Original subtitles

Previously on Three Moons. The path is about transforming ourselves so that we

put our energy into finding our own happiness.

Uh, Dee, we built your high school steering committee meets here Friday

don't forget.

During the Blue Moons Festival?

Well, whose idea was that?

Mine. Well, where's the romance in that?

I told everybody we'd be out in plenty of time.

Go home, put on a suit. We're showing a house at ten o 'clock.

My mom left.

He's gone.

Did Jonah stay at your place last night?

He slept on the couch. I have room.

In silent prayer for the departed.

Be seated.

Daddy gave us all so much.

He taught me how to bow hunt and smelt fish, two activities I still enjoy

He was the only person in the family who would go on roller coasters with me.

And he would always say, Bon Bon, never let anyone stop you from chasing your

rainbows.

I loved him very much.

But... Blake Fitzgerald was not my father.

In fact, I'm pretty certain that my real father is Mr. Feeney, the speech

pathologist at the junior high. Don't deny it, Mother. I saw the letters, and

I'm a spitting image.

Anyhow, the reason that I bring this up now is because, frankly, I don't think

it's fair I have to split the cost of the funeral with you guys. He's your

not mine.

And there's another reason, too.

She's marrying the priest.

He's her first cousin on what she thought was her father's side. This kind

changes the picture.

What?

Miss Bonnie should have worked a little harder on her math.

She saved on the funeral, but lost her inheritance.

Yeah.

Love heals all wounds, but it can be an ass -biter.

Morning, all.

What can I get you, Father?

Not a priest anymore, Ted.

Just coffee, though. Okay.

So I understand congratulations are in order.

Yes.

Thank you.

What about us?

I'm sorry, Millie?

What about us Catholics, Father?

I saw very well that you've liberated yourself from the cloth and found love,

but where's that Levi?

Who do we give confession to now?

The diocese is trying to find someone.

What about in the meanwhile?

You could confess to each other.

What?

We may all be arriving in God's house sooner than we expected.

What do we want the state of our souls to be on that day?

Burned by secrets or cleansed by the truth?

The truth has truly set me free.

Maybe it will for all of you.

So you're saying that we should confess our sins to each other? Why not?

You do them to each other.

Next step.

Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one.

What can I do for you, sir?

This isn't my Santa.

Okay. I took it from the Milford display last Christmas.

I stole it.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Mrs. Santa was left all alone in the sleigh.

People thought it was a feminist statement.

Well, like Father Fitz said, it's time to come clean.

With the moon and all, so here I am.

Okay.

So that's it? You're not going to fine me or kick my butt or something?

Well, no.

What you did was dishonest, but you made it right by confessing.

So just have a good day.

I thought you'd make my basement look jolly, but...

It was so not jelly to see him after a couple months.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Mac. What are you doing here?

Oh,

you're all sweaty.

Yep. I brought some food for Jonah. I have food.

Now you have more. How is he?

Well, when I left, he was still sleeping in.

Oh, good.

Doesn't that taste like plastic?

Oh, it's fine.

I can't believe Sarah Louise expects you to take care of him.

Oh, well, that's what she said in her note. I've been trying to get in touch

with his dad, but he's not returning my calls, so I'm just going to look after

him for a little bit.

How are you going to do that? You can't keep a fish alive.

I don't know. I'll manage.

That poor boy.

Sarah Louise should be strung up by her halter top.

I brought some food for him.

Hey, Jonah.

Oh, hey. How'd you sleep?

Oh, great, thanks.

You've met my mom. Hi.

So nice to see you, Jonah. Can I get you some breakfast?

Oh, no, it's okay. I actually am kind of late.

Would you mind if I borrow that extra bike that you talked about?

Yeah, sure. Late for what?

Oh, just meeting some people.

Oh, okay. What people?

Friends. They'll feed me.

I'll see you guys later.

The bike's in the garage?

Yeah, yeah, hold on. I'll get you a lock.

Oh, don't worry about it. I'll probably just, uh...

Carry with me, thanks. Okay, what time are you going to be getting back?

Not too late.

All right, well, let me know if you want to take a ride in the morning.

Yeah, probably not, but thanks.

Who are his friends? He hasn't been here long.

I don't know.

How can you not know?

I'm not his father.

You know, if you'd get your head out of the clouds and your plow in the field, I

could have a real grandchild.

Where did that come from?

I don't know.

Hi, Ted.

Chief.

Grilled cheese mini gherkins. Not today.

I wondered if I could make an announcement.

Okay, yeah, sure.

What kind of announcement?

I just, I need to talk to the town. I figured this was the place. Okay, no

problem.

Attention, everybody.

Chief Wolchuk would like to make an announcement. If everybody could just

up.

Thank you.

Good morning, everyone.

I just want to start by saying that these past few months as Milford Chief

Police have just been the proudest of my life.

But there's something I need you to know.

The night I graduated from the police academy, my fellow probies and I went

to McCain's Pub and we got a little tipsy, okay, hammered, and

we took some things from the bar.

Our beer mugs.

I took this one.

Home. And I never brought it back.

I stole this mug from McCain's pub.

So, now you know.

And, uh, I mean, if you don't want me to be your chief anymore or whatever, I

completely understand.

Now, for God's sake, Grace, ease up.

I've got four brandy snifters and a Guinness sign from the gas lamp.

I started my own business with stuff I lifted from the gas lamp.

Wedding rentals.

Put myself through school.

Hey, come on. I mean, who here hasn't lifted a little something from this

right?

Hey, uh, it's not funny.

People feel stressed. Maybe it's healthy to clear the air.

Well, if you got anything you want to get off your chest, I'm open. Gee,

Kleptomania, got a short corduroy, maybe you dinged a car in a parking lot,

didn't leave a note. I'm here for you. You first.

Oh, no, you first. No, you.

Maybe some little tidbit about you and Sarah Louise.

Have you heard anything from her?

From who?

Nope. Thin air.

Bonafide vanishing act. And how's Jonah? I haven't seen him lately.

I thought maybe you'd seen him around. No, I haven't.

With Lydia?

No.

How much do you keep track of kids, anyway?

Pre - or post -moons.

Okay, so I'm going to tell this couple you're in training.

You are a greenhorn, so they're going to relate to you. That puts you in the

perfect position to ooh.

To ooh.

Ooh, ah.

Okay. Look, there's a trash compactor, that kind of thing. And if they should

notice a defect, then you slam them with the positive.

There's an apple tree. Think of the pie.

All right. Now, you have to be them. This couple's from Maine, so follow

lead. You are who they are.

Here you go.

Hello. Hi. Hi, how are you?

Now, did you know that 80 % of the homes in this neighborhood are in the

historic register?

Really? I love that.

And look at the inlaid Victorian tile here. All original, circa 1890s.

The pocket panel doors.

And this is the original picture rail.

Nothing from the mall here.

Ooh, ooh.

That's incredible craftsmanship. Don't get that anymore.

And have you ever seen a more classic lemonade porch?

Summer evenings out there reading Rumi, playing a little Peruvian flute,

perhaps?

Honey?

I'm just a little worried it might get drafty in the winter.

Oh, it'll get more than drafty because there's no heat upstairs of any kind.

Which is very common in houses around here from the late 19th century.

Seriously, I think you should consider putting your offer in. Since the moons,

everyone is so nostalgic for these old houses.

That heat thing is an easy fix. You just run a baseboard upstairs.

No problem.

We want to buy the house.

From you.

We really appreciate your honesty.

Yeah, you know, home buying is just such a leap of faith, so... Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Okay.

Bye.

Okay, Abby Caden is leaving $10 ,000 to a Pomeranian.

Where does that go on the form?

I see a place for people and for charities, but not for dogs.

You know, I still don't have a good answer as to why Jonah's dad sent him to

that brat camp in Utah.

Good, I'll put that down.

Um, she's got to leave the money to a person who acts as a trustee for the

There's a section for trustees there.

Oh, thanks.

What do you mean a brat camp?

You know, the school where they sent Jonah.

It's a... Place they send troubled kids.

Lydia's going to the prep school.

Is Jonah troubled?

I'm sure he has, you know, issues.

Yeah.

You don't want that house.

No curb appeal, too near the train, and oh, the cellar. Forget about it. One

spring flood and whoosh, there goes Grandma.

Well, I think we can live with that.

Super.

We really appreciate your honesty about the houses. It's very reassuring. Isn't

it remarkable?

You won't find that everywhere, but here at Graybar Realty, we tell it like it

is. Would you like more coffee?

Thanks.

Alice, this honesty idea is brilliant.

Telling the truth is like the new volume.

Oh, I've got a meeting.

Where? Mitch and Mindy's.

Did you tell them we hugged? Yeah.

And?

And what?

They didn't kick you out.

No. Were they mad?

They're not like that.

You think that it's some kind of mind control called or something, and it's

I didn't say that.

Do you want to hang out?

I've got to go.

Are you mad at me?

No, I've just got some stuff going on.

What stuff?

Some past stuff.

Okay, I gotta go.

What's this?

It's an advance for my paycheck.

Not to give me that.

Well, I can afford it.

I have a good job.

I'm working for Michelle Graybar.

Michelle? Gray bar?

That is absurd.

That is so wrong for you.

Well, I'm good at it. I sold a house today. I mean, you sold a house?

Yeah. Yeah, I passed the exam. I'm going to get a $10 ,000 commission on a

house.

That would be wonderful for someone with half your IQ.

Well, I like it. I feel challenged.

I felt like... I felt like I was using about 1 % of my brain in high school.

But in this job, there's math and there's psychology, there's strategy.

I'm helping people get into good homes.

It's much more satisfying than studying for the SATs.

Michelle Gravar?

Mm -hmm.

She'll snatch at your soul.

You wouldn't believe the cafe today.

The craziness in this town.

I mean, lie, heartache, betrayal,

felonies, and just plain weirdness.

It's unbelievable.

There you are, babe. Hi.

Hey there, sweetheart.

Yeah.

Crazy, crazy stuff.

Hey, Jack. Hey.

Who's that with Jonah?

I don't know, but he tried to order his milkshake vegan.

Hey, Jonah.

What's up? Oh, Mac.

This is my friend Mitch.

Hi. Hey, man. Great to finally meet you.

Yeah, you too.

You guys know each other from school?

School of life.

What are you, a coach or a teacher or something?

Oh, I met Mitch and his wife Mindy through some mutual friends in Utah.

They run a kind of discussion group.

Actually, we were having a conversation.

Oh, what were you guys talking about?

Truth is, it's personal.

Mitch was just helping me sort out some of the things about my mom.

Oh, okay, so you're a therapist.

If you want to learn about us, here's a contact at our website and literature.

We'll see you later, Jonah Day.

Jonah Dias?

Why did he call you Jonah Dias?

Group thing.

Mitch. The path.

What's the path?

You know, that was really embarrassing.

I think it's really embarrassing that Mitch doesn't have a last name.

Well, I don't know why you should care.

I just feel like I have a responsibility.

You're not responsible for me.

You're not.

Well, that's great, Lou.

Okay.

Not if I get your pants down first.

Bye -bye.

Call that granola couple from Maine. Their offer's been accepted.

Oh, that's great.

Yep. They'll be knitting with hemp in their new authentic home in no time. I

kind of like that house. I wonder why it didn't go faster.

Well, you know how people are. The murder.

Bunch of sissies.

What murder?

Back in the 70s.

A psychotic drifter broke in and stabbed a couple in their bed.

There was so much blood, it actually dripped down through the living room

ceiling.

Thank God I didn't have to make the first sale on that sucker.

Well, we have to tell them.

Pardon? Well, legally, we have to disclose that there was a murder in the

Look, Beaver, this honesty thing is a tool, not a rule. Don't be ridiculous.

Yeah, but if we don't... Call the couple and tell them they got their house.

Okay. End of story.

Now, Alex, if you want to sell houses and make big, fat commissions...

Hi,

Hannah? It's Alex from Michelle Graybar Realty.

Yeah.

I have something to tell you.

Congratulations, you got the house.

Just as there is a reason and a logic to all things on the primary planetary

artifactual plane, there are declinations of reality that supersede

subcosmic phenomena and require the attention and bonded action of those who

primordially infused with the knowledge of things to come.

Is that even English?

I think it's a fraternity for lost souls who like big words. Can you imagine

their group song?

I think it's really creepy.

Seems you have to be a member to get into any of the forums or chat rooms.

It's probably just family for Jonah, you know? Maybe it's harmless.

Oh.

Oh, here's a bulletin board for the Milford chapter.

We're having a garden work day, Spring Street, this afternoon.

Maybe they grow organic vegetables.

I don't like that look. What are you going to do?

I don't know.

You need to stay calm.

I'm calm. Be open. I'm open. I'm serious.

Parenting lesson number one. Yeah, I know.

Oh, wow.

Hi.

Hey.

You should probably sit, you know, over there.

Are you making fun of me?

No, I'm trying to respect you, but I want you to tell me about the past.

We're having a work day today.

You could come along.

Should that be okay?

Sure.

Shouldn't you get now?

Might as well wait till they're done.

I bet there's only one clean up.

Confession is a messy business.

Oh, here's one.

I like my husband's money more than I like my husband.

Ouch. People are drawn to the truth like fruit flies to a guava.

And I bet your new confessions page doesn't hurt circulation either.

But you know they're cheating, right? These people who are writing in?

How's that?

I'm not signing their names.

How's that confessing? Well, not everyone's comfortable with full -on

exposure. Then you don't get a clean soul.

Confession takes gut.

Maybe these people over here?

face to face with marinara all over themselves.

They're the ones that deserve a common promotion.

Well, I think it's all going in the right direction.

What's that?

A deposit box.

Thought it might be handy for people.

Do you mind?

Not at all.

I'll enjoy all the people trying to flip one in without anyone noticing.

Hey, you should try it, Ted.

Let it all hang out.

No, thanks.

Have a good day.

Jonah. What are you doing here? Is that Lydia?

Hi, Mark.

I thought I'd see what you guys are up to.

Why are you here?

Well, I was reading about the path on the website and it looked interesting,

I thought I'd check it out.

We should be welcoming, Jonah.

Hi. You want to lend a hand?

I didn't mean to be rude the other day when we met. It's just Jonah and I were

deep into it.

So what are you guys up to? The website said something about a garden. Where's

the flowers?

Japanese garden.

Trying to take a little something from Zen and make it work for us.

Five o 'clock.

Hi, I'm Mitch's wife, Mindy.

Hi.

Time.

Guys, it's time for sharing circle.

All right, who wants to start?

Sheila.

Thanks, Mitch.

As a lot of you know, I've been dealing with depression for most of my adult

life. But with the help of the path, I realized that I don't need select

serotonin reuptake inhibitors to block my negative emotions.

I just need the teachings that the path has given me to regulate.

what I am thinking and how I am feeling.

So I'm off my meds.

You should probably check with your doctor before you do that.

And how's that working for you?

Well, there's some side effects still.

The insomnia and the migraines, the blurred vision and the constipation.

I cry for no reason.

In the long run.

I don't want to listen to this woman's private stuff.

Whatever medication she's on, she probably needs it.

Let's see what our guest has to share. Mac?

What? I said next.

We hopefully will be hearing from Mac.

You know, I'm good.

Thanks. Jonah has spoken at length about his mom. Why don't you talk about Sarah

Louise's abandonment of the two of you from your perspective?

Well, you know, there's not really much to talk about. We gave it a shot. Didn't

work.

Didn't she cheat on you with your best friend?

You told him about that stuff, huh?

I mean, that must have raised some issues for you.

Especially since basically she did the same thing to you in high school.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. This is important to

You asked her to marry you, and she said yes.

And then she skipped town with the ring a week later. I mean, that had to just

burn, huh?

Okay, let's go.

I think you blame yourself for her leaving the first time.

You were trying to fix what went wrong. But if you really want to figure it out,

you're going to have to go deeper. I think that this whole Sarah Louise thing

about you trying to separate from your mother, which is not necessarily a bad

thing. You have an inappropriate closeness. You need to leave my mom out

this. Okay? Don't you think she saw you as a substitute husband after your dad

died? Because... That's it.

Let's go.

Not enjoying the sharing circle.

You can go.

I think I'll stay, but I respect your decision.

Want to dance?

Yeah.

You can go if you want.

I think I'll stay here with Jonah.

Did you sign it?

Your confession, did you put your name on it?

No. Well, then it's not really a confession now, is it?

I can't.

Hey, look, if there's one thing that I've learned this week, it's that a lot

people do a lot of weird things, okay? It's no big deal.

Hell, I do weird things.

Like what?

Well, like a lot of people might think it's weird with the thing I do with my

cat.

I like to put butter on my toes and she licks it off.

I wouldn't even... No.

Wait. It's not... It's not a sexual thing. It's like a foot massage.

I'm on my feet all day.

We both like it.

Ew.

Hold on.

Just try the meatloaf.

Did you find him?

Yep. Was it a vegetable garden?

They said it was a Japanese garden.

Oh, I love Japanese gardens.

What were the people like? Creepy.

You sure you're not being harsh?

Um, let's see. No, they were pretty creepy.

Lydia was there. What do you mean, Lydia was there? I mean, Lydia was there with

Jonah, and I asked... the two of them to come back with me, and they said no.

And that was okay with you?

What was I going to do?

Okay.

So, I just need you to sign on all the red X's.

Okay.

I must say, that was the cleanest inspection report I've ever seen.

That house is like a prom night virgin before the ride home.

Well, yes, we just can't wait to leave Milford.

Well, it's just heaven adjacent.

And as a special treat for our closers, my mother's homemade coffee.

You'll die.

Coffee. I love coffee.

There was a murder in your house.

In the 70s, a couple was stabbed in their bed.

Horrible. A murder?

That was a long time ago, Alex.

Okay. No, no, no. I don't like that. I don't like that. You should have told

No, you loved the house. You said it was a great house.

Okay, I know, but you don't understand. Five is very important to us.

A murder, no.

Oh, for God's sake, the couple didn't even die in the house. They crawled out

the window for help. The wife made it halfway down the street, for God's sake.

Deal's off, Michelle.

Hey. Hey, man.

The paste is in your window.

What? Sorry, Ted.

But the lady down at the bakery asked me to give you that.

Just give me the bread.

They were here.

This doesn't look like a Japanese garden.

You know, try a lady again.

You'd think they'd have some plants or flowers or something.

Japanese gardens sometimes are rocks and pebbles and things, but...

Lydia, where are you?

She's home.

Jonah's there, too.

Oh, yeah, no, we've come looking for you here.

Yeah.

Father Fitz!

Great to see you.

Uh -huh.

What can I get you?

Just a burger and a beer.

Don't serve beer. Sorry.

That's okay.

Joe, what's been going on?

How's Bonnie?

She kicked me out.

I'm staying at Angie's boarding house.

Sorry to hear that.

It was so easy.

I didn't realize.

What's that?

Being a priest.

Listening from the sidelines, never getting down into the mud.

Can I get you a glass for that, or just gonna... Okay, never mind.

You know, I never had a clear picture of hell before.

Just a vague notion.

Bubbling Inferno, taunting devils, the basics.

But I got one now.

It's relationships.

Confession.

If you can check on your burger.

I went to a past work session with Jonah. Why didn't you tell me where you

going? I didn't think it was such a big deal. Is it? I don't know. What did you

do there?

I helped them rake and carry stones in the garden, and then we had a group

session.

Mac said they were really off base with him.

I think they were kind of hard on him, but they're hard on everyone. It's like

what makes it work. It's being honest.

Mac thinks everything's about him. Who is it about, Jonah?

It's about the universe, okay? Your mom leaving is about the universe?

Yeah. If you'd actually take some time to think about it, maybe you would

understand. Do you think it's about the universe?

I think it's interesting. I think we should all be open.

Why does Mitch call you Jonah Dayus?

Again.

Hi, everybody.

Oh, my God.

What? What are you wearing?

Oh, yeah.

I know it's kind of cheesy, but clients like it.

I think I'm going to cry.

I'm leaving.

I'll give you a ride home.

No need. I'm moving in with Mitch.

No, no, you're not. You're not my dad, okay, Mac?

What did you do that you had to go to a special school anyway?

That is none of your business.

Don't look at me, man.

So, are you ready for some more parenting lessons yet?

You know, I think I'll wait until next semester to sign up.

Good idea.

What were we talking about before all this started?

Confessions. Oh, yeah, that's right, confessions.

You know, I have a confession to make.

You do?

Truth is...

I'm glad Sarah Louise left town.

Oh.

Well, good.

Because I have a confession to make, then.

You do?

I'm glad she left, too.

Is that it?

This may be a wine thing.

Wine thing's good.

Hey,

Mom!

I told you I might go visit him at Mitch's house tomorrow. Can I go?

I didn't know you were still here.

Can we talk about this tomorrow?

I was just going to get PB crackers.

You know, I probably should get going.

So I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh. The mother.

Yes. The mother.

How do you do it?

Boy Scouts, church, canings for misquoting the Bible?

I'm sorry? What? How is it that you turned your son into a rigid, misguided

truth puppet?

Well, if my son's truthful, then I'm proud of that.

Right. You would be. But it's no asset in real estate, honey, I can tell you

that. Alex won't be showing any more houses anytime soon.

Where's my little file clerk now?

Well, that's your decision.

Excuse me.

What are the mice for?

My boa.

Don't feel so bad, Ted.

I used to have a very... Okay, stop it.

If you say one more word, you have to pay for the pie.

Hey.

You didn't eat your dinner.

Oh, right, yeah.

Do you want a sandwich or something?

No, thanks.

I was...

I wanted to put more into the housing fund, but I had a small setback.

That's okay.

Although I am thinking of selling my soul.

How much do you think I can get for it?

You should probably hang on to it.

It's a good one.

And with the rates these days,

the value is only going to go up.

Thank God that's over. This whole confession manual would have cost me my

the end. Who needs a town truth -teller when everyone's doing it?

Arthur, my dear, you are funny.

I tell the truth.

Other people's truth, thank goodness.

Where would I be if you told ours?

Square with Mac.

He doesn't want to know, so I punish him.

That's a good point.

Sneaking around is half the fun.

has been revealed in 17 ways.

Splitting out the moon is number 17.

Jonah.

Wow.

It's kind of like a big vacancy sign for aliens.
