The first 197 lines.
: Previously on Fortunate Son...
They were very interested in Travis.
You ever ask yourself why we moved to Canada?
Ruby Howard... was an agitator in Princeton.
I want you... to get contact names
for everybody on both sides of the borders.
Chimes of freedom, baby!
- Maybe you could help us? - Sure.
Stay away from the back of the building.
Why?
Innocent people could have been killed!
The world needs revolution, Mom!
It should have gone off. So why didn't it?
You know, the real question is, who told them how to get the C-4?
Be cool.
Hey.
Just try to calm your breathing. Hey.
I see his face...
the boy in Petersburg.
I see the flames and then I can't breathe.
- I'm afraid for Ralph. - I know.
Thank God nothing happened.
If it hadn't been for Travis, I can't even...
Hey.
Hey. Breathe.
We're okay.
You know, sometimes I think it's gonna be alright.
We have the kids.
We have each other.
Other times, I just panic.
Travis?
Here. I've helped others through this.
I know you feel hopeless right now, but it...
- (RETCHING) - It will get better.
It will get better. Trust me; I'm in the hope business.
I want to get clean.
I know you can.
Who's that?
PFC Lawrence Mosley, Third Marines.
Wounded in Da Nang in '67.
He came home, and now they're recalling him.
I just found out he's coming across.
Sometimes the best way to help yourself
is by helping someone else.
You guys were here all night but you don't know anything?
You didn't hear anything? You don't know who was
- in the car? Okay. - I can't answer that question.
God. What you got?
Che Guevara, Guerrilla Warfare.
Anybody remember seeing anything last night?
Nope. Well, not that they'd tell me, anyway.
Hey Pokey, you got anything?
Wallet, looks like.
- Linda Plotnick. - Ah, jeez.
- Remember her? - Yeah.
Stupid kid.
A waste.
Hi, a group of us ex-pats
in Canada are trying to get the vote out
for Bobby in California.
Yeah. Well, let me start by saying
that Bobby Kennedy's going to end the war.
He's going to close the gap between Blacks and whites,
rich, poor, you name it. Mm-hm.
Well, he is a family man and he wants to bring his kids up
in a better world than the one we're living in today.
Fold and stuff.
Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Well, there is a change coming and you want to be
on the right side of history but you got to get out and vote.
Fantastic, that's great to hear.
- Mm-hm. Yep. - Orgono?
- Oh, one moment, please. Yep? - Have you seen my address book?
- Umm, nope. - No?
Hi, sorry about that.
It's usually in my bedside table.
Yep. Awesome.
Thanks for your time. Mm, bye. Thanks.
That's so weird.
- Ralphie, Ralphie. - What?
: I'm so sorry. There was an explosion
- at River Park. - What is it?
- It was Destiny's car. - Oh, my God.
Ralphie, I...
The bomb at the police station was supposed to go off.
There were too many people. Someone would've been hurt.
I said, let them make a big noise.
Well, if the bomb had gone off, Ruby would've known
and she would've never let me back in the house...
- She kicked you out anyway. - For the drugs! But this way,
I can still get back in. I made a judgement call in the moment.
We want the good people of Canada to be afraid
of activists and draft dodgers. You understand?
More pressure, more leverage on Ruby.
You and I, we're not supposed to be here, remember?
Yeah.
Hey, what happened to Destiny?
- Misadventure. - The way I left that stuff,
there's no way she accidentally set it off.
Like I said, the police will decide it was misadventure.
Find anything for me at the house?
Yeah, yeah. I found her address book.
These are all the names I had time to copy out of it.
There were some numbers but no names beside them.
I'm gonna need those too. Especially those.
Find a way to get back into the house.
Get involved with the committee. See if you can find the file
of the people that have already come through.
Don't you start to like these people, Travis.
These protests weaken our position in Vietnam.
They are helping Ho Chi Minh kill our marines.
You get that, right? Next time...
... you do exactly as I tell you.
- Alright? - Yes, sir.
Go.
Linda Plotnick appears to be the driver of the vehicle
but it'll be a while before we get a positive ID.
Now, the car's registered to a Florence Plotnick,
who we're assuming is the girl's mother back in Castlegar.
And what the hell is this?
It was found in the car.
- It's a communist book. - Yeah.
And she's the same one who put the bomb outside?
That's what we're thinking.
Son of a bitch. Well, at least
the degenerates are blowing themselves up and not us, huh?
This is that guy from Cuba!
- Che Guevara, yeah. - Che Guevara.
We think this is the guy who beat up
the border patrol agents. He may also be involved
- in the attempted bombing here. - We want to bring him in.
No. No, not yet.
- Why, what are we waiting for? - Uh, you have a fatality
- at the river. Work on that. - Okay.
Now, I'm going to... uh, I'm going to keep this.
Che Guev-eh-ra. Guev-ah-ra.
Everything okay?
Still having problems with the ion source line.
We keep getting these contaminated results.
Parker's demanding a clean test by Friday.
- That's ridiculous. - Yeah.
Listen, um... I just wanted to...
I enjoyed our drink the other night.
I hope I didn't, you know, shock you
- by the place I suggested. - Yeah, well, uh...
I... I stayed for a couple of drinks but it's...
... it's not my kind of place. You know?
I do. I shouldn't have sprung that on you,
it's just that I felt we had a certain connection,
but it's okay. I get it.
But you got to admit, they do have one of the best scotch
- collections around, right? - Yeah, that was a treat.
Listen, I know I don't have to say this but...
no one else can know.
It would mean the end of my career, well...
my life, actually.
I understand.
- How's he doing? - He's in shock.
He thinks the police blew up her car.
- Why would they do that? - I don't know.
He's not thinking straight.
Have you... called Dad yet?
No, not yet.
Something like this was bound to happen, you know.
Ellen, please just... don't do this right now.
You're the one who put all the revolutionary stuff
- inside his head... - Since when did Robert Kennedy
- become a revolutionary? - You know what I mean!
All this anti-war activism.
Bringing an army deserter into our house!
Ralph doesn't realize what can happen.
He is so lonely
and afraid and confused
that he'll just hop on any crazy train that blows through!
Yes, Ralph can get carried away.
Planting a bomb is getting carried away?
He needs a new focus, yes,
but he cares
and he's passionate about change
and we all have a responsibility to make
a positive change in the society we live in. Even you.
Oh, I will.
I plan to go to law school, make a lot of money.
Okay, Ellen, you know what?
I know you're angry over the move to Canada
but it has been two years. You really need to get over it.
We shouldn't even be in this country, Mom. Why are we here?
You know why.
- (APPROACHING CAR) - (TWO HONKS)
- What do you want here? - Oh, hi.
I'd like to speak with Ralph, please.
- Do you have a warrant? - Gosh, no.
We just want to express our condolences, really, and...
Ralph. Ralph. Ralph. Woah-oh-oh.
Ralph. Get back in the house. Ralph!
We want to say how sorry we are about what happened
to your friend, Linda Plotnick.
