02x05 - Why We Source

[bunniefuu]

Eddie: Previously on "The Path"...

I want to apologize.

I would ask that you stop your campaign of false propaganda.

Parker: The stuff that DeKaan puts in that water isn't going to show up on your average tests.

Can you find it?

Yeah, but it's not cheap.

Sarah: I told the people of Clarksville that I would test their water, and now I need the funds to do it.

She blackmailed you. I can go to jail if I have to.

I am not letting you go to jail.

Mary: I had other relationships.

You're my wife, and I am with you, if you're with me... only me.

The meds are going to help ease the panic att*cks, dysphoria.

I spoke with a colleague who gave me information about a support group.

My name is Eddie, and I was in a cult.

But I owe my life to Steve and his work, and I will find who hurt him.

What if that man was Cal?

There's someone among us?

The Path 2x05 Why We Source

Cal: I remember... I think I was eight or nine, Steve asked me what I thought The Movement had most to fear.

"Ignorance," I answered.

"No," he replied.

"Complacency."

Our own complacency.

It's so easy to become fixated on the rungs, both the one you're on now, and the one you're ascending to.

Always, always inside your own head, where you find you can think of nothing but ascension.

It's a... it's a kind of tunnel vision, so...

Why are they doing this?

Did you talk to Cal?

I saw m*rder in his eyes.

I've seen that look too many times.

I checked the travel records. He was here when Steve d*ed.

So he didn't do it with his bare hands.

Sarah asked me to come back.

She needed someone here with Steve's interest at heart.

Is what she's doing now with Steve's interest at heart?

There's always more space to be filled with... with all that The Light has to give us.

And that is why we source.

Cal: Have a seat.

How are you today, Oliver?

Good, sir.

No need to call me sir.

Nothing to be nervous about, really.

Okay.

Can you go ahead and place your left hand, palm down, on the clear page in front of you?

Like this?

That's exactly right.

Do you understand why you're here?

I think so.

Cal: Mm-hmm.

Is it supposed to do this?

We keep damage stored inside of us.

It becomes chemicals.

When the right questions are asked, the chemicals mix with our sweat.

The pink tells us that you're holding back.

You need to uncover more, so we can help you... help yourself.

[exhales deeply]

Can you state your name for me?

My name is Eddie Lane.

Um...

It's my second time here.

I've been out of my, uh...

I left my cult, um... six months ago.

And it's been, uh, it's been hard.

You know, I've had panic att*cks, um... paranoia.

We've all been there.

We call this the Anomie stage.

You're refocusing from the group mind to the I.

You're asking who am I.

Yeah, which has been... it's been hard.

'Cause I've spent the last, God, almost 20 years knowing what this was all about, you know.

I was going to sleep for what I was waking up for.

You know, I knew what was going to happen when... when I d*ed.

Um, I knew how to raise my kids.

Oliver: Before I came here, I was watching it, like, 16 hours a day.

I told you there's been nothing.

If the FBI have someone among us, I haven't found them yet.

[exhales deeply]

Sarah, um...

Lisa Jackson would have told you anything to get her tape back.

Mm, you weren't there. She was telling the truth.

And it could be anyone.

Guilt can be very powerful.

Keep looking.

This is just routine.

You can relax.

Oh, man.

So good we do this.

I don't smoke anymore. I just... just in case.

It's all good. This is why we source.

"To uncover that which you hide from yourself."

It's beautiful.

Now you decide what to do.

You want to put it back under the mattress, or give over.

Completely.

Empty yourself, so that you can be filled with The Truth.

Yeah! [laughing]

All right, girls, who's next?

Cal: Do you find you can trust people?

Abe: No.

Cal: No?

I'm ex-m*llitary. I worked in security for years.

Life experience has beaten the trust out of me.

Yeah.

So you, uh, you know all the tactics then.

To deceive.

That's my job.

It was my job.

Chose free will. Leadership over the "word."

Let's just say The Light provided.

We received a donation.

We're very grateful. We've been having trouble finding someone to take on the testing.

Well, I told Sarah here I'd be glad to do it.

I love to stick it to the man and God, whoever I can who thinks he's above me.

I can offer you 25 grand.

I thought perhaps you'd like to donate the extra cost of your services to the greater good.

The kind of testing you're asking for is time-consuming and expensive.

The community's trying to pull together extra funds.

Okay, let's settle down.

This is not a simple situation.

These charges are extreme.

Breaking and entering, vandalism, as*ault with a deadly w*apon.

And the worst of it is, she somehow was able to pressure the DA into slapping Hawk with a domestic terrorism charge.

What?

It's a federal offense with huge ramifications.
