The Path

Previously on "The Path"...

- Any sign of Eddie? - His house is full

- of deniers. - What are they doing there?

‐ They want to reform the movement.

‐ Is it true, what they're all saying about you?

‐ Steve asked me to guide the movement.

I'm climbing the rungs with Richard and Felicia,

and when I am ready, I am going to replace Cal.

‐ Eddie, I've done things.

I've been with someone else.

Go home and deal with it.

‐ Our daughter‐‐ I want to see her.

‐ You have your own son now.

We have a son, and you should let him and everyone know.

‐ Forest.

Forest Roberts.

- Richard, what are you doing? - Sarah, run!

‐ Sarah blackmailed the people who came to her for help.

‐ It was my crime, and if I wanted to pay for it,

I should have been able to.

‐ If you want to be punished,

you don't have to out searching for it.

Your life will be hell.

‐ No, I‐I'm not coming.

I don't want to be a part of the discussion

about future leadership.

Look, Cal and Eddie can hash it out.

Hold on, someone's at the door.

Who is it?

Felicia, I'm gonna have to call you back.

‐ Remember me? ‐ No.

‐ I'm one of the people you blackmailed.

I lost everything! I tried to kill you.

I tried to run you off the road,

but that wouldn't help.

‐ I wish I could make amends, believe me.

Know that I live with what I did to you.

No. Please.

‐ Live with this.

I know that there is confusion.

I know there's fear and sadness.

But Steve, he asked me to return...

to serve...

to bring hope to a broken movement.

I tried to silence the call, but it was just too...

‐ Earthquake!

‐ We have to go.

We have to go!

Everybody out!

‐ No, no, no, it's safer here.

‐ No, we have to get out!

Get out of the building!

Everybody out!

Get out!

Anybody else in there?

Hey. We have to go.

‐ ‐ We have to go.

‐ What are we running for? ‐ I don't know.

‐ We have to go. ‐ No, I can't.

‐ It's okay. We have to‐‐

‐ Dad! Dad! ‐ No, don't‐‐

‐ Come on! Come on. Come on. ‐

‐ Come on.

What authorities are calling

a freak earthquake caused a gas‐line explosion

at the New York Meyerism Center.

The group's leader, Eddie Lane,

emerged from the flames unharmed.

Meyerist miracle or hoax?

‐ It begins.

‐ ‐ Hello?

‐ Hello. ‐ Vera Stephens.

I'm here about the position.

‐ Oh, uh... what position?

‐ The one I wrote to you about.

‐ Oh, right. Vera.

You are the... the publicist, right?

Oxford educated... you worked for Greenpeace...

and Breitbart.

‐ I think they both needed a facelift.

‐ Yeah, no, they, uh‐‐

they look great.

‐ Is there somewhere we can maybe sit down?

‐ Uh, actually, no, there's not a chair

in the building‐‐ just a big, empty space.

‐ The new New York City Meyerist Center.

‐ Yeah, um, I hope so.

You know, the truth is a lot of publicists

have thrown their... their hats in the ring,

and if I felt like I needed one,

you'd be the first person I would call, truly.

But I just don't think I need one.

‐ I don't want to be your publicist.

But I do think you're gonna need someone

to help you manage the influx of money,

members, and all the general mess

that has arisen now that you've trended on YouTube...

- And become... -

‐ A religious figure/legend. ‐ Right.

‐ And not to mention handle the media.

I'm sure you've already been inundated

with offers for interviews‐‐

not sure which one to take?

‐ Yeah, "Spirituality Today" offered me their cover.

‐ Don't take it.

‐ They got readership all over the world.

‐ Only premium, mainstream publications.

I see you on the cover of "The Sunday Times Magazine" ‐‐

"The New Face of Faith"

or something like that, you know?

No fringe. Nothing that puts you over there with them.

This is about where Meyerism is going,

not where it has been.

‐ First of all, I, uh‐‐ I just want to say thank you

for coming out to‐‐

to celebrate our new home in New York City.

You know, we've grown a lot over the past six months,

but the work has just begun.

These are tough times.

Our towns are being ravaged by substance abuse.

Hate groups are springing up in our neighborhoods.

We are living within a politically divided nation

where marginalized groups are feeling

more and more marginalized.

But you are welcome here.

See, I... I've been to The Garden.

I've seen that it's not just for a chosen few...

but for everyone‐‐

anyone who walks this path.

And that is why I have decided

to take down the guard booth

and leave the gates to The Garden open

so that anyone can enter as they please.

‐ He's gonna get us all killed.

I mean, it seems crazy to remove security

in times like these, but I'm‐‐ I'm not gonna say anything.

‐ You should. You should say something.

You're the one that's being realistic.

‐ No, I've completely extricated myself

from making any of those kinds of decisions.

‐ Maybe you should go see a therapist‐‐

a real one, not a Meyerist.

Look, obviously, I'm just getting

to know you again, but you just seem

like you're suffering.

And what that man did to you in your house‐‐

‐ What I did to that man was horrible.

‐ Right, and that's what therapy is for.

Do you think I'd be able to sit with you here right now

if I hadn't been talking to a professional

three times a week?

I'm doing extra sessions just so I can make it

to the big dinner on Friday.

‐ I'm really sorry.

- I mean, it's been hard. - I know.

‐ With all the changes that Eddie has made...

and is making, but...

Talking to you has been one of the better things

to come of it.

‐ How is Cal doing with all these changes?

‐ No one's heard from him since the explosions.

I know. Change sucks.

I know you're thinking,

"How the hell am I gonna reinvent myself?"

What's your name?

‐ Barry. ‐

- Did y'all hear his name? - No.

No? Okay, come on.

‐ Barry. ‐ Come on, come on, come on.

‐ Barry. ‐ Yeah, one more time.

You can do better. ‐ Barry.

‐ All right, all right.

Barry what? ‐ Barry Klein.

‐ Barry Klein‐‐ but with conviction!

"Barry Klein! This is who I am!

Barry Klein."

- Barry Klein. - Yes!

‐ Barry Klein!

All right, all right.

Why are you here today, Barry Klein?

‐ I got fired from my sales job last month.

Mm‐hmm. ‐ And I haven't been able

to get another gig.

But it's not my fault. The economy is shit.

‐ Ah. Did you hear what I heard?

I sure did. ‐ Right.

You want to hire Barry Klein, Mary?

‐ No one wants a man who won't take responsibility.

‐ That's your thing, isn't it, Barry?

You make excuses for your failure‐‐

blame others.

Economy sucks, the boss sucks, the wife sucks,

kids suck, am I right?

Who else did that?

Someone else in your life...

Your father?

‐ How'd you know?

‐ Everything in your body told me so.

You see, I used to carry
