Previously on "The Path"...

Sarah and I've decided

that she will no longer be
a part of The Movement.

I talked to your Dad about
it, and we're in agreement.

I will not let you not leave
The Movement.

It's conversion therapy.

This cannot be the only way.

I'm sorry, man.

- I want to take the ODE.
- That test is outdated.

You don't know the things
I've done,

and the people I come from.

There's a tree,
and there's a boy.

He's chasing me,

and has a head of sandy hair.

And then my father calls for me
to come inside.

And it's over.

You are full of light.

Does he have to die?

Yes. Eddie has to die
so we can live.

I never saw a Garden.

I can show you what I saw.

Easy. Easy.
The enucleation went well.

You're gonna be fine...
I saw it.

The end...

and finally I know.

I know how it's going to happen.

Are you sure?
You've been heavily sedated.

I know The Light's message.

It is coming.

Any questions?

You know my people can read,
right?

But you will find most won't.
Or don't.

Frankly, I'm surprised
that you even did.

Well, I care about them.

I have no interest
in challenging

that assertion, Mr. Lane.

Well, it's important to me

that you know it.

- Okay.
- Look, I hired you

to make sure that we don't
get hit with bogus lawsuits,

but this basically says
that you have to sign

your life away to walk
through the door.

You are a growing
corporate entity

which means...
No. No.

We are a group of people

that are coming together
to seek a better life...

Fine. A growing, faith-based,
corporate entity then.

These people.

My people.

They trust me with
their spiritual well-being,

their families,
their best interests.

This document does not service
those interests.

You hired us
to keep you protected.

This keeps you protected.

Well, at the very least,
I think we can remove

clauses 15 through 21, 23...

Do you want to know
how the Scientologists

avoid scandal every other week?

Better lawyers.

Or the ever regenerating
Catholic Church?

Better lawyers.

Have your people sign it
or don't,

but this is why you hired me.

We're the better lawyers.

My next appointment is waiting.

The world is full of crap.

Crap you buy, crap you eat,
crap you breathe.

We're gonna release all that.

All that toxic Damage...
Let it out!

Now hold it. Hold it!

Breathe out.
Light-headed, dizzy.

Making yourself completely empty

for one last refreshing
breath in.

Gather it, good, pure,
clean air.

And...

Yeah.

Hey.

Mind if I walk with you?
Sure.

Vera. Vera Asan.

- Stephens.
- Right, right, right.

What's going on?

- Follow me.
- Why?

Did something happen?

No, no, no.

Just I have something
to show you.

Recognize it?

Yeah, you were running.

Being chased.

Laughing like you rarely
laughed.

Around a tree.

The only tree in an open field.

And, uh, the light

came through the leaves

making a kaleidoscope
of patterns.

Here... that was here?

I didn't know where it was.

I didn't even know
if it was real.

Most of my early childhood
is just a blank.

Yeah.

But there was a boy,

boy with sandy hair chasing you.

Boy who rarely laughed.

You.

- Then your father...
- Vera!

Called for you to come inside.

Steve is your father.

Who are you?

Steve's daughter.

Why are you here?

I was here the same reason
you are.

Dad.

Are you gonna tell him?

It's a door.

Eddie walks through it,

he starts to know who Steve is,

questions are asked, and maybe
they come round to me,

what happened with Steve.

Eddie will end this.

The Movement.

And it's going so well.

For me. For Mary.

It can't end, not yet.

No.

No... yes, you're right.

I don't want it to end either.

I should go.

But Vera.

I have so many questions.

Who's your mother?

Is she here?

She died.

A long time ago.

I have a daughter.

Where is she?

We had a falling out.
She doesn't speak to me.

I'm sorry.
What happened?

It's none of my business.
You must be exhausted.

I wasn't the easiest mother.

I'm sure my kids feel the same.

Thank you for coming to get me.

I deeply appreciate it.

It's selfish on my part.
I still have questions.

- Go on.
- What I saw during the ritual.

The...

The black rain,

the darkness, the despair,
is that where we're headed?

It is.

Steve told us about
The Future, but seeing it...

I'd like to show you
something else.

You're preparing...

For life after the end.

Yes. For those who know
The Truth.

- How many are there?
- Enough.

All over the world.

And the weapons?

In case we need to protect
ourselves.

What happens to everybody
else? Those who...

aren't ready to believe?

They die.

Who'd want to survive?
Outlive everybody they love?

It's a difficult choice...

Shouldn't you be telling
more people?

Everyone knows that the Earth
is a ticking time bomb.

We're lucky if there's
a handful of centuries

before the ice caps melt
or the asteroids strike.

That's if the next world war
doesn't get us first.

And many choose to turn
their backs on The Truth.

When the fire comes,

those despicable forces that
sicken and darken the thoughts

of the men of our planet
will be consumed.

And the new world will be one

we wish our children
would be born into.

It's a world without pain
or suffering,

without war, without fear...
That's what happens next.

That's the choice
all of your followers make.

Yes. There may not be a
Garden of eternity in the sky,

but there will be one here,
on Earth,

and we will build it.

Read it and then sign here
that you're cool.

It's a liability thing,
everyone has to sign it.

It's just like the thing
you sign

when you go to a new yoga
or pilates studio.

Oh, okay.

Wait, this is like 25 pages
of stuff you have to sign away.

Anything we write "in the
building or on the compound,

is property
of The Meyerist Movement?"

Eddie wouldn't ask us
to sign something like that.

Would he?

Hey.
What's going on?

Thank you for meeting me.
I know this isn't ideal.

I don't understand

what couldn't have waited
until later.

I found her.

I found Lilith.

Sarah. What are you doing?

You're not even a Meyerist
anymore.

But I... I am in a way.

Of The Movement,
before Steve went and changed

and modernized things.

Look, is that what you're
doing here? Huh?

Tell me that I'm not doing
things right?

You made that pretty clear
in France.

No, I'm here to ask you
to see her, to talk with her.

I've grown to believe that she

is our earliest
and deepest roots.

Okay. Look, if she wants
to meet with me,

the door to my office
is always open.

No, she won't. She won't.
She's scared.

Steve threatened her.

Okay. No.

Okay, I'm not doing this.

Okay, Steve would never
threaten anyone.

Look, I'm just asking you
to sit down with her

and talk with her.

She has a different story
of the beginning.

And the end.

And you believe her?

I don't know. Yes.

Enough to want to hear more.

To know more.

Well I know what I need to know.

You chose to leave.

You shouldn't even be here.

This is a place for believers.

Our only doctrine

is to love your neighbor
like you love yourself.

For many of you folks,
that is... a lot.

There is neither Jew nor Greek,

there is neither slave nor free,

there is no male and female,

for you are all one
in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:28.

Let us keep this in our hearts

as we approach our fellow man.

Welcome home.

Peace.

Thank you.

I haven't seen you here before.

It's my first time.

Well, welcome.

It's always good to see
a fresh face.

I'm on the new members
committee.

Can I ask you what brought you
to Unity Church today?

- - Google.
- - Okay. Cool.

I'm curious. What terms did
you put in your search?

Um, Christian.

Gay. Accepting.

Loud and clear.

We resemble all of those.

I think you'll like it here.
Oh, it's not for me.

I know how that sounds,
"It's for a friend,"

but in this case it is.

He's a Christian,
and he's been struggling,

trying to find a place
where he can belong, and...

I think if I don't find him
one then...

I might lose him, so...

Sorry.

You know, my whole childhood

I went to a church
that preached the gospel

of sin and punishment.

And I thought, when I grow up

I'm gonna find a way to preach
what I see in the Bible,

create a sacred space for those
who want God and Jesus

but don't want the whole
burning in hell

for all eternity thing.

And hey, we've got donuts.

So... would you like a donut?

Uh, no, no. I mean I should
probably...

Go.
Hey, you know,

I know that God is love.

And God sees his reflection
in us

when we truly love ourselves.

Authentically.

Don't let anybody tell you

or your friend any different.

Thank you.

I want to thank you, Cal.

We managed to avoid

paying out millions of dollars
in that lawsuit

and hopefully made ourselves

less vulnerable for the future.

Well, I wish I could say
I was responsible.

Well, you know, I couldn't
have done it

without your support.
And Vera's Rolodex.

Rolodex?

What? Isn't that what you
called it in the olden days?

No, you're absolutely right.
You know what?

To Vera's Rolodex.

- Thank you.
- But I told Eddie

that you only want to use
a lawyer

like that as last resort.

Don't want to get into the
habit of making bad choices

just because you can get
out of it.

I heard Sarah stopped by today.

Sarah was at the center?

- What's the gossip?
- Heated showdown.

What did she want?

There's this woman, Lilith,

that, uh, you know the person

that I asked you to
help me find, well...

Sarah found her and she wants
me to sit down with her.

Who is she?

Sarah believes that she wrote
The Ladder with Steve.

Whoa. That's a big claim.

Do you know anything about her?

No. No, I don't remember
a Lilith.

Are you... are you going
to meet her?

- I don't know.
- Why wouldn't you?

Now, that's exactly
what Sarah said.

Sorry.

Honestly, I don't know
if I'm not meeting with her

because I'm just
so pissed at Sarah,

or it's because it's just
so outlandish.

Sure, but I mean,
aren't you interested?

Well, the more
The Movement grows,

the more crazy people are gonna
come out of the woodwork

and with these kind
of stories too.

I think you should shut it down.

Look, you don't have to do this.

Here, I'll help. I'll help.

Can you bring more vino, please?

Thank you, you guys.

I was hoping we could talk more.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Here.

Maybe we can help each other.

I don't want to remember
anything.

Why? Why? Did...

Did Steve...

No.

No.

But you didn't remember the
tree so how can you be sure?

Well, I think I would
remember something like that.

I didn't.

It's just, um...

There's so much that I've lost.

Steve had a place

with painted flowers...
Does that sound familiar?

I can't talk about this.

Neither can you.

But if you really want to keep

this whole damn thing
from falling apart,

don't let him meet Lilith.

Wait, wait, stop right there.

She's saying that she wrote
The Ladder in 1973,

but he didn't have
the visions till '74.

You guys still talking
about this?

Yeah.

Yeah, but that changes
everything.

I mean, you have
to meet with her.

What if he ripped
the whole thing off?

You know what? Fuck that.

Look, the past is the past.

Do what you want,
but what I admire about you,

Eddie, is... is you look forward.

Maybe it's time to put Steve
and...

all the infighting and everyone
who came with him behind us.

The generation that's coming
to The Movement

is coming for you.

This is not Sarah's Movement,

or Steven Meyer's anymore.

It's yours.

Cal.

Cal.

Forest was fussing.

What was that about last night
at dinner?

- Huh, what?
- With Eddie.

About saying that you think
he's the future.

Um...

I was just buttering him up.

It's what he wanted to hear.

Well, it sounded like you
meant it.

Like you believed in him.

No, I was trying to get you
to stop talking about Lilith.

There's stuff that
you don't know.

The last thing we need
is for Eddie

to find out that Steve
isn't who he thinks he is.

We need this to keep going,
at least a little while longer.

What do you know about Lilith?

I don't. But if...

I'm being cautious.

- What are you writing?
- Oh, nothing, just, uh,

doing an exercise.
What kind of exercise?

Um...

Have you ever found yourself

remembering things
that you've blocked out?

It's awful.

Well, I've been researching
how the brain works,

and did you know that almost
every memory

you've ever had in your whole
life is available to you.

It's just a matter of learning
to access it.

And, you know,
there are techniques.

Projected drawing,

recognition and recall, some
people recommend light therapy.

I think that if the brain
has forgotten something,

then it's probably
for a good reason.

Maybe we should go to therapy.

And what? Some 4R straps us
to the Meyer Machine...

Not... not Meyerist therapy.
Real therapy.

For real couples
in the real world.

We don't believe in that.

Are we Meyerists?

Or not? Because, you know,
I'm having trouble keeping up.

What are you doing here?
This isn't a good idea.

Is it a family celebration?

Kind of. Yeah.

It's a going away party,
isn't it?

Please, Hawk.

Please, I... Look, I promise
that I'll call you later.

I'm not... I'm not trying
to get you in trouble.

Honestly, I'm not.

I just want you to reconsider
this, going away.

What if there's another way?
There isn't.

I told you
there is no other way.

Look, my whole family is here
supporting me on this.

You can't just, like,
come in and expect...

I found a place. Okay?
I found this place.

It's a Christian church
where you can have your faith

and you can be yourself,
your true self.

Excuse me. Young man.

Pastor Billy.

I don't believe we've had
the pleasure.

I know you know
who I am already.

Skip the niceties, then.

What are you doing
on my property?

I want you to reconsider
sending Caleb to some therapy

that's illegal
and completely wrong.

I respect your religion, I...

Caleb, are we sending you away?

Or are you making a choice?

For the good of your family
and your soul?

I'm making a choice.

Why?

Why would you choose a religion

that would never
choose you to begin with.

That makes no sense
when you can have all of it...

- Young man, I don't need...
- I'm not talking to you!

I'm talking to your son.

It's not just
about the religion, Hawk.

It's about my family.

It's everything.
I will lose everything.

You shouldn't have come here.

Look, just try it, okay?

It's on Thursday nights.
Unity Church.

All are welcome, all are loved
for who you are,

not for who he wants you to be.

I'll be there.

He will not be joining you.

Because Caleb has decided to

follow the path
of righteousness,

through Christian therapy.

Your son has a beautiful soul,

and you will never see it!

You're the one that's going
to Hell, not him.

-
- Are you okay, babe?

Need some help?

It's my dad, I got it.

Should we begin?

Hey, Hank, just, um,

I want you to know that we miss
you a ton down here.

That's not how it goes.

Look, I know how it goes, okay?

I'm just getting started.
We've been doing this

for 40 years.
You don't just make it up

as you go along...
Honestly, Russel?

This is the first time
I'm doing the Transmutation,

okay? And it's for someone
that I loved deeply.

Okay? It's emotional.
Love deeply.

He's right here.

If you have a problem
with the way I'm doing things...

The Light asks us to do
what's right, not what's easy.

Here.

We thank The Light

for the gift
of this Transmutation.

On this day your body unites
with your soul in The Garden,

and this tree replaces
your earthly form.

We thank The Light for showing
you the path to The Garden

where we will be reunited in
ultimate and everlasting joy.

See you soon, my love.

Hey, Hank.

I'm sure you're keeping things
lively up in The Garden.

I'll see you up there.

We all will.

See you, Dad.

Sorry for...

It's just so hard here
without you.

You were a father to me

when my own disowned me.

I miss you.

Be well, Hank.

We are thankful
for this living organism

that will provide food
and shelter until the end.

We thank you
for your earthly sacrifice

so that those
who remain may continue

to do our work on Earth.

As you bled for us,
we will bleed for you.

Sarah, what the fuck
are you doing?

-
- Hey, what the... Jesus.

It's a ritual
from Lilith's book.

I'm trying it.

I can see how conflicted
you are.

It's hard leading The Movement.

I know 'cause I did it,

and it made me blind to so much.

I also know you want to do it
right, so I am begging

you to see where we came from,

to meet Lilith.

- Vera.
- Mom.

What... what happened?

I had it... I had to have it
removed.

Are you okay?

They say I can have it
replaced with a glass one.

They're so well made now
that it's almost impossible

to tell the difference.

And the cancer?

I'll have a follow-up MRI,

make sure it's all gone.

I hope so.

I hope it's over.

Thank you. Me too.

So...

I hear you befriended
Sarah Lane.

She wanted to hear the message.

And you told her?

- Yes.
- Everything?

Not everything.

So she doesn't know
that Eddie dies?

- I've missed you so...
- Mm-mm, no, Mom.

No, I'm not here for that.
For you.

I've become a Meyerist.

And I'm doing my 1R now.

Is this because of the burn
on your back?

I told you that I...
Yeah, you were sick.

They made you sick.
I know.

You're my daughter.

I wanted you to know the truth.

To see it for yourself, Vera...
I was six!

I didn't ask to know anything.
Everything I did

it's been to guide you,
to love you, keep you safe.

You scarred me,

and you left me at the compound
with my father.

And if I could take
that away, believe me...

He was good to me.

I remember things.

He wouldn't have had anything
to do with you

if I had been in the picture.

What is this? Did you wish
that I had let you live with him?

I don't want to talk
about the past anymore.

I don't care about the past.

In fact, I want to move
forward, okay?

So if you really care about me

like the way you keep saying
you do,

then just let this whole thing
with Sarah go.

I can't control
what other people want.

Of course you can!

We both know you can.

Now if Eddie comes to you,
you turn him away.

You and Eddie.

He's gonna die soon.

I saw it.

The end. It is upon us.

I don't want to listen
to your poison anymore.

- I saw it.
- I don't care!

I don't care
what you think you saw.

I don't care what you think

about me, about Eddie, about us.

He doesn't even know
who you are.

You can't keep that hidden
forever.

'Cause you're gonna tell
Sarah everything, right?

Because he is a smart man,
and he deserves to know.

And if he finds out on his own,

he will despise you
for lying to him.

You will despise yourself.

The only thing
that might save you

is if the end comes first...

And if it does, so what?

I'll be in The Garden.
With Eddie.

When he does come, and he will,

the fact that you're my daughter

will be the least
of his problems.

When he finds out
what he's selling,

and for whom, the end has
already begun.

I read the contract,
the one Russel was upset about.

Yes, okay, have a seat.

I can't begin to understand

what it is to be you or Steve,

someone who has to lead the way,

but I do understand this faith
in my bones.

"Anyone who says anything
disparaging about The Movement

"can be removed at any time,

"and their personal property
may be withheld

for as long as
The GOL deems necessary?"

This is not what I believe in.

I know that this seems
extreme, okay?

But with a growing Movement,
these measures are necessary.

I have been so up in arms
about Sarah's behavior

I haven't been listening
to a word she's been saying.

Maybe she's right.

Maybe things are headed
in the wrong direction.

We're losing ourselves.
No, Gaby.

This is progress.

Okay? I know that change
can be hard.

You call it progress,
I call it loss.

All I know is Hank, my husband,
the guy you care about so much?

He would never have signed
this. And neither will I.

Gaby, can we...

I need you to know I don't
believe in any of this.

Freudian analysis, cognitive
behavioral psychotherapy,

EMDR, they don't work.

Have you ever experience any
of those types of therapies?

No, but I've done a great
deal of study,

and I'm not interested.
I don't want to be "shrunk."

What are you hoping

to accomplish in our work
together?

Right. I'm realizing that
I've forgotten... blocked out

a lot of my life.

So I thought you could help me
with that.

But this is not... I'm not
interested

in a long-term relationship.

I want the tools, and then I'm
capable of doing it on my own.

My wife doesn't know I'm here.

I won't be able to come often.

Is there a reason you didn't
share this with your wife?

No, she's actually not my wife.

She's the mother of my son.
How old is your son?

He's 13 months,

but he's not... we don't need
to talk about him here.

Um... my partner,

I do love her.

It's complicated.

She's annoyed with me
because we work together

and we were planning
to branch out on our own.

May I ask what you do?

We're in the personal
coaching business.

We work for a well-established
organization.

And you were planning
to branch out on your own,

but...?

Now I think I belong where I am.

You know, I've had
some recent news.

Um, the thing I remembered
about the past.

And Mary... I haven't told her
what I remembered.

Would you like to tell me?

Yeah, I have a sister.

Who I didn't know about.

But actually I realize
I did know about her.

And she's not really a sister,
not by blood.

It just feels as if she is
because the man who adopted me

was her biological father.

Sorry.
Are you writing this down?

I'd very much prefer you didn't.

It's just for me.

But if you feel strongly,
I don't have to.

So are you familiar

with any projective techniques?

Say in drawing, to unlock
the unconscious?

If you feel
that would be of value.

Well, the point is...

The point is please just tell
me if you can help me or not.

Because if you can't,
let's not waste our time.

We can work together.

But there isn't a quick fix.

Delving into your past
takes hard work,

and it can be painful.
I'm prepared for that.

So how do I... how do I do it?

How do I remember
what I've forgotten?

We can talk about your past,
and your sister,

your current job, Mary,
whatever else you like.

But I think it might help us
to explore

why you blocked so much
of your history.

Any idea?
Um...

You okay?

You didn't make it
to Grandpa's Transmutation.

I went to Caleb's house.
I thought I could be an adult.

But I just... I completely
lost my shit, and...

How can... how can someone
who preaches love

as the answer to everything
be so hateful?

Are you sure you want to talk
to the pariah about this?

The pariah is the only person
I want to talk to about this.

I found this place called
Unity Church,

and I just think if he saw it,
he would see

that he could have his beliefs
and just live his life.

So what about you?
Are you a Meyerist?

In some ways...

No. And in some ways...

more than I ever was.

That makes no sense.

I know.

I owe you an apology.

What Caleb's dad is doing to him

is what I did with you,
didn't I?

With Ashley.

I wish somebody would have
told me when I was younger

that you didn't have to be one
way or the other.

I know.

I mean, I didn't expect myself
to fall in love with...

Someone like Caleb.

So you're already one step
ahead.

I just hope he gives it a shot.

Unity.

It's a really special place,
and...

I want him to know...

That he's perfect the way he is.

You think he'll show up?

I really hope so.

Hey.

How was your day?

Yeah. It was good.

You okay?

Lilith's diary.

Yeah.

It doesn't make any sense.

You know, Sarah was right.

There is a relationship in here.

It was deep and intense.

It started in '73.

And then Steve wrote a little
later about heartbreak.

"I have to let her go,

"even though it means letting
go of the child forever,

I turn my prayers to the son."

I don't know.

All of this, it's...

It's my fault.

What?
Hey.

What are you talking about?

If I never told her
that Sarah was looking for her

and if Sarah had
never found her,

she'd be out of our lives.

Eddie.

Lilith is my mother.

Wha... what?

She's my mother.

She's also very sick
and obsessed,

which is why Steve
had to let her go.

"I have to let her go,

even though it means letting
go of the child."

She was convinced my father
stole her dreams.

Wait, wait. Your father?

Wait.

You're telling me

that Steve is your father?

I didn't know much
about my childhood

except what she told me
until I came here.

Why did you come here?

I didn't mean to lie to you.

Just help me understand.

- What I feel for you...
- Stop!

Just help me understand.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Who the fuck are you?

Answer me.

My... my mother Lilith,
she sent me here

to help destroy what Steve
stole from her.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

No, that doesn't make any sense.

You helped me.
You helped us grow!

Meyerism is bigger,
stronger than ever.

The higher Meyerism climbs,
the greater the fall.

Oh, you've got to be fucking
kidding me.

Eddie, you have to understand,

my entire life she told me
how evil Steve was.

Evil?

She... she told me that
over and over again.

How Steve's bastardized religion

would bring about
the end of the world.

It's all I ever knew and I ever
heard until I came here and...

And? What?

That woman, my... she's
fucking crazy.

She burned me, she scarred me,

and she told me things,
things that I believed

until I came here and I met you.

Why are you telling me
all of this now?

Why now?

Oh...

Because I'm... I'm going
to meet her.

And then she's going
to tell me everything.

That's why.

Because...

Because I want you to know me.

No one ever has.

And...

To beg you to please
not see her.

She will ruin you.

Cal was right. Just look
forward to the future.

I'm telling you this
because I know it.

And because...

And just do with me
whatever you want.

Please don't see her.

What's going on here?

All the memories are in there.

In the cave
with the painted flowers.

I just need to find it.

Eddie.

Hey. Where is she?

I just tried calling her.
She's not picking up.

She came out of surgery,
and I'm...

I'm worried something's
happened.

Look, tell her I want to talk
to her immediately.

Thank you, Eddie.

I'm not doing this for you.

I'm doing this for me.

Whenever she can,
I will come to her.
