right.
You know what? Fine.
Fine.
I will pick him up in an hour, okay? Yes, I will be there in an hour.
[sighs.]
I I have to watch Johnny now, even though it's his week, and I have to be at this wedding in the Hamptons tonight, and - Another wedding? - It's just a gig.
It's it's doing the hair for the whole bridal party, and it goes all weekend, and it's really good money, and my friend got me the job, and she's gonna fucking kill me for having to cancel at the last minute.
It's just[sighs.]
fucking Benson.
Well, you know, I I could watch him.
I mean, why not? Be fun to get to know him a little.
Yeah, that's that's really, really sweet, but we - What? - Me and Benson sort of have this deal worked out where we have to run that sort of thing by each other before we introduce Johnny to a our new anyone new.
All right.
I get that.
But I have actually already met Johnny, at the beach, so that rule doesn't really apply.
Yeah, but yeah, okay, but you weren't my boyfriend then, technically.
Well, we don't have to be boyfriend, girlfriend for the next 48 hours.
I could just be your sitter.
Come on.
I'm CPR certified.
He will be safe - Are you really? - Yes.
I am a very good sitter.
- Are you sure? - Mm-hmm.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Thank you.
Oh, you're so sweet.
Mm! Mm! You are a lifesaver.
You know that? - Yeah.
- Thank you.
The best.
How long has this been here? I called you as soon as I saw it.
What, you didn't see anybody put it up? - You should have stopped them.
- I stepped away for a minute.
Who knows how many people have seen this.
SAUL: I was just in the bathroom and back.
GABY: Sarah? We need to keep this between us.
Is something wrong? Don't bother pretending otherwise.
[dramatic music.]
What have you done? What, Sarah? What is it? I won't let them seize the compound.
What? What are you thinking? No, no.
We're not losing the compound.
I'd never let that happen.
You know, I can't let them take Steve's home the home that he built for us.
Not for your dream.
Now, we we have to sell the the center.
I don't see another way.
[imitating engines and explosions.]
You know, I used to play with G.
I.
Joes too.
Can't believe they're still around.
Hey, what do you say we get out of here? Huh? Go on an adventure or something.
Too much traffic and too many people on a Saturday.
Ah, come on.
It's easy to make up excuses.
There's got to be some place that you want to go.
It better be good.
Okay.
[dog barking.]
MAN: I need your strength.
Your patience.
Your restraint.
Be The Light.
Righteous and good.
Give me your strength, your patience.
Righteous and good.
[leaves rustling.]
Hey.
The hell is wrong with you, man? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? This was your idea.
I'm the one holding the bag of burgers in the middle of the woods.
- That's right.
- What if a bear came at me? Well, then he would be doing you a favor.
There's seriously bears? I can't believe you had me out here like that.
Hey, you might want to slow down there.
I drank the soda on the way.
Just give me the results for the water.
- McClusky shut that down.
- What? - Yeah.
- Why? I think Penetti's been on his ass.
They want these guys out of commission, pronto.
- That's bullshit.
- What does the water have to do with your case? Just get Penetti something and get the fuck out of there.
What are you doing, man? What's going on with you? Seriously, your wife is living with her mom? Just focus and finish the job.
Get your promotion, deal with your real life.
Tell McClusky I got this, okay? I got this.
It doesn't look great, I know.
We were in the process of converting some of the apartments.
Though it's unfinished, the more open floor plan should appeal to savvy investors.
It really affords new possibilities on the space.
Maybe a nonprofit would be interested.
They could continue some of the relationships we've already established with the community.
We'd be more than happy to help with the transition.
Yeah, there's no easy way to say this.
If you sell now, you're gonna take a hit a substantial one.
We understand why you would advise us against that.
Wait three years and you might get what you paid for it.
SARAH: Unfortunately, we're not in a position to wait.
Let us show you the roof garden.
Actually, Sarah, could you go on without me? There's a call I need to make.
- Of course.
- The views alone up there will sell the building.
This way.
[dramatic music.]
Fuck! Ah! Fuck! Fuck! [grunting.]
This will work fine.
This place is insane.
- You like this stuff? - Yeah.
My kids were never really into war stuff, so I've never been here.
Me either.
My dad works.
But we do other fun stuff.
EDDIE: Oh, I don't doubt it.
Butkiss was a fun guy.
- JOHNNY: You know my dad? - EDDIE: I do.
Well, I did.
Smart dude.
Curious, just like you.
JOHNNY: He wouldn't like you.
EDDIE: He wouldn't like me? Why do you say that? JOHNNY: You're not just the babysitter.
Dad wants to get back together, but I know they're not.
Hey, all that matters is that they both love you very much.
Yeah.
I just always miss someone.
Yeah.
Want to go check out the special exhibit? - Yeah.
- Come on.
[suspenseful music.]
Good choice, bud.
JOHNNY: Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were in here.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
- What happened? - Oh, it's nothing.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It was an accident.
You don't have to tell me.
- CAL: [winces.]
- Sorry.
[sighs.]
I fucked up, Mary.
We're gonna lose everything.
- This was supposed to be - You won't let that happen.
Look at what you've already given us.
What you've given me.
Faith.
I never had that.
A husband, Sean, who loves me.
A father for my baby you gave that.
You you give it.
You'll never let us down.
You see us.
I see you.
Oh, no.
[heavy breathing.]
Oh.
No, no.
Sorry, sorry.
HAWK: There's nothing to be afraid of.
Consider this offering an act of solidarity.
We're with you.
We are you.
The Light says that no man is better or worse than any other man, even though the circumstances of their birth may try to say otherwise.
The Light said, "To be closer to me, you must humble yourself.
" And so we kneel before those we assume we are better than, and we wash each other's feet as a reminder that we are all the same.
No more, no less.
Why don't you get us some fresh towels? I'll take over for you.
Yeah.
- MAN: [winces.]
- I'm sorry.
You should come inside after.
We have some boots that might fit you better.
- I have boots.
- That's fine.
You can take them both.
Whatever you want.
I'm Hawk.
Daniel.
HAWK: It's good to meet you, sir.
Mom? I didn't recognize you at first.
Uh, yeah.
It's different.
I know.
Looks good on you.
All this does.
May I help? Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Could you take these? CAL: Hawk.
You cut your hair.
Yeah.
Yeah, I wanted a change.
- You were looking for me? - Yes.
Yes.
I heard what you did your interpretation of the rung, your ability to recognize how you could best serve those around you.
It's exemplary.
- Thanks.
- Everyone isn't so insightful.
I see you, Hawk.
You're a leader in the making.
That's why I want to get a jump on our next session.
- Right now? - Yeah.
Walk with me.
Mastering Servant is not only understanding how you can be of service, but identifying the potential in others.
- Uh-huh.
- Steve saw the same gift of insight in me when I was doing 2R.
Did you ever meet Jeremiah? He and Richard were together for a long time.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
- Jeremiah was this guy really wanted to help whenever he could.
We'd go on these disaster missions, but the guy had allergies, asthma, and we'd end up having to take care of him.
So one day I said to Steve, "Jeremiah's a great lawyer.
That's what he should be doing.
Instead of having an asthma attack in the field, he should go back to work and help us fund the work we do.
" - Was he upset? - Uh, for a moment, but, you know, once he wrote the first check, he got that high that you can only get from truly serving.
The joy in exercising what you have to give.
Where's Jeremiah now? That's another story for another time.
Here, now, I want you to keep an eye on your peers, identify their individual potential, and and, uh, you know, help them see it.
Help them realize it.
Like your friend, Noa.
HANK: How bad is it? - [sighs.]
- Oh.
It took us years to rebuild Steve's family farm into the place.
Then what about our homes? They're on the compound.
Does that mean they take our homes too? SARAH: If we sell the New York City building, we can pay back the taxes.
What do you mean "if"? You can't be wavering.
When.
When we sell Will selling it even be enough money? - We all know he overpaid.
- GABY: And what about the garden? What if this is where the garden is meant to be and we lose it? SARAH: The Light has a plan.
We just need to open ourselves to it.
But you own your house.
- We have five kids five kids.
- Nicole What else do we know how to do? You don't know how to do anything.
What are you gonna do? Bag groceries? - How did this happen? - Well, it's not my fault, Dad.
- I wasn't blaming you.
- You were looking at me - when you said that.
- I wasn't blaming you.
Sarah's in charge, and I get blamed.
Your dad's going through something.
- What does that mean? - Stop it.
Stop.
- SUMMER: What's wrong? - SARAH: Nothing, honey.
It's okay.
Everything's fine.
You can go back and play.
Everything will be okay.
I promise.
And I take responsibility.
I do.
But I need your support.
You know, if this gets out, people will panic, and I need everybody to remain calm while we get through this, okay? The Light has a plan.
If we open ourselves to it BOTH: We become part of its map.
ALL: Our fates intertwined with its providence, so no matter which direction we walk in, The Light will point us home.
EDDIE: Whoa.
How cool is this? Did you know this ship also fought in World War II and against Russia? EDDIE: I did not.
How'd you know that? JONNY: Uh, I live in the world.
- Easy, wiseass.
- Hey, check this one out.
Wow.
Great.
What happened? Why are they running like that? MAN: We shall fight the battle for social construction, and throughout the world.
.
Let's, uh, let's go this way.
JOHNNY: Eddie? Hey, are you okay? Yeah, no, I'm fine.
[bombs exploding.]
[gunfire.]
MAN: We shall fight the battle against aggression in Vietnam.
[gunfire.]
MAN: And we shall prevail.
[soft music.]
Hey.
Got your text.
SEAN: [sighs.]
Um, hey, I lost my phone.
Is there any way that I can use yours? Thanks.
Hey, Mom.
Yeah, yeah, hi.
Oh, I know.
I know, it's, um it's been a while.
Yeah, no, everything's great.
Mary is great.
No.
No, no, no.
I'm I'm fine.
I just you know, really.
Yeah, I miss you too.
Ah, you know, I got to go in a minute.
I just, um, I, uh, I wanted to let you know that we're having a baby.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I don't know I'm a little scared, you know, 'cause I don't know how it's gonna be, and, um no.
No, Mom, I'm not that's no, that's not what I'm saying, I'm No, Mom, that's no, please.
Don't come, okay? Just don't come.
I'm fine.
I just I wanted I wanted just to tell you, you know? Okay.
Just don't come, okay? [sighs.]
RICHARD: Fill this space with light.
Let it be healed.
Find [mumbling.]
And we may find always the truth in The Light [mumbling.]
.
Where's Eddie? - It wasn't the right time.
- But we need him! We're so close to knowing what happened.
It wasn't right! It's taken me years to feel clean to accept The Light's forgiveness.
I nearly forfeited that for this.
I've been acting out of anger, rage.
You've been acting out of loyalty to Steve.
Don't lose sight of that.
Following Eddie led me back there.
To the war.
The men whose lives I took.
That was no coincidence.
I was made to see that.
I am no longer the man who committed those atrocities.
It was Steve who helped you see that.
There was a child with him.
A little boy.
It wasn't the right time.
I trust in your judgment, just as Steve did.
We need to try again.
I don't know if I can.
We owe it to Steve.
He'll see us through this.
You space out a lot.
Uh, no, I, um is this all right? - I hate bananas.
- You hate bananas? Look, I just got to make some more.
Look Johnny, you know I'm not trying to be your dad, right? Because, you know, if anyone was trying to do that with my kids, I would not be okay with it.
- But you like my mom.
- Yes, I do.
Then my dad will never like you, so I can't like you.
Maybe stop trying to make me like you.
Fair enough.
What happened to the kids in that picture? Picture? Oh, from the, um, the exhibit? Ah, well, it was in a war, and they were very scared.
Did they die? It was a very long time ago, Johnny.
- Can that happen here? - No.
But if it did, what would you do? - It's not gonna happen here.
- But if it did.
I would go home as fast as I could and try to protect my family.
- You'd leave me? - No.
If you if you were with me, I would I would take you with me.
That's not that the man said.
The man? The one who was following us.
There was a man following us? Where? At the museum? He asked if I knew how to get home, because he wanted you to go with him.
I've been looking over our finances.
And praying.
We're fucked no matter what we do.
We owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
You know, I own my own home, but I'm one of the few.
You know, Eddie wanted us to own something something that was just ours.
I'm gonna try to take a second mortgage out on the house.
It won't be everything that we need, but it could show a sign of good faith while we ask others to sacrifice.
- What about this place? - We try to keep it.
- Sarah, why? - For the movement.
For the future.
And for my son.
You seen Noa? Thank you.
I was looking for you.
Found me.
[clears throat.]
Hey, check it out.
Have you ever thought about how much has to come together for anything to grow? Or live, even.
Smoked out since junior high, so I've probably thought about it once or twice.
Right.
It's just it's crazy how if something doesn't do its thing, doesn't do everything it can do, we lose out on just how good it can all be.
Okay.
Guess that's true.
That's why you were looking for me? No.
Yeah.
In a way.
I don't think you're living up to your full potential.
- What? - I don't think you're doing everything you can for the movement.
I know you and your mom don't have the easiest relationship, - but I think if you - Stop.
Stop it.
I mean, denying where you come from and who you are and all the good that money could do for so many people.
Don't do this, Hawk.
But you say you want to help people.
This is how you can make the greatest impact.
Did your mom ever leave you stranded at a friend's birthday party for hours after everyone else had gone home? Your friends' parents just staring at you, not knowing what to do with you except never invite you back, obviously.
When she finally did show up, she'd be stoned, just completely out of her mind, and she's say how sorry she was and that she'd make it up to me, and I let her.
I let her buy my forgiveness, buy me, over and over.
How fucked up is that? It's, uh it's fucked up.
She is.
She's That woman's been on so many pills for so long, I'm shocked she doesn't just disintegrate in the rain.
I don't think it rains much in L.
A.
I'm never asking her for anything ever again, Hawk.
She's toxic.
[sighs.]
DIANE: Are these all of your housing costs? Utilities, property taxes SARAH: Yes.
All accounted for.
I see you bring in $20,000 a year, Mr.
Lane.
Oh, no, sorry.
I'm not Mr.
Lane.
He's my business partner.
Cal Roberts.
Where's Mr.
Lane? He is the co-owner of the house.
We're in the process of him signing it over to me.
We're estranged.
Your earnings they appear to fluctuate every quarter or so? The movement pays my salary, and since our primary income is based on donations, my take-home can vary.
But you'll see in that earnings report that most of our followers are part of the monthly giving program, so that's a steady stream Which they can quit at any time? They won't do that.
There's no stable cash flow for monthly repayments.
SARAH: There's never been any problem.
I've always made my mortgage payments on time.
While you were a two-income household.
Is your home's last appraiser considered a disciple of your religion? CAL: What what does the faith of the appraiser have to do with anything? Maybe a conflict of interest, given your urgent need for this loan.
But it is extraneous.
The truth is, trying to add debt on top of accumulating losses is a step toward bankruptcy.
She hates surprises.
That's all I'm saying.
Here, put this in the car for me.
[phone dialing.]
CHLOE: Hey, Eddie, is everything okay? Better than we're, uh we're coming to see you.
CHLOE: What? Eddie, no.
The wedding's in a couple hours, and I'm coming right home after that.
EDDIE: Yeah, well, you know, we thought it'd be fun hang out at the beach all day - [dog barking.]
- Until you're done.
Then we can road trip back together.
CHLOE: Eddie, are you sure that everything's okay? Eddie, I'm sorry, I just this is so sweet of you, and I'm just really tired and these girls are really insane, and I just look, I can't thank you enough for what you're doing for me, and now this, and I just love what you're doing for me, and, um, it really means a lot to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I can't wait to see you.
CHLOE: Okay.
You too.
Bye.
Come on.
Get in the car.
I tried.
CAL: I know.
We can't save it.
We're supposed to be leaders and protectors of this movement.
Co-guardians of The Light.
And we are really fucking this up.
[laughter.]
I mean Oh, God.
[laughter.]
- Sarah - You moved me.
Since I was a kid, I grew up with everything, and you were this boy who came from hell and could find The Light and still bring it to others.
You were exceptional.
I also knew there were things that you weren't capable of.
But that was the sacrifice, the choice you had to make, so you could bring the word to others.
I know that you're acting in contrition for what you did But we need to start over.
We need to do things right.
I need you to be exceptional again.
[dramatic music.]
Ah.
Damn it! Hey.
- ABE: Hey.
- You all right? Yeah, I'm just being clumsy today.
That's all.
My oven's on the fritz.
Frankly, I needed to get away from them.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
Nicole, come on, what is it? What's going on? Between us? Yeah, of course.
Cal and Sarah got us in serious debt.
Bank put a lien on the compound.
This compound? Oh.
Oh, god, now I've got you freaked out too.
I can never keep my big mouth shut.
No.
No, no, no.
Listen.
Are you sure it's that serious? - Hey.
- I didn't mean I didn't want to worry you.
Hey.
They can repossess this compound, but they can't repossess our faith, right? Be well, Sam.
[suspenseful music.]
I tried.
With Noa, to get her to see, but she wasn't ready to hear it.
She won't ask her mom for money.
It's okay.
We all fail sometimes.
Sorry, was there something else? Noa told me about her about how she'd abandoned her as a kid, leave her to fend for herself all the time.
Once she told me how awful she was, I knew.
We don't need to help Noa live up to her potential.
We need to help her mother.
She needs The Light.
No, I don't need a ride, thank you.
What? What are you doing here? I need you to get in the car, sweetheart.
No, Mom, look, I Mom, I can't do that, okay? Sean, listen to your mother.
Sean, my name is Wendy Kennair.
KAREN: She's gonna help you, Sean.
You, Mary, and our grandchild.
You're getting out.
[lock clicks.]
[doorbell ringing.]
RUSSEL: I got it.
CAL: Can I come in? RUSSEL: Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
We're just about to have lunch.
Hey.
Look who it is.
HANK: Hey, Cal.
What are you doing here? CAL: I, uh, I wanted to apologize to all of you for buying that building with funds we didn't have.
I know it's not been easy with Steve gone.
He was he was our father, and our leader, our friend, and I wanted to bring the same and more, and I failed.
But I would like to try again.
I'm gonna do everything I can to fix this, to get us out of debt, and you will not suffer.
I promise you that.
Thanks, Cal.
And whatever you need, you know, we're here for you.
GABY: Join us.
Sit.
Sit, sit, sit.
- RUSSEL: Yeah.
Come on.
- GABY: Here, sweetie.
Here.
- CAL: You sure? - RUSSEL: Okay, come on, kids! Food's on.
You're welcome.
Hey.
This has been a difficult time.
There's no denying that.
It could be better.
But it could be worse.
Not your most uplifting speech.
Have a little faith, Nicole.
If not for your sake, then ours.
There's no room for doubt.
We're grateful for this day, for its blessings, and for the hardships testing our resolve, hardships that will prove us to be worthy recipients and messengers of The Light.
ALL: We ask for the strength to see us through bouts of uncertainty, to forgive our transgressions, and those of others.
If we live in The Light, it will always show us the way.
The Light will provide.
- You tired, bud? - Yeah.
Why don't you take a nap? We still have at least an hour till we get there.
Okay.
MAN: God only knows what I'd be without you Hey, you stay here.
I'll be right back, all right? Hey, you all right? You need a jump? I've got some cables in the car.
Richard.
Hey, what are you [grunting.]
[dramatic music.]
MAN: I lost control.
I didn't mean to hit her, but she just wouldn't stop.
WOMAN: He made me touch him.
I didn't want to.
MAN: Losing him I'm going through the unimaginable.
WOMAN: No one would believe me.
That's what he told me.
He just kept saying it over and over again.
MAN: First time, I thought I was gonna die, but the time after that, it felt like like I came to life.
MAN: I had these tactics I would use.
First money, then candy.
When that stopped working, alcohol and drugs.
[grunting.]
The Light provides.
JOHNNY: Eddie? Eddie? Where'd you go? Eddie? WOMAN: Let's take a little drive To the hills of Ojai Set that city life aside Up in old Ojai Up in old Ojai Up in old Ojai
I don't want to talk about it.
I've already decided.
It's a done thing.
I would like to invite you to climb to 2R.
Are you serious? I'd be humbled to be your guide.
I just came from the auction.
- What did he buy it for? - Five.
$5 million? We don't have $5 million.
I need you to run this for industrial pollutants and chemicals, okay? Bill it to the Meyers case.
- Under what? - Offset.
Can you help me with something? Cut it off.
He must have fallen.
This puts the entire movement in jeopardy.
MAN: I want you to think about Eddie.
Let him walk away.
SARAH: I can only see his back now, where the lightning hit him.
He was struck by lightning in Peru.
How did you know? It was Eddie! Eddie Lane was on the mountain with Steve.
Eddie Lane.

Fine.
I will pick him up in an hour, okay? Yes, I will be there in an hour.
[sighs.]
I I have to watch Johnny now, even though it's his week, and I have to be at this wedding in the Hamptons tonight, and - Another wedding? - It's just a gig.
It's it's doing the hair for the whole bridal party, and it goes all weekend, and it's really good money, and my friend got me the job, and she's gonna fucking kill me for having to cancel at the last minute.
It's just[sighs.]
fucking Benson.
Well, you know, I I could watch him.
I mean, why not? Be fun to get to know him a little.
Yeah, that's that's really, really sweet, but we - What? - Me and Benson sort of have this deal worked out where we have to run that sort of thing by each other before we introduce Johnny to a our new anyone new.
All right.
I get that.
But I have actually already met Johnny, at the beach, so that rule doesn't really apply.
Yeah, but yeah, okay, but you weren't my boyfriend then, technically.
Well, we don't have to be boyfriend, girlfriend for the next 48 hours.
I could just be your sitter.
Come on.
I'm CPR certified.
He will be safe - Are you really? - Yes.
I am a very good sitter.
- Are you sure? - Mm-hmm.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Thank you.
Oh, you're so sweet.
Mm! Mm! You are a lifesaver.
You know that? - Yeah.
- Thank you.
The best.
How long has this been here? I called you as soon as I saw it.
What, you didn't see anybody put it up? - You should have stopped them.
- I stepped away for a minute.
Who knows how many people have seen this.
SAUL: I was just in the bathroom and back.
GABY: Sarah? We need to keep this between us.
Is something wrong? Don't bother pretending otherwise.
[dramatic music.]
What have you done? What, Sarah? What is it? I won't let them seize the compound.
What? What are you thinking? No, no.
We're not losing the compound.
I'd never let that happen.
You know, I can't let them take Steve's home the home that he built for us.
Not for your dream.
Now, we we have to sell the the center.
I don't see another way.
[imitating engines and explosions.]
You know, I used to play with G.
I.
Joes too.
Can't believe they're still around.
Hey, what do you say we get out of here? Huh? Go on an adventure or something.
Too much traffic and too many people on a Saturday.
Ah, come on.
It's easy to make up excuses.
There's got to be some place that you want to go.
It better be good.
Okay.
[dog barking.]
MAN: I need your strength.
Your patience.
Your restraint.
Be The Light.
Righteous and good.
Give me your strength, your patience.
Righteous and good.
[leaves rustling.]
Hey.
The hell is wrong with you, man? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? This was your idea.
I'm the one holding the bag of burgers in the middle of the woods.
- That's right.
- What if a bear came at me? Well, then he would be doing you a favor.
There's seriously bears? I can't believe you had me out here like that.
Hey, you might want to slow down there.
I drank the soda on the way.
Just give me the results for the water.
- McClusky shut that down.
- What? - Yeah.
- Why? I think Penetti's been on his ass.
They want these guys out of commission, pronto.
- That's bullshit.
- What does the water have to do with your case? Just get Penetti something and get the fuck out of there.
What are you doing, man? What's going on with you? Seriously, your wife is living with her mom? Just focus and finish the job.
Get your promotion, deal with your real life.
Tell McClusky I got this, okay? I got this.
It doesn't look great, I know.
We were in the process of converting some of the apartments.
Though it's unfinished, the more open floor plan should appeal to savvy investors.
It really affords new possibilities on the space.
Maybe a nonprofit would be interested.
They could continue some of the relationships we've already established with the community.
We'd be more than happy to help with the transition.
Yeah, there's no easy way to say this.
If you sell now, you're gonna take a hit a substantial one.
We understand why you would advise us against that.
Wait three years and you might get what you paid for it.
SARAH: Unfortunately, we're not in a position to wait.
Let us show you the roof garden.
Actually, Sarah, could you go on without me? There's a call I need to make.
- Of course.
- The views alone up there will sell the building.
This way.
[dramatic music.]
Fuck! Ah! Fuck! Fuck! [grunting.]
This will work fine.
This place is insane.
- You like this stuff? - Yeah.
My kids were never really into war stuff, so I've never been here.
Me either.
My dad works.
But we do other fun stuff.
EDDIE: Oh, I don't doubt it.
Butkiss was a fun guy.
- JOHNNY: You know my dad? - EDDIE: I do.
Well, I did.
Smart dude.
Curious, just like you.
JOHNNY: He wouldn't like you.
EDDIE: He wouldn't like me? Why do you say that? JOHNNY: You're not just the babysitter.
Dad wants to get back together, but I know they're not.
Hey, all that matters is that they both love you very much.
Yeah.
I just always miss someone.
Yeah.
Want to go check out the special exhibit? - Yeah.
- Come on.
[suspenseful music.]
Good choice, bud.
JOHNNY: Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were in here.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
- What happened? - Oh, it's nothing.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It was an accident.
You don't have to tell me.
- CAL: [winces.]
- Sorry.
[sighs.]
I fucked up, Mary.
We're gonna lose everything.
- This was supposed to be - You won't let that happen.
Look at what you've already given us.
What you've given me.
Faith.
I never had that.
A husband, Sean, who loves me.
A father for my baby you gave that.
You you give it.
You'll never let us down.
You see us.
I see you.
Oh, no.
[heavy breathing.]
Oh.
No, no.
Sorry, sorry.
HAWK: There's nothing to be afraid of.
Consider this offering an act of solidarity.
We're with you.
We are you.
The Light says that no man is better or worse than any other man, even though the circumstances of their birth may try to say otherwise.
The Light said, "To be closer to me, you must humble yourself.
" And so we kneel before those we assume we are better than, and we wash each other's feet as a reminder that we are all the same.
No more, no less.
Why don't you get us some fresh towels? I'll take over for you.
Yeah.
- MAN: [winces.]
- I'm sorry.
You should come inside after.
We have some boots that might fit you better.
- I have boots.
- That's fine.
You can take them both.
Whatever you want.
I'm Hawk.
Daniel.
HAWK: It's good to meet you, sir.
Mom? I didn't recognize you at first.
Uh, yeah.
It's different.
I know.
Looks good on you.
All this does.
May I help? Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Could you take these? CAL: Hawk.
You cut your hair.
Yeah.
Yeah, I wanted a change.
- You were looking for me? - Yes.
Yes.
I heard what you did your interpretation of the rung, your ability to recognize how you could best serve those around you.
It's exemplary.
- Thanks.
- Everyone isn't so insightful.
I see you, Hawk.
You're a leader in the making.
That's why I want to get a jump on our next session.
- Right now? - Yeah.
Walk with me.
Mastering Servant is not only understanding how you can be of service, but identifying the potential in others.
- Uh-huh.
- Steve saw the same gift of insight in me when I was doing 2R.
Did you ever meet Jeremiah? He and Richard were together for a long time.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
- Jeremiah was this guy really wanted to help whenever he could.
We'd go on these disaster missions, but the guy had allergies, asthma, and we'd end up having to take care of him.
So one day I said to Steve, "Jeremiah's a great lawyer.
That's what he should be doing.
Instead of having an asthma attack in the field, he should go back to work and help us fund the work we do.
" - Was he upset? - Uh, for a moment, but, you know, once he wrote the first check, he got that high that you can only get from truly serving.
The joy in exercising what you have to give.
Where's Jeremiah now? That's another story for another time.
Here, now, I want you to keep an eye on your peers, identify their individual potential, and and, uh, you know, help them see it.
Help them realize it.
Like your friend, Noa.
HANK: How bad is it? - [sighs.]
- Oh.
It took us years to rebuild Steve's family farm into the place.
Then what about our homes? They're on the compound.
Does that mean they take our homes too? SARAH: If we sell the New York City building, we can pay back the taxes.
What do you mean "if"? You can't be wavering.
When.
When we sell Will selling it even be enough money? - We all know he overpaid.
- GABY: And what about the garden? What if this is where the garden is meant to be and we lose it? SARAH: The Light has a plan.
We just need to open ourselves to it.
But you own your house.
- We have five kids five kids.
- Nicole What else do we know how to do? You don't know how to do anything.
What are you gonna do? Bag groceries? - How did this happen? - Well, it's not my fault, Dad.
- I wasn't blaming you.
- You were looking at me - when you said that.
- I wasn't blaming you.
Sarah's in charge, and I get blamed.
Your dad's going through something.
- What does that mean? - Stop it.
Stop.
- SUMMER: What's wrong? - SARAH: Nothing, honey.
It's okay.
Everything's fine.
You can go back and play.
Everything will be okay.
I promise.
And I take responsibility.
I do.
But I need your support.
You know, if this gets out, people will panic, and I need everybody to remain calm while we get through this, okay? The Light has a plan.
If we open ourselves to it BOTH: We become part of its map.
ALL: Our fates intertwined with its providence, so no matter which direction we walk in, The Light will point us home.
EDDIE: Whoa.
How cool is this? Did you know this ship also fought in World War II and against Russia? EDDIE: I did not.
How'd you know that? JONNY: Uh, I live in the world.
- Easy, wiseass.
- Hey, check this one out.
Wow.
Great.
What happened? Why are they running like that? MAN: We shall fight the battle for social construction, and throughout the world.
.
Let's, uh, let's go this way.
JOHNNY: Eddie? Hey, are you okay? Yeah, no, I'm fine.
[bombs exploding.]
[gunfire.]
MAN: We shall fight the battle against aggression in Vietnam.
[gunfire.]
MAN: And we shall prevail.
[soft music.]
Hey.
Got your text.
SEAN: [sighs.]
Um, hey, I lost my phone.
Is there any way that I can use yours? Thanks.
Hey, Mom.
Yeah, yeah, hi.
Oh, I know.
I know, it's, um it's been a while.
Yeah, no, everything's great.
Mary is great.
No.
No, no, no.
I'm I'm fine.
I just you know, really.
Yeah, I miss you too.
Ah, you know, I got to go in a minute.
I just, um, I, uh, I wanted to let you know that we're having a baby.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I don't know I'm a little scared, you know, 'cause I don't know how it's gonna be, and, um no.
No, Mom, I'm not that's no, that's not what I'm saying, I'm No, Mom, that's no, please.
Don't come, okay? Just don't come.
I'm fine.
I just I wanted I wanted just to tell you, you know? Okay.
Just don't come, okay? [sighs.]
RICHARD: Fill this space with light.
Let it be healed.
Find [mumbling.]
And we may find always the truth in The Light [mumbling.]
.
Where's Eddie? - It wasn't the right time.
- But we need him! We're so close to knowing what happened.
It wasn't right! It's taken me years to feel clean to accept The Light's forgiveness.
I nearly forfeited that for this.
I've been acting out of anger, rage.
You've been acting out of loyalty to Steve.
Don't lose sight of that.
Following Eddie led me back there.
To the war.
The men whose lives I took.
That was no coincidence.
I was made to see that.
I am no longer the man who committed those atrocities.
It was Steve who helped you see that.
There was a child with him.
A little boy.
It wasn't the right time.
I trust in your judgment, just as Steve did.
We need to try again.
I don't know if I can.
We owe it to Steve.
He'll see us through this.
You space out a lot.
Uh, no, I, um is this all right? - I hate bananas.
- You hate bananas? Look, I just got to make some more.
Look Johnny, you know I'm not trying to be your dad, right? Because, you know, if anyone was trying to do that with my kids, I would not be okay with it.
- But you like my mom.
- Yes, I do.
Then my dad will never like you, so I can't like you.
Maybe stop trying to make me like you.
Fair enough.
What happened to the kids in that picture? Picture? Oh, from the, um, the exhibit? Ah, well, it was in a war, and they were very scared.
Did they die? It was a very long time ago, Johnny.
- Can that happen here? - No.
But if it did, what would you do? - It's not gonna happen here.
- But if it did.
I would go home as fast as I could and try to protect my family.
- You'd leave me? - No.
If you if you were with me, I would I would take you with me.
That's not that the man said.
The man? The one who was following us.
There was a man following us? Where? At the museum? He asked if I knew how to get home, because he wanted you to go with him.
I've been looking over our finances.
And praying.
We're fucked no matter what we do.
We owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
You know, I own my own home, but I'm one of the few.
You know, Eddie wanted us to own something something that was just ours.
I'm gonna try to take a second mortgage out on the house.
It won't be everything that we need, but it could show a sign of good faith while we ask others to sacrifice.
- What about this place? - We try to keep it.
- Sarah, why? - For the movement.
For the future.
And for my son.
You seen Noa? Thank you.
I was looking for you.
Found me.
[clears throat.]
Hey, check it out.
Have you ever thought about how much has to come together for anything to grow? Or live, even.
Smoked out since junior high, so I've probably thought about it once or twice.
Right.
It's just it's crazy how if something doesn't do its thing, doesn't do everything it can do, we lose out on just how good it can all be.
Okay.
Guess that's true.
That's why you were looking for me? No.
Yeah.
In a way.
I don't think you're living up to your full potential.
- What? - I don't think you're doing everything you can for the movement.
I know you and your mom don't have the easiest relationship, - but I think if you - Stop.
Stop it.
I mean, denying where you come from and who you are and all the good that money could do for so many people.
Don't do this, Hawk.
But you say you want to help people.
This is how you can make the greatest impact.
Did your mom ever leave you stranded at a friend's birthday party for hours after everyone else had gone home? Your friends' parents just staring at you, not knowing what to do with you except never invite you back, obviously.
When she finally did show up, she'd be stoned, just completely out of her mind, and she's say how sorry she was and that she'd make it up to me, and I let her.
I let her buy my forgiveness, buy me, over and over.
How fucked up is that? It's, uh it's fucked up.
She is.
She's That woman's been on so many pills for so long, I'm shocked she doesn't just disintegrate in the rain.
I don't think it rains much in L.
A.
I'm never asking her for anything ever again, Hawk.
She's toxic.
[sighs.]
DIANE: Are these all of your housing costs? Utilities, property taxes SARAH: Yes.
All accounted for.
I see you bring in $20,000 a year, Mr.
Lane.
Oh, no, sorry.
I'm not Mr.
Lane.
He's my business partner.
Cal Roberts.
Where's Mr.
Lane? He is the co-owner of the house.
We're in the process of him signing it over to me.
We're estranged.
Your earnings they appear to fluctuate every quarter or so? The movement pays my salary, and since our primary income is based on donations, my take-home can vary.
But you'll see in that earnings report that most of our followers are part of the monthly giving program, so that's a steady stream Which they can quit at any time? They won't do that.
There's no stable cash flow for monthly repayments.
SARAH: There's never been any problem.
I've always made my mortgage payments on time.
While you were a two-income household.
Is your home's last appraiser considered a disciple of your religion? CAL: What what does the faith of the appraiser have to do with anything? Maybe a conflict of interest, given your urgent need for this loan.
But it is extraneous.
The truth is, trying to add debt on top of accumulating losses is a step toward bankruptcy.
She hates surprises.
That's all I'm saying.
Here, put this in the car for me.
[phone dialing.]
CHLOE: Hey, Eddie, is everything okay? Better than we're, uh we're coming to see you.
CHLOE: What? Eddie, no.
The wedding's in a couple hours, and I'm coming right home after that.
EDDIE: Yeah, well, you know, we thought it'd be fun hang out at the beach all day - [dog barking.]
- Until you're done.
Then we can road trip back together.
CHLOE: Eddie, are you sure that everything's okay? Eddie, I'm sorry, I just this is so sweet of you, and I'm just really tired and these girls are really insane, and I just look, I can't thank you enough for what you're doing for me, and now this, and I just love what you're doing for me, and, um, it really means a lot to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I can't wait to see you.
CHLOE: Okay.
You too.
Bye.
Come on.
Get in the car.
I tried.
CAL: I know.
We can't save it.
We're supposed to be leaders and protectors of this movement.
Co-guardians of The Light.
And we are really fucking this up.
[laughter.]
I mean Oh, God.
[laughter.]
- Sarah - You moved me.
Since I was a kid, I grew up with everything, and you were this boy who came from hell and could find The Light and still bring it to others.
You were exceptional.
I also knew there were things that you weren't capable of.
But that was the sacrifice, the choice you had to make, so you could bring the word to others.
I know that you're acting in contrition for what you did But we need to start over.
We need to do things right.
I need you to be exceptional again.
[dramatic music.]
Ah.
Damn it! Hey.
- ABE: Hey.
- You all right? Yeah, I'm just being clumsy today.
That's all.
My oven's on the fritz.
Frankly, I needed to get away from them.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
Nicole, come on, what is it? What's going on? Between us? Yeah, of course.
Cal and Sarah got us in serious debt.
Bank put a lien on the compound.
This compound? Oh.
Oh, god, now I've got you freaked out too.
I can never keep my big mouth shut.
No.
No, no, no.
Listen.
Are you sure it's that serious? - Hey.
- I didn't mean I didn't want to worry you.
Hey.
They can repossess this compound, but they can't repossess our faith, right? Be well, Sam.
[suspenseful music.]
I tried.
With Noa, to get her to see, but she wasn't ready to hear it.
She won't ask her mom for money.
It's okay.
We all fail sometimes.
Sorry, was there something else? Noa told me about her about how she'd abandoned her as a kid, leave her to fend for herself all the time.
Once she told me how awful she was, I knew.
We don't need to help Noa live up to her potential.
We need to help her mother.
She needs The Light.
No, I don't need a ride, thank you.
What? What are you doing here? I need you to get in the car, sweetheart.
No, Mom, look, I Mom, I can't do that, okay? Sean, listen to your mother.
Sean, my name is Wendy Kennair.
KAREN: She's gonna help you, Sean.
You, Mary, and our grandchild.
You're getting out.
[lock clicks.]
[doorbell ringing.]
RUSSEL: I got it.
CAL: Can I come in? RUSSEL: Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
We're just about to have lunch.
Hey.
Look who it is.
HANK: Hey, Cal.
What are you doing here? CAL: I, uh, I wanted to apologize to all of you for buying that building with funds we didn't have.
I know it's not been easy with Steve gone.
He was he was our father, and our leader, our friend, and I wanted to bring the same and more, and I failed.
But I would like to try again.
I'm gonna do everything I can to fix this, to get us out of debt, and you will not suffer.
I promise you that.
Thanks, Cal.
And whatever you need, you know, we're here for you.
GABY: Join us.
Sit.
Sit, sit, sit.
- RUSSEL: Yeah.
Come on.
- GABY: Here, sweetie.
Here.
- CAL: You sure? - RUSSEL: Okay, come on, kids! Food's on.
You're welcome.
Hey.
This has been a difficult time.
There's no denying that.
It could be better.
But it could be worse.
Not your most uplifting speech.
Have a little faith, Nicole.
If not for your sake, then ours.
There's no room for doubt.
We're grateful for this day, for its blessings, and for the hardships testing our resolve, hardships that will prove us to be worthy recipients and messengers of The Light.
ALL: We ask for the strength to see us through bouts of uncertainty, to forgive our transgressions, and those of others.
If we live in The Light, it will always show us the way.
The Light will provide.
- You tired, bud? - Yeah.
Why don't you take a nap? We still have at least an hour till we get there.
Okay.
MAN: God only knows what I'd be without you Hey, you stay here.
I'll be right back, all right? Hey, you all right? You need a jump? I've got some cables in the car.
Richard.
Hey, what are you [grunting.]
[dramatic music.]
MAN: I lost control.
I didn't mean to hit her, but she just wouldn't stop.
WOMAN: He made me touch him.
I didn't want to.
MAN: Losing him I'm going through the unimaginable.
WOMAN: No one would believe me.
That's what he told me.
He just kept saying it over and over again.
MAN: First time, I thought I was gonna die, but the time after that, it felt like like I came to life.
MAN: I had these tactics I would use.
First money, then candy.
When that stopped working, alcohol and drugs.
[grunting.]
The Light provides.
JOHNNY: Eddie? Eddie? Where'd you go? Eddie? WOMAN: Let's take a little drive To the hills of Ojai Set that city life aside Up in old Ojai Up in old Ojai Up in old Ojai
