[NARRATOR] Previously
on Fellow Travelers...

[TIM] I'm due at Fort Dix in two days.

I have to go. I have to get over you.

Yeah. You do.

[MARCUS] My father's
a brilliant pianist.

Now he's stuck behind
a counter selling shoes.

When he sees something
of mine in the paper,

I know I'm going to get a call from him

telling me how proud he is.

So you're not gonna go
out? Not gonna fall in love?

I just want to be honest with you.

[TIM] The photograph,
Roy did something to it.

I'm one of the most powerful senators

in the history of our nation.

So, Tim, what exactly
did you want to tell me

about some f*cking photograph?

[TIM] Quit my job.

Everything's gone, Hawk.

I don't know what to believe.

I'm going to ask Lucy Smith to marry me.

I guess I don't lie as easily as you do.

Then you won't survive.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[NURSE] Is that all right?

Yeah. Thanks.

There you go.

How you feeling?

I'm surprised.

How so?

I mean, to be alive?

And you're still here.
That surprises me.

[SCOFFS] Well...

Well, that makes two of us.

I've never gotten used to this.

My prison tattoo.

Did you forget that
I'm a convicted felon?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Don't worry, we're just
here for the draft cards.

Ma'am, we need you to stand over here.

[FATHER LAWRENCE] Let's go. Quickly.

I'm sorry, but you can't leave.

Stay there. Thank you.

[FATHER LAWRENCE] Get
as many as you can.

Fill up the bags.

- [TIM] Hey, give me a bag!
- [WOMAN] There's one here.

[TIM] Is it okay?

[FATHER LAWRENCE] We should go.

[MAN] Yeah. Got it.

[FATHER LAWRENCE] Let's go.

- Sorry.
- [FATHER LAWRENCE] Come on.

And thank you.

[FATHER LAWRENCE] We do
this in the name of life.

We do this so that men
will not be made to k*ll.

We offer this prayer

in the name of peace, God and decency.

- Amen.
- [ACTIVISTS] Amen.

- [SIRENS WAILING]
- Our Father,

Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those
who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.

Forever and ever. Amen.

- [MAN] Come here.
- [WOMAN] Okay, let's go.

- [MAN] Let's go.
- [WOMAN] Come on.

[OFFICER ] Party's
over, folks. Come on.

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

- [OFFICER ] Get down!
- [OFFICER ] Come here!

- I got one of them.
- [TIM] Hey. Hey.

[MAN] Let's go. No, we gotta go.

No!

[JACKSON] Kimberly! Kimberly!

Kimberly, give it back.

- [KIMBERLY] I found it.
- [HAWK] Hey, hey, hey.

- [KIMBERLY] Finders keeper!
- I'm on the phone.

- [JACKSON] Give it back.
- I'm on the phone.

- [JACKSON] Give it back!
- [HAWK] Jackson.

- Jackson, let her go.
- [KIMBERLY] No!

She took my guitar pick.

So? You have a hundred guitar picks.

Let her go. Jackson.

[JACKSON] But, Dad...

[SIGHS] Forget it.

[KIMBERLY] Fine, you
want it so bad? Take it.

- [JACKSON] Shut up!
- Sorry about that.

What did he say?

He's grateful for your offer,

but reluctant to accept
for... obvious reasons.

[HAWK] The FBI is involved now.

He needs to get out of Baltimore.

That's what I said.

And your place isn't an option.

[CYNTHIA] Do you need something?

[DONALD] May I have a crossword puzzle?

[CYNTHIA] Oh, here it is.

Definitely not.

Right. I'll wire you the cash.

You make sure he gets
on that bus tomorrow.

[MARCUS] Will do.

Hawk, Tim was curious

how you knew he was in trouble.

Had you been keeping tabs
on him all these years?

[LUCY] Hawk.

Oh. Thanks for letting me know.

Uh, I'll come right up.

[LUCY] I was thinking
of lamb for dinner.

How does that sound?

Great, great. But I won't be here.

I just spoke with the caretaker.

There's no water at the country house.

The pump's broken.

We're supposed to go up this weekend.

Well, we'll go up another time.

It's the Stovers' anniversary.

We're throwing them a party.

Did you forget?

We can't throw a party
if we don't have water.

[LUCY SIGHS] We've
invited a dozen people.

[HAWK] I'll try to get a plumber

working on it as soon as I can.

I'll call you from the house.

Let you know if it's safe to come up.

I really appreciate you being here.

Your father is so proud of you.

He says you're writing a new book.

On the Fair Housing Act.

I was supposed to be out
there in the heat of it all.

But you know what they
say about making plans.

- God laughs.
- He can be so cruel.

[CHUCKLES] I don't mind helping out.

Your folks were always good to me.

And it's been nice seeing you, too.

Like old times.

Maybe you'll let me take
you to dinner sometime.

To thank you.

That would be nice.

[TIM] Where am I, exactly?

[HAWK] It's our country property.

The, uh, main house is a
quarter mile through the woods.

This is Daddy's hunting cabin.

Where you do your hunting.

I manage to bag a buck
every now and then.

So you're in seminary.

Looking to become a priest?

More like a place where you figure out

if you're meant to be one.

So no vow of celibacy then?

Not yet, but I practice it.

Or try to.

I slip now and then.

Not with somebody.

Man's second-best friend.

Hawk, I'm grateful.

But I'm only staying
until I get instructions

from Father Lawrence.

Some of us will be turning ourselves in

to call attention to the cause.

Lawrence?

That the radical priest
who got you into this?

He's my mentor.

When I was in the Army,

I lost faith in almost everything.

He helped me find it again.

What about the vow you took?

I honor it.

By lowering my zipper only occasionally

and only with strangers.

That sounds so empty.

I found you a lawyer.

He's top notch.

You can't go to jail
for something like this.

I don't regret what we've done.

It's an evil w*r.

I'll check in on you later.

Make yourself at home, Father.

- Daddy, we're here.
- Hey.

What a nice surprise.

Oh!

Mommy said you needed some company.

[HAWK] She did, huh?

I wondered where you were.

I had to check the
plumbing at the cabin.

Just got the main line
turned back on this morning.

Mmm. Good timing on our part then.

Perfect.

- Where's Jackson?
- [LUCY] Upstairs, moping.

- Would you check on him?
- Yeah, sure.

Dinner in about an hour.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[HAWK] Hey, Jax.

Glad you're here, buddy.

Make sure you get cleaned up for dinner.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

Well, Hawk, what you've
done with the renovation

is nothing short of a miracle.

Well, thank you.

But I had plenty of design help

from this young lady.

- Didn't I?
- Oh, you did.

Think it's a hidden talent you have.

Thank you.

- [HORN HONKING]
- Oh.

Sounds like you've got company.

[LUCY] Andrew's here.

Oh, yeah, that's our contractor.

He's renovating the cabin.

[LUCY] Since he's
giving up his apartment,

Hawk insists on having
a lair in the woods.

[HAWK] What husband wouldn't?

I won't be long. Excuse me.

I'm surprised that he finally agreed

to give up his apartment.

He seemed quite attached to it.

It was handy, working
in town like he does.

And so late sometimes.

But he agreed.

We don't need the extra expense.

[HAWK] Hey.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Your father was the same.
Away from home all hours.

Lucy.

Take comfort in the fact
that you're the one he loves

and comes home to.

And the rest is all just
about the meeting of needs.

I have no idea what you mean.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

[HAWK] So what are we looking at?

[SICKLER] A felony.

The destruction of federal property.

And the government's
also pressing charges

for interference with
the Selective Service Act.

- And for kidnapping.
- What?

We didn't kidnap anyone.

You forced a clerk to
stay inside the building.

We asked her politely.

Government doesn't care
what really happened.

What they want is to make an example

of you, Lawrence, and the rest.

On inflated charges.

You know what they'd do to
someone like him in prison?

I do.

And it might be for as long as years.

[HAWK] Jesus.

Now, I could try and negotiate
a deal for no jail time,

but you'd have to provide the names

of all the other protesters.

What, rat out my friends?

Twelve years is a long time.

We'll circle back, Jerry.

[SICKLER] Okay. Let me know.

We're all willing to go
to prison for our beliefs.

But I thought a few months, a year.

You have a way out.

Jerry can arrange it.

What he can arrange is
not a way out for me.

- I'm scared.
- Hey.

Hey.

Come here.

Come here, come here, come here.

Anyone would be scared.

You don't understand.

I'm scared I don't have the courage

to do the right thing.

Hawk.

[HAWK] I missed you, Skippy.

[TIM] Hawk, stop.

I keep going back to something

Father Lawrence says all the time.

There is no God higher than truth.

Are you cheating on
the Bible with Gandhi?

In the past, I held two truths.

My love for you and my love for God.

One was real

and one was a fantasy.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

[HAWK EXHALES DEEPLY]

I feel the same way about my family.

They're my truth now.

And they're here.

Lucy brought Kimberly and
Jackson up for the weekend.

You should go and be with them.

Yeah.

Why do I always give in?

Why is my love for You never enough?

Father, why is it never enough?

It's never enough.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

I have indulged in impure thoughts.

I can't stop them.

[FATHER LAWRENCE] Of a sexual nature?

[TIM] Yes.

I'm in love with someone I can't have.

I can't stop thinking about him.

[FATHER LAWRENCE] Am I to understand

that you have feelings for another man?

Yes.

Are you aware that the Church
views this as a mortal sin?

I am.

But I don't know how love can be a sin.

And no skimping on the green beans.

They're good for you.

Can I go to the Snyders' tomorrow night?

No, we're having a party tomorrow night.

But it doesn't matter if I'm here.

- Can we have fireworks?
- Of course it matters.

Susan said the oldest
Snyder boy sells dr*gs.

- He does not.
- We're not having fireworks.

- [KIMBERLY SIGHS]
- Why do I have to be here?

It's only ever a bunch
of your snobby friends

and their stupid kids.

Don't talk to your mother that way.

I'll check the garage.

I think I saved some from the Fourth.

[KIMBERLY] Yes.

I'm not hungry. Can I be excused?

Not until you finish your dinner.

And I mean all of it.

[LUCY] Listen to your father.
You barely ate any lunch.

Can I have some more gravy, please?

[LUCY] Yes, of course.

[OFFICER] Evening, Mr. Fuller.

Is there something I can help you with?

[OFFICER] Yes, we've had
some break-ins lately.

Cash and jewelry were stolen.

Any idea who's responsible?

Probably just some kids
getting into things.

They come up from the
city looking for trouble.

Just letting you know.

- You have a good night.
- You, too, sir.

- What was all that about?
- Ah, it's nothing.

Hey, did Jackson come back?

I think so.

[HAWK] Hey, Jax.

Jax.

What are you doing in our cabin?

[STAMMERS] I'm a
friend of your father's.

You must be Jackson.

Your father told me
about you and your sister.

It's Kimberly, right?

Can you please put the g*n down?

It's not loaded.

Do you want a soda?

Is this your hideout, too?

No, I only come when I
know my father's not here.

How do you know him?

I used to work for the government.

I found myself in a rough spot recently.

I needed a place to stay.

He didn't tell Mom about it.

My old boss treated
your grandfather badly.

Your dad didn't want to upset her.

Do you want to put the g*n
back to where it belongs?

You a writer?

And a smoker.

Are you gonna tell my dad about that?

No.

I enjoy a smoke myself now and then.

Someone gave it to me.

I'm asking you if it belongs to you.

I told you someone gave it to me.

You're not to leave this house.

Do you understand? Look at me.

And you're giving this

- to whoever it belongs to.

And you're going to apologize to them.

You've really disappointed me, Jackson.

I thought time and distance would help.

But it hasn't.

Hawk, I still love you.

But I'm hoping to find something else.

Maybe a deeper faith someday.

Are you the only one who matters?

What?

Your children are here,

I'm here.

How dare you bring
that man into our lives?

Look, it doesn't mean anything.

Don't insult my intelligence.

He's on the run from the law.

He's not a criminal, he's an activist.

He's wanted by the police,
and you helped him hide, Hawk!

Do you know what you've risked?

All we've built together,
your career, my life,

our children's lives.

You married me.

If you can't give me all your love,

give me enough respect

to keep whatever this
is out of our home.

Yeah.

Don't do that again.
