Fortunate Son

- Previously on Fortunate Son... - It's a phone tap.

I want you to put it into the phone at the Howard house.

- Got anything? - Linda Plotnick.

I should have been with her.

- Don't hurt him! - He set the bomb in her car!

We want the good people of Canada

to be afraid of activists and draft dodgers.

Leave no one behind, right?

Any other evidence turn up from forensics?

- Incidental items, keys, things like that? - Not really, no.

- Why is he asking about keys? - What happened to Destiny?

Misadventure.

Destiny?

Get off of me! Let me go!

Destiny, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay!

I didn't have the C-4 wired up, Travis.

- I swear to God I didn't. - What happened?

There was this girl, and she asked me if I had any pot,

and I said, "Yeah, in my car", right? So she just goes and gets it

and... and it just...

God, that poor kid.

It's okay.

Hey, tell me about the guy who gave you the key.

What did he look like?

He was an older guy.

He knew a lot about Che Guevara, you know,

he said he was part of the revolution,

like an advance wave or something.

And I saw him later and...

he acted... like, really cold.

And he told me to meet him at River Park

- and he never showed up. - No one can know you're here.

I'll try to figure out a way to get you out of town,

but no lights,

- no fire, no noise, nothing. - We can tell Ralph, though, right?

No. Look, the police are gonna figure out it wasn't you.

And when they do,

whoever came after you will come again.

They won't miss this time.

Hey. What's so important you couldn't wait?

Thanks.

The medical examiner called.

It wasn't her.

Wasn't who? What are you talking about?

The dead girl in the car. It was someone else.

- Holy shit. - Yeah.

Linda Plotnick's death's all over the news.

How come she hasn't come out and said: "I'm not dead, I'm right here"?

Maybe she thinks someone's trying to kill her.

So what does she do then?

She hides.

Mm-hmm. And who's she hiding from?

I'm starting to not like where this is going.

Yeah, me neither.

We need to find out what that opens.

I think I know that symbol.

- Morning. - Travis!

- Good morning, come on in. - I hope I'm not here too early.

No, no. Not at all.

Just getting the day going around here.

- Can I get you coffee? - Yeah, please.

By the way, Sandro called looking for Lawrence.

Apparently, he... took his bag and disappeared.

Did he say anything to you?

He mentioned going to Prince George

to look for work.

Some guys start running and they can't stop.

So Ruby tells me you'll be staying with us for a while?

Yes, I told Travis

he's welcome to a room here for as long as he needs.

I plan to work so I can help out with the bills.

I'm sorry, when was someone gonna tell me about this?

- Ellen! - So he's staying in the spare room?

Across the hall, sharing the bathroom?

Travis. Hey. Welcome, man.

This is gonna be great. This is just great.

- I'll get a room at stoner's dorm. - Ellen, don't be rude.

No, it's fine. I can just turn my life upside-down

whenever you feel like it, but I'm the one that's being rude.

- Unbelievable. - Look, maybe this is a bad idea...

Sit down!

We are a family.

We have shared values and we love each other,

contrary to all appearances.

There have been challenges since we left Princeton,

but families work together to overcome difficulty.

That is what they do, and no matter

what we've gone through, it is nothing

compared to what this young man has endured,

what he has endured for his country,

and we owe him.

We owe him our respect

and our gratitude and our help.

But most of all, we owe him

our best efforts to change

the morally-corrupt government of our former country

so that a senseless war like Vietnam

never happens again.

Now, Travis will take the spare room, and I'm going to the church

for one last push for Bobby Kennedy,

and I would very much like the support

and cooperation of my family.

Any questions?

In that case...

Travis,

what can I get you for breakfast?

Hello!

I'm... sorry,

is this a bad time?

- So who is she, then? - No idea, but we know who she isn't.

Check the missing persons, gimme some names,

and I'll check them up with dental records.

But Linda Plotnick's family

- must be informed first. - Absolutely.

It's just... this is an ongoing investigation, so we really need to...

Which requires your police chief to announce

someone's dead when they're not?

Okay. We totally understand how that can annoy you.

Annoy? This is not me annoyed, this is me laughing.

Your numb nuts police chief's gonna have to wear this.

We just need a day or two, that's it.

Someone could lose a job over this.

- It won't be me. - Twenty-four hours, please,

Doris. We wanna be the ones who find Linda Plotnick.

Thank you, Doris.

Thank you.

No one's been in the explosives lockup for weeks.

Well, just humour us, okay? It's locked.

I'm the only one with a key. This one.

It never leaves my key ring,

and my key rings never leave my pocket.

See?

No one broke in.

Well, we've got a key here we'd like to try.

It won't work. Can't copy this key.

Even if...

Son of a bitch.

The next primary is in Illinois.

We need to get these out to start laying the groundwork in Chicago.

Do they have the fact sheets inside?

- Yes. - So I can seal them?

No, wait... Oh, dammit!

- Oh, shit! - Okay, okay.

- I got it, I got it. - Jesus!

Hey, hey.

It's alright. It's just coffee.

No, it's not that, it's...

it's just...

I'm sorry, I don't usually...

I just can't believe I went off on my family like that this morning.

I'm sorry you had to be there for that.

I kinda feel like it was my fault.

No, it's not. It is not your fault,

not at all.

Ellen doesn't seem to be on the same page with the rest of the family.

Well, I think it's probably her age.

She needs to distance herself from her parents.

It's part of growing up.

Is she mad about something?

Yeah.

I think the move to Canada.

- That's hard on her. - Why'd you leave the US?

Did something happen?

Yes.

But you can't change the past,

can you?

No, ma'am.

Stuff goes wrong sometimes and...

changes everything.

- Thanks for the lift. - _

Mrs. Studemeyer? I'm Travis Hunter.

I served with your son in Vietnam.

He talked about you in his letters.

Everyone in his unit was family, he said,

but only you were his brother.

Oh, he loved his car. I know he must have told you about it.

- Yes, ma'am. - He kept it just so.

He planned on driving Highway 66 in it, did he tell you that?

Yes.

Look, you should know that what they said happened

- at Cam Lo... - Doesn't matter now.

Nothing can bring him back.

I'm really sorry, ma'am.

If he'd had a brother,

his brother would have this car now.

But...

I can't sell it.

And I can't leave it in the garage like this.

Hey, man. Thanks for stopping.

You want me to drive?

I want you to take the car.

I don't want it.

Take it, help me out, please.

Peace, brother.

Are you leaving?

What does it look like? I don't wanna share a bathroom

- with you and your new friend the drug addict. - Ellen, come on!

Travis really isn't that bad. I mean, he's cool. What's...

Why are you freaking out?

Look, I know you're still upset over Destiny,
