Previously, on "The Path"...
I just need the files for every disgruntled
Meyerist who has ever left.
Cal is in charge, and he shouldn't be.
What, are you collecting Deniers now?
We don't want to be Deniers.
Special agent Gaines?
They're the water results you asked for.
How did this get in there?
This is incredible. It could be the same
person who ran me off the road last night.
Your mom told me that she had a fight with your dad
before she was chased off the road, and he threatened her.
Are you thinking about the outside world?
Is there something else? Someone?
The man that you think might be the father of your child?
- Why are you here? - My name isn't Sam.
So Sarah blackmailed the people who came to her for help.
And if I bring them in to testify,
she's looking at four years minimum sentence.
Cal, Sarah? They know.
Richard, Felicia.
- Are they safe? - I don't know.
- All I know is that it's over. - I'm done.
I just can't do this anymore.
I'm sorry, Richard. I really am.
Cal is a false guardian.
The Light has chosen Eddie Lane!
- Richard? What are you doing? - Sarah? Run!
Push me.
Okay.
Hey, Lizzie!
Hi, Ella.
We got to get to school, girls.
- Morning there. - Morning.
How's everything with the house?
Ah, it's great. Thank you.
You're so lucky you don't have to go to school.
Oh, no, she has to go to school, just homeschool.
We should get going too.
See you.
All right, I'll see you soon.
Love you, Mommy.
Are we safe now?
Yeah.
Thank you for the gift of this bread...
to sustain these vessels our bodies,
so that we may have the energy to create
a more beautiful world, and break through
the blocks and barriers of this life,
and ascend The Ladder of Enlightenment.
He's almost three weeks old,
and he still doesn't have a name.
Did you want to call him Steve?
No.
Well, um, definitely not my dad's name.
Well, the right name will come.
Whose last name will he have?
Are you and Daddy back together again?
Daddy's just helping us.
I like you back together.
What are you doing?
I have to get this thing off. It itches.
Okay. We'll go to the doctor tomorrow.
I can't.
I'll get caught.
I don't care about me, but
Summer...
I did it for The Movement.
All those people had done horrible things.
I know I was wrong.
What I did was awful, and I'm gonna have to live with it.
That and for what happened to Richard.
What happened to Richard is not your fault.
What will happen to him? His soul?
I don't know.
How can you not know?
You're supposed to be imbued with The Light.
So let me get this straight.
A friend of yours at the FBI told you
that my blackmail victims had been deposed?
Yeah.
Who is this magical friend?
You know, you don't have to stay with us.
We'll be fine.
I know.
Here.
Why are you doing this for me?
Because you're still the mother of my children.
Meyerists view death as a celebration.
A celebration of a life lived,
and the promise of The Garden.
But in this case, there's no joy,
only anger and sorrow.
Many of you suggested we not gather for Richard's passing,
but he was with us for a long time,
and loved.
He was, uh...
he was loved by many of us.
My hope... is that we can use today to
transform the agony of this brutal loss
into something, uh into some gain.
Thank you, Bill and Felicia, for standing by our side
at such a difficult time.
Things will be set right.
You'll say something at Ascension Day?
Hasn't there been enough damage?
Cal doesn't want any more either.
He's good for The Movement.
Oh. He's beautiful. Oh.
Thank you. I should get him home.
No way that baby is Sean's.
What are they saying at the city center?
Everyone's wondering the same thing.
Whose baby is it?
- Let's get you home. - Yeah. Okay.
Stay strong. I'm here for you.
This is very painful for me too.
You know how much I love your mother.
All right...
We're gonna fight these horrible lies against her.
- Okay? - You okay?
You take care of him. All right?
Okay, excuse me. Hey, Russ?
- Yeah. - Talk for a sec?
Hi, Nicole.
Any sign of Eddie?
I dropped by there the other day,
saw a couple people going in and out of his place.
What people?
- Well, can we find out? - Mm'mm
You don't think Eddie's with Sarah?
You're good.
Move it up.
Ah, wow. Check this out.
It's so beautiful.
Here.
Hey, Summer, um, so, I have something to tell you.
I just think that your...
All right, so I put a message inside of this for you,
and anytime you want to hear it,
just put it up to your ear,
and you will hear me.
- It's cool, right? - Mm'mm.
Hi.
I'm hungry.
Hungry?
All right, let's go grab some lunch.
- I'm buying. - Oh. Wow.
Can we get ice cream?
Yeah, if your mom's still buying.
I did make some good tips this week.
- We can get a sundae. - Ah, sundae.
That sounds so good.
What kind of sundae do you want?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
- Just any kind of sundae? - I don't know. Yeah.
I like that.
- You know what? Um... - What?
Here, go back to the truck. Go home.
- What? - Uh, my FBI friend is here.
Look, I don't know what side he's on.
Just go home, and I'll let you know
if you have to move again.
Go.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Now, see, that's funny.
You tell me to do the right thing,
and then you run off with my case.
Sarah isn't here with me.
Eddie, I tell you a judge approved
a warrant for your ex-wife,
then you two disappear,
and your car crosses the border that night.
Come on, man. I'm FBI.
Well, she's not here. Just me.
Now, you know I don't believe a word you're saying.
Look, I don't know what to tell you,
Sam Abe
but that's the truth.
Well, I guess that's good luck for me,
because I'm not here for Sarah.
I'm here for you, Eddie.
You're needed.
Your people are waiting for you,
and I'm here to bring you back.
Unburden.
What's on your mind?
Your mom, your dad?
I don't even know what to say anymore.
What if she really did blackmail all those people?
And...I mean, Cal is so protective of her,
he just has everyone convinced that
she's being persecuted.
Wish I could divorce both my parents.
You know what I've learned?
You don't have to stick with the family you were born into.
We can make a new one.
And you have Cal, who loves you like a father.
You have me, if you want me.
Yeah.
I want you.
Oh, uh, sorry.
Oh. It's fine.
This came for you in the mail.
Thank you.
"Do something with it."
What is "It"?
It's from my mom.
These are the Clarksville water results.
All right, man.
I'll let you do your thing.
Don't fuck with my case anymore.
Why are you still in all of this, anyway?
Running after me, bringing me back?
I don't know.
Yes, you do. It got to you.
Yeah, maybe.
But my moral compass is all off,
and I need to get it back on track.
Go home and deal with it.
You know, I've, uh...
Eddie, I've done things.
I've been with someone else.
Yeah.
How do I not tell my wife?
And if I do, how does she forgive me?
Maybe you can't go back.
Maybe.
Or maybe you miss out on the best thing
that's ever happened to you.
I got to take care of some things first.
I screwed someone else over, and it is eating me up.
- Anything I can do? - You know, I'll...
I'll let you know.
Listen, man. Go ahead. Go inside.
They're waiting for you.
Okay.
Hey.
- Hey. - God, I missed this.
Meadow told me.
The Light chose you.
Wow, I, uh...
I don't know what to say.
Um, you know, I'm humbled that you're all here.
Look, the, uh, thing is,
I was told that I had to finish the climb
before I...
And now that seems impossible.
You know, I-I've always been able to...
to see things.
You know, visions.
But I have no control over when or how I see them.
Like, I don't know what happens next,
or how all of this is going to end.
I guess why I'm telling you all this is because...
like, I don't know if I'm "The one."
I know Steve has asked me to lead,
but I just... You know, I just... I don't know.
Eddie.
Eddie, we're with you.
We're waiting for you to tell us what to do next.
Okay.
We've contacted the Mounties.
Gave 'em a description of Sarah Lane,
traveling with a ten-year-old.
- That's great. - What's up?
I just don't get how people can disappear anymore.
Beauty of America.
Chuck your iPhone, you're invisible.
This girl from Wisconsin,
both of her parents died in a freak car accident,
so she goes to the big city,
gets arrested for prostitution,
some predator picks her up off the street,
uses her.
She gets out of jail, and flees.
Guess where she goes.
- Canada? - Hmm. No.
Meyerist Movement.
Who are you talking about?
Looking for her right there.
I don't understand. How did my mom get these?
The police found them in her car after the accident.
This is amazing, to be a part of
being able to blow this thing up?
Yes, it is.
Wait. Is this why someone tried to run her off the road?
'Cause you said my dad...
No, I said your mom had a fight
with him before she went off the road.
No, you pretty clearly insinuated that...
We don't know who ran your mother off the road.
Got a minute?
Yeah, yeah, um...
Yeah, give me a second.
Your... your dad's caused your mom a lot of pain.
All right? I've seen it up close.
He's right.
I mean, your dad has been nothing but heartbreak.
Eddie came back today.
Guess whose car he got out of.
Sam.
Sam Field?
His house is full of Deniers.
Hey.
People from the compound. Meadow Stamberg.
Phil Kenswick. Betsy Singer.
You remember Betsy?
Well, what are they doing there?
They want to reform The Movement.
Okay. Okay. Thank you.
Is it true what they're saying?
What are they saying?
That Richard's lies are getting to people.
They're joining Eddie Lane.
Five or six people.
We have thousands of members.
I hear the rumors, and people are listening.
Well, what are they saying?
That he's the one who's supposed to build The Garden.
And that he will make The Movement
- what we want it to be. - That's nonsense.
People don't know what they want.
I am one of the people,
so I do kinda know.
We want the Wizard to be real.
We want to believe that the sad, angry boy
can become the King.
And that he will understand us, because he once was us.
You talking about Eddie?
I'm talking about you.
This place would not have survived without you.
The Movement is yours.
It's not Steve's, not Sarah's.
She's not the problem here.
She blackmailed people, and she will go to jail.
You are what we want, what we need,
and you should be standing before us on Ascension Day.
But you need to do something about Eddie.
Cal?
What are we gonna do, Eddie?
That ship has sailed, Cal.
Why? Do you have a plan?
What do you want?
Do you think you can lead people?
Are you ready to take on their--
their hopes, their dreams, their agony?
I'll do my best.
It's easy to tell, uh,
nine people you'll take care of them.
What about 50?
100? 1,000?
You know, it changes you.
Look at Sarah.
You'll do whatever it takes to fend for them.
The business of running a religion changes you.
It's not a business.
Yeah, it is.
I'm doing you a favor right now.
- Really? - Because you don't want
what comes next.
Pack up your Merry Men,
before you thoroughly fuck up their lives
and your own.
There's not a single thing
that you can do or
say to get me to walk away from this.
Get the fuck out of here.
What about Sarah?
What if you could help her?
What if--what if we could?
Hello. Welcome.
Come in. The girls are so excited.
So glad you could come to dinner.
Thanks so much for having us.
I got a roast in the kitchen. Just needs a little more time.
I--sorry, I--we-- we don't really eat meat.
- I should have said something. - You're vegetarians?
Yes, but we're--we're happy with anything else.
Oh, gosh, I feel terrible.
You do the homeschool too.
What does that make you?
Weird, I guess.
Well, tell me you at least drink.
I do like my wine.
- Red or white? - Red.
Thank you.
Cast came off.
Yeah.
You take it off yourself?
I noticed it in the trash.
It was itching, so...
American, eh?
Yes.
I hunt.
You look nervous.
Guns around kids make me nervous.
Now, I tried Googling you.
Paula Benson.
And, uh, I couldn't find you.
Well, there's a lot of people you can't Google.
- Here's your wine. - Thank you.
Roast is just about ready.
Do you mind telling me where the ladies' room is?
Sure. It's right through there.
Excuse me.
Lizzie?
why don't we wash up for dinner, huh?
All right. Look at me.
We have to leave. Do what I say.
Don't be scared, okay?
Okay.
Watch your head.
It's okay.
Go.
All right. Go to the car.
- Wait! - Wait, Summer.
Come on.
Come on, let's go. Hurry.
You guys okay in there?
Call 911.
Okay.
All right, get in there.
Go.
It's all right.
Okay.
- Gosh, you're so talented. - Oh, thank you.
I don't know how you do it. I don't-- I don't know how it--
- It was the weirdest thing. - It's incredible.
They're all in Cal's office.
Eddie Lane is there?
Just a second.
What about Eddie Lane?
He's here. In Cal's office.
- What's going on? - Hello, Hawk.
It seems as if your life is about as complicated as my son's.
- What is this? - It's just, uh, business.
Now, one of you tell me what's going on.
- It's complicated, kid. - Dad.
Bye, Eddie.
- Cal, please-- - I think it's best
if your dad explained this one to you.
Right there's good.
You're back at work?
Yeah.
Where's the, uh, the baby?
The nursery here is great,
and I can stop by every two hours to feed him.
Don't be so old-fashioned.
I love to work.
Makes me a better mother.
Why was Eddie here?
We had some business.
What kind?
Sorry.
I like to hear about your life.
I, uh...
I helped him to see that
he--he doesn't have what it takes.
He was willing to
completely abandon his--
his--his--whatever he's doing
in an instant
to help Sarah.
And you trust him?
To abandon it.
You can't start a reform movement
with a corrupt foundation.
Why'd you really help Sarah?
Excuse me?
She's not your lover anymore.
And Hawk is not your son.
You have your own son now.
We have a son.
And you should let him and everyone know.
They'll respect you for it.
Now, don't be so fucking presumptuous.
I'm trying to get this cleaned up.
Okay.
Can't believe it's fall already.
- How's the baby? - Great.
- Have a name yet? - No.
I don't know if you're talking to your mom,
but if you do, will you tell her I'm sorry?
For what?
I should have told her who the father of the baby was.
Who's the father?
Can you keep a secret?
We don't really have secrets.
Yes.
Stop right there.
Pop the trunk, please.
All right, next. Move it forward.
Right there.
Excuse me, sir. Where are you heading today?
Yeah, copy that.
Jim, we got this late-model sedan.
Coming over to you now.
You remember everything I told you?
When this man takes me away?
Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for me over the border.
That's right.
Liquids, seeds, animal products.
Okay, just pull right up to that window.
Next.
Morning, ma'am. Passports, please.
I'm scared.
Don't be.
Okay?
I love you.
And I want you to see your mom do the right thing.
I want you to be proud of me.
Mrs. Lane?
You can go on through.
Have a nice day now.
Dad.
Could you guys,
- just give us a minute-- - Sure.
Please?
Thanks.
Planting a garden?
Yeah.
Broccoli, kale--
Is it true?
What Richard said about you?
What they're all saying about you?
Steve asked me to guide The Movement.
So, uh, my mom's a criminal,
and Cal's not the man I thought he was,
and my dad is...
magic?
- I'm not magic. - Well, you're something.
Look, I believe in magic. I floated.
Okay, just....
Just make me feel like the people inside your house feel.
I wish I could.
I'm asking you to help me believe in you.
It doesn't work that way.
Why...
Why were you and Cal with Libby DeKaan?
We got her to pay back
the people your mother blackmailed,
to get them to drop the charges.
So...
Nothing's gonna happen with the water tests?
And Mom's not gonna...
Go to jail.
Why...
I mean, after she and Cal, why--
why would you care about her like that?
And why did Cal need you there to trade with Libby DeKaan?
He could have just done it on his own.
Cal tested me,
and I'm not the one.
Okay? I'm not...
the guy to lead anyone.
The people inside think you are.
What do you think?
Dad? What...
Do you believe it?
Loss.
What is this...
overwhelming feeling?
Debilitating...
Loss. What is this--
this, uh...
What is--what is this overwhelming feeling?
Mercy.
The act of compassion that we hold
like power in our hands.
Loss washes over us
and takes us under.
Does it matter who drowns?
How do you find compassion
for all the people you don't even know?
And serve-- serve lives
you'd never intersect with?
And make them matter.
And let go...
of the loss
so that we can embrace...
So that you can embrace what's new.
How do we show mercy?
When the one we're dying for forgiveness from
is ourself?
Forest.
Because, um,
that's where he was born.
And came out into the world.
Yeah.
Forest Roberts.
Doesn't sound too bad, huh?
Why?
Why did you do it?
- Hawk told you. - It was my crime.
And if I wanted to pay for it, I should have been able to.
Yeah, well, I couldn't let you go to jail.
You could have helped an entire community.
I know. Believe me.
Why? Why, Eddie?
Why couldn't you let me
take responsibility for my own actions?
If you want to be punished,
you will be, okay?
You don't have to go out searching for it.
Your life will be hell.
Let's go.
- Walk away together. - Sarah--
Be a family.
It's what you wanted.
I mean, Canada? Anywhere.
We were happy. We were almost happy, Eddie.
- We could be happy. - Sarah--
Please.
Sarah.
Please don't go back inside.
You will lose everything beautiful about you.
This has been a season of loss.
The loss of our beloved Steve,
who climbed The Ladder
and brought this all to us.
That incredible day in 1974
when we climbed-- me, my husband, Bill--
We all know the story of the climb, Felicia,
but what we haven't figured out is--
is what comes next.
Thanks, Felicia.
It occurred to me on this Ascension Day,
maybe we need to really
take a moment to live where we are now. Right?
Take this moment to stop...
and...
and hold the loss, right?
- Right. - Yes.
And we have to...
nurture it.
And cradle it like we would
our child.
So that we can let it go.
Into the ether,
where all the-- the lost things go.
Time and money we wasted,
and-- and-- and loves we lost.
Where the dead go.
And release.
Yes.
- So that... - Yes!
We have room--
room to gain...
Yes!
So we can enter
into this next shining era of The Movement.

What's going on?
What's going on, Dad?
Find your mom. Get them out of here.
What's your dad doing?
He believes he's the rightful Guardian.
Hank. No more. Please.
Hank.
Thank you.
You're back.
Yes, I am.
Welcome back.
We need to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
Cal has taken the role of Guardian.
Eddie was chosen,
but his actions have proven him to be unworthy.
There's nothing I could possibly do.
This will be the end of The Movement.
Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
I saw The Ladder, Sarah.
My hands. My hands burned,
for this moment.
So that I would never waver from faith.
You-- you made mistakes.
But you put us above everything.
And you'd do it again.
There are children-- your children-- here.
Together, we can put the rightful one in place.
And if there is no right one,
you, Sarah,
you must take the role yourself.
- We have-- - And on this Ascension Day,
we embrace-- we-- we pardon
those who have left.
And our Deniers,
we take them back
we take them back into our embrace.
I told you.
Now you really need to do something about Eddie Lane.
