It's been brought
to my attention

that their friendship
is inappropriate.

If I ever softened the truth,

it was only to protect you.

And the scar on my back?

The one you burned into me.

Was that to protect me, too?

I want to become a Meyerist.

I just saw JP.
He wants me to help him.

The answer is to find more JPs.
Make them my followers.

I think that this is
the cause of a celebration.

Is Lilith alive?
She's alive.

But if you contact her, she
might tell you things, Sarah,

that make it impossible
for you to go back.

Do you know where she is?

She's a veterinarian

on Riverside and 72nd Street.

You found me.

The first vision
came to me when I was seven.

I was in my room
trying to sleep.

My parents were fighting
very badly again, so...

I lay there sad and afraid,

when suddenly I...

I saw light in my window,

and it wasn't the moon because
there wasn't a moon that night.

And I stood up to see
what it was,

and as I pulled myself
toward it,

the light just burst through

and wrapped itself around me
like a warm blanket.

How did you know what it was?

I didn't.
Not at first, but I...

I felt comforted, understood,

like I was no longer alone.

The Light continued
to visit me regularly

over the next 15 years

until the message was revealed.

How was the message revealed?
Did The Light speak to you?

There was no voice or words.

But sometimes
it showed me things.

And every time I felt
its presence,

I had the need
directly after to write.

There was a message
I was compelled to put down.

Was the message
much different than Meyerism?

Different to what Steve

I was 13 when my parents
brought me to Steve.

I saw the journals...

at least the ones that you
and Steve worked on together.

He kept them?

My parents didn't understand
my writings and obsessions,

writing visions
of the end of the world,

so they sought out
a psychiatrist for me.

I thought he worked
for the military?

Yes, but he took on private
patients that interested him.

Did he...

steal your visions?

He believed in me.

He helped me make sense

of the visions,
The Ladders, these rungs.

It's like we worked
on it together.

What is it?

I don't believe in you.

I was hoping
that I was gonna come here

and you were gonna answer

all the questions about
the religion I have been...

devoted to my whole life.

And you were gonna help me
believe again.

I wish I could be
the answer for you,

but I can only tell you
about my experiences.

Take this.

It's what The Light
revealed to me.

The Truth.

So, after a lot of thought
and careful consideration,

Sarah and I've decided that...

she will no longer be
a part of The Movement.

Mom wants to leave
The Movement?

Listen, kid,
she has been struggling

with her faith for a while.

And we realized that she just
doesn't want to be here.

Why didn't she
say anything to me?

Look, I am sure that she
will reach out to you today.

We made the decision
late last night.

Look, as you know,
Sarah is deeply loved here.

I think we can help
the membership see

that her departure
is a personal choice.

Nothing to do with you
or your leadership.

I appreciate that.

I don't want there to be gossip

where there doesn't need to be.

Neither does your mother.

Hey, Cal, if you have a second,
I'd like to

Yeah.

See you, kid.

You know, it seems,
with every new member,

we have ten new problems.

How can I help?

Well, city inspector
came through,

said our nursery is
over capacity,

said that we need to refile

as a schoolage child care
educational center,

but there's a 14month
application backlog.

Right. I'm guessing
we won't be allowed

to operate in the meantime.

Only...

the inspector literally said

maybe there's a way
to move our application

to the top of the pile.

He wants to Yeah, then...

there's this idiot.

Rufus Mott? Yeah.

Rufus is suing us
for $2 million.

He voluntarily ended
his 1R training.

Right.

Then the next day he slipped
and fell on some wet stairs.

What does Carla say?

Thinks that we should settle
out of court.

Seems like
a dangerous precedent,

especially the way
we're growing.

Exactly. I don't know.

I mean... this is all bullshit.

He doesn't deserve anything.

It's just��
Vera always dealt with this.

- � How?
- �

� Where is she?

� State your name, please.

� Vera Stephens.

� All right, Vera.

The first question
we always ask,

and I want you to think
carefully before you answer��

why are you here?

� To be free,

to be in control of my life,
for my life to be my own.

� Do you currently feel like

you're not in control
of your own life?

� Yes. Yes.

� Is there anything else?

� I want to be good.

� Once you start this work,

you won't question
your goodness.

� Hey, Rita. � Cal, Eddie, hi.

We were just having
a really great intake session.

� Great. Well, we'll
let you get back to it.

We just need to speak
with Vera for a minute.

� Of course.

� Thank you. � Thank you.

� Look, I, um...

I hate to do this to you, but��

� We need help to
pick up where you left off.

� You got a knack with these
sort of situations.

� Um...

I don't want to be
that person anymore.

� No, no, no, now. We're not
looking for you to do anything.

Just, ��just help us mimic

your unique brand
of personal efficiency.

� High�powered lawyers,

bribes, and blackmail.

� Am I just wasting
my time here? I mean...

Can't someone like me become
a great Meyerist?

� Yes.

Of course.

Okay, we've all done things.

� Um, I want to take the ODE,

you know, the one that��that
the boy took��Logan.

The one with the swastika.
� Yeah, yeah.

No, but why? � The ODE is for��

� "Especially damaged
Possibles."

I know. I remember.

It scores your potential
for The Light.

� Yeah, I mean,
it's supposed to.

But that test is outdated��
� I want to take it.

You don't know the things
I've done

and the people I come from.

� Hey, stop.

Look, I know you.

Okay? You are full of Light.

I don't need the ODE
to tell me that.

� Well, I do.

� What's going on?

� I could ask the same of you.

� Look, I'm sorry

about my behavior
at Dad's offering night.

� You left The Movement.

� So it's out?
� You're Sarah Lane, okay?

Of course it's out.
� Look, I'm sorry. I've been��

� What am I supposed to tell
my kids about their aunt?

� Tell them whatever
you need to, Russel.

� Okay, look, if you
are suffering��.

There's something going on.

We're all here for you.

� Thank you.
I�I appreciate that. I...

� Yeah.

� What's that?

What's going on?

� Russel?

There you are. Hey.

� Mom, what are you doing? �.

We're gonna get through this.

� Are you moving in?

� I'm just providing support
in this time��

temporary support.

� That's the last of it.
� Thank you, darling.

Mwah.

� Let me know
if you need anything.

� Russel�� � We're all good.

We're all good. � Wait.

� I'll stay in Hawk's room.
� Mom, this is so unnecessary.

� But it is so necessary.

It is absolutely,
100% necessary.

� I know this is difficult.
� No.

I talked to your dad about it,
and we're in agreement.

� You talked to Dad?
� Every day.

And I promised him.

I will not let you leave
The Movement.

� We're usually drinking...

a group of us powerful men.

There's champagne and cigars,
oysters.

Girls inevitably join.
They want to be with us.

� Women. �

� They're women, Congressman.

� I know.

Jesus, I know, but see,
the thing is��

� Sexual harassment.

� What isn't these days?

� Three women are accusing you
of groping them

in the ladies' room
on three separate occasions.

� That's bullshit, okay?

These girls drink so much,
they can hardly even walk.

I'm helping them get
to the toilet.

What is the harm in that?

� There could be lots of harm,

but the harm I care about��

� Jesus.
You sound like the lawyers.

� But the harm I care about,

the harm I know you care about,

is the harm you're doing
to yourself.

� Plenty of politicians
have kept

their seats after doing
something like this.

� I don't give a fuck

about you keeping your seat.
� Reassuring.

� You pay other people
to do that.

I care about you.

I care about you...

harming yourself psychically,

emotionally.

Look at her.

Now, when you see a woman
like Mary,

what do you need from her?

No, look at me, Buck. Me only.

What do you need from a woman...

when you sexualize
her immediately?

� I need�� �.

What do you need
from that woman?

Tell me right now.

� To tell me something. � What?

� That they notice me.

� What do you want them
to notice about you?

� That I'm a man.

� That's what I thought.

Please stand up, Buck.

Right, stand up, please, now.

� What's going on?

� Unbuckle your pants and pull
down your underwear, please.

� Fuck you, buddy.

Look, I'm not one
of your little followers.

� Listen to me.

Stand up, unbuckle your pants,
pull down your underwear,

now, please.

What is this?

Some kind of joke or something?

You some kind of pervert?
� No...

And it's not.

But you will lose everything

if you piss away
this opportunity.

I know...

you're scared and vulnerable.

This is not a joke
or a�a humiliation.

Go on.

� This is insane.

� Take a look down.

Go ahead.

What's down there?

� � Never mind.

You know what it is. � I do.

� It's you.

You are...

a man.

Right there is
all the proof you need.

Say it.

"I am a man."

� I am... a man.

� Right?

Of course you are.

Now let's start talking about
why you're so fucking angry.

You can pull your pants up.

� So wait,
let me get this straight.

Caleb's father visits your dad,

tells him he doesn't want
you two together,

and that's the last you hear
from him?

� He texted me saying

that he needed to take care
of some stuff.

I really don't want to talk
about this right now.

� That's awful. Horrible.

I hope he's okay.

� Caleb could come live with us.

� He could because we are part
of a faith

that is so loving and
compassionate and accepting.

it wasn't always so accepting.

� That is debatable.

� You're open
to the possibility.

That's new.

� Look where we are now.
That's what matters.

� I'm sorry you're going
through this.

It sounds like Caleb

has some tough choices
to make right now.

� Is that what you're doing?

Making choices? � I guess it is.

Um, I don't like��

� The direction
The Movement is heading.

But it's temporary. �

� So why not fight it?

I mean, nothing changes
if you��if you don't push back.

Or did Dad really bully you
into leaving?

� It was a mutual decision.

� Well, I really wish you'd
told me you were discussing this.

It's hard being at the mercy
of everyone else's choices

when it doesn't always feel
like I have one of my own.

� Shit. � Hey.

Look, it's not like that.

Okay? I just��I just want
to talk.

Please.

You never finished
your 1R training.

It says in your intake folder

that you didn't finish
college either...

at three different places.

Computer school, music school��
� So what?

� I mean, you came to us

in search of something.

What are you looking for, Rufus?

� I don't know.

� You don't know?
Come on, take a guess.

� Look, I'm not supposed to��
� Take a guess.

� Somewhere I belong... I guess.

� See, I hear that.

What made you feel like you
didn't belong with us?

� I�I don't know, man.
� Are you sure?

� All the personal questions.

I was down with it at first,
but then it got, like...

too personal...

� � Like, invasive.

� Listen, what if we were
able to create

a program where you were
able to have

some more private space?

Could we convince you
to come back?

Drop the lawsuit,
give us another try?

� I knew you were going to try
some Jedi mind trick bullshit.

� No, hey, I'm just trying
to help you out, okay?

� You're trying to get
out of paying me.

You guys have money.

� Yeah, money to help people��

people in need,
people with addiction,

homeless families,
victims of disasters.

� Yeah.

I really can't do this.

You got to go.
My manager's gonna flip.

� Look, I understand...

that space is very important
to you,

that you must had a lot of it
growing up as a kid��

only child in that big house
of your parents on Bay Street.

Till they split.
� That's none of your business.

� Then you two were forced
to move around��

you and your mom...

a lot less space.

� They told me
you wouldn't read all that.

� But your dad was able
to stay put

in that big house of his
on Bay Street...

now with his new family...

even after your mom tried
to sue him over and over again,

but your dad didn't care.

He would rather spend every
dollar he made on a lawyer

so he wouldn't have to give
your mom the money

that she deserved.

Look, you can just keep looking,

or you can come back...
somewhere you belong.

It's your decision.

� Please state your name.
� Vera...

Asan.

� Asan?

Answer the questions openly
and honestly.

I changed it to Stephens
when I...

when I got married
and didn't change it back.

� How do you feel? � Awake...

and scared.

� Are you instinctive by nature?

� Yes.

� Are you reliable
in an emergency?

� Yes.

� Are, you responsive
to other people's emotions?

� Yes.

� Do you ever feel remorse?
� Yes.

� Do you ever replay
terrible events from your past?

� No.

� Um, do you think your regrets
are your own?

� No.

� Who do you share them with?
� My mother.

� Have you been reincarnated?

� We're doomed to one life.

� You don't believe
in an afterlife?

� I believe in this life.

� Recall and define

your first experience of bliss.

� Graduating college. � Deeper.

Bliss.

Don't think.

� There's a tree.

� A tree? � Yes.

And it's so beautiful...

because it's a lone tree
in a field of grass.

� Are you the tree?

� No.

I'm running toward it.

I'm about five or six.

The sun is shining so bright.

It bursts through the leaves,

making a kaleidoscope
of designs on the ground.

I�I'm laughing so hard,
my stomach hurts.

But I'm��I'm sad, too...

Because even though
I'm so young, I...

I know this laughing
is not something I normally do.

A�and there's a boy.

He's chasing me.

He's so sweet and funny.

Has a��and has a head
of sandy hair.

And he's laughing, too.

Yeah...

laughing like��like me,

like one who never laughs.

And then he takes a knife out...

and carves a heart
into the bark.

And he says,

"This is what teenagers do."

And then my father calls me
to come inside, and it's...

And it's over.

Is that the last question?

Cal?

� Cal? � Yes. Sorry. Um...

You can, ��you can return
to your day now.

� We don't expect it
to happen overnight.

She didn't get to where she is
now all at once,

so it will take some time

to get back
where we need her to be.

I know. I see it, too.

It still burns in her,
as bright as it ever did.

- � Mom.
- � God.

You scared me.
� Who are you talking to?

� He usually comes home
around sunset.

I guess no one told him
I was staying with you.

� The bird followed you?
� Of course he did.

Marriage doesn't end with death.

� Dad?

We were just talking about you.

Good night.

I'll see you in the morning,
sweetheart.

� Hi. � Hi.

� I'm sorry, I just, um,

wanted to come and pray
before I went home.

� No, please. Come join me.

� Do you always pray at night?

� Yeah, you know,
there's just not that much...

time to pray anymore.

� Okay.

� Yeah.

There's just a lot
going on right now.

� There always was.

Yeah.

� I know this is probably
the last thing

you need to think of, but...

did Cal give you my ODE results?

� Look, sometimes it just takes
time to score, but...

I'll check in with him
in the morning.

� Eddie Lane?

� Yeah.

� You've been served��
restraining order.

Stay away from Rufus Mott.

Next time you see him
is in court.

� Hey.

Congressman Harbaugh called.
You rocked it.

He wants to work with you again.

� Great.
Yeah, that's��that's great.

� Tomorrow. � That's��.

Tomorrow? No, um...

No, tell him��tell him
next week.

� Why? � I'm just��.

There's a lot going on here.

� We're not trying
to stay here, remember?

If you don't meet with him,
what's he going to tell JP?

If JP's not happy, then how
are we gonna get more clients,

and if we can't get
more clients��

� All right, so call him.

Um, set it up.

But you go.

� I�I can't run a session
like that.

� Yes, yes, you can.

I know it. All right?

You've seen me
do it long enough.

And, honestly, you can help him
more than I can.

He needs to��to deal
with women like you

if he's gonna keep his seat
in Congress.

� Cal? � Yeah?

� Is��is it true
about Sarah Lane?

� Look, I want everyone
who lives here, 1R and up,

just to start keeping an eye
on each other.

� So you're asking us to spy
on each other?

� No, kid, that is not
what I'm saying.

� That is exactly
what you're saying.

� This a good time?

I dealt with the city inspector.

We are now a school�age
child care educational center.

� All right, well,
I'm not gonna ask you

how much that cost,
but thank you.

� I have to go. � No, no.

Okay, I want to talk
to you, okay?

And actually you, too,
about the...

the protocol
of possible defectors.

� Defectors?

� All right, sorry,
wrong choice of word.

� Defectors like Rufus Mott
or defectors like Mom?

� Kid... � I have to go.

� Hey. Where are you��

I want to discuss this.

� I guess the lawsuit
isn't going too well?

� My God.

Hey, um, how did Vera's ODE go?

� Yeah. Um...

� B matrix?

� Yeah, Steve called it,
hope and heaven.

� So she's blocked.

� Yeah, yeah, but that's common
with atheists.

It's the end,
her response to bliss...

� It's heartbreaking.

"A boy and girl
who rarely laughed."

You believe in this test?

� Um...

Steve used to say,

"Everyone is a prism."

The test evaluates
internal reflections

so as to predict
external potential.

� Well, I thought Logan
had potential,

but this test said he did not.

� Yeah, um...

some people don't test well.

� Get rid of it.

� Hey...

I'm sorry to make you meet me
like this.

� It's just my dad's
all over me, and...

I think he has, like, the whole
church looking out for me.

� What did he say?

� Not a damn word.

� So then how do you know?

Christian college?

� It's, um...

it's conversion therapy.

� I�I thought that was illegal.
� Yeah.

In a lot of places, but...

not everywhere.

� Your Dad is�� � He just...

He��he loves me.
� This isn't love.

� Okay, look,
please keep your voice down.

� But it isn't.
� Okay, I know. I do. I know.

But��look, it's just��
it's just complicated, Hawk.

� It's not complicated.

If your church does not accept
you as you are,

then to hell with them.

� That's not fair to say.

� Okay, "fair" is accepting
you as you are, okay?

That��that is fair!

That is fair.

Look, you can��you can...

You can stay
at my mom's house, all right?

If you need a place.

You do not have to do this.
� You don't understand.

� I'm going
through this, too, okay?

� No. No, you're not.

Look...

Look, it's already difficult
being a black man in America.

That's my starting line.

Then... a gay one?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
It is��it is different for me.

It just is.

� I'm sorry, but...

this cannot be the only way.

� Yeah...

it might be.

� Don't. � Look, I just...

I just wanted to let you know
in case...

you didn't hear from me
for a while.

I'm sorry.

� I've been reading your book.

And the message��I can feel
that your words ring true.

And you received the word
from The Light?

� Yes. Sarah, what's going on?

� I need you to explain
something to me.

My father died recently.
� I'm sorry.

� Why don't I feel
at peace knowing

that he's in The Garden?

� You didn't finish my book,
did you?

� You'd know I never saw
a Garden.

Steve added a Garden.

He knew The Light's message
would be less palatable

without a happy ending.

� That's... That's impossible.

Well, what happens to us
after we die, then?

� I don't know what happens
after we die.

All I know is the message
I received.

I can show you what I saw.

� Come in.

Hey. � Hey.

Um...

is this about my ODE?

� Come here.

You did great.

� Well, what was my��
what was my score?

� 86.

� 86...?

� It's good, Vera.

But 86 is��

� It's great.

Okay? You are full of Light.

� I am?

Well, 86 wasn't really good
at Oxford.

� Well, that's great here.

Okay? Hey.

You are great here.

Don't go.

� Bye.

� Hey, you, think I could
see you again tonight?

� Maybe.

Yes.

Good, because, um, I'm gonna
need some cheering up

after getting an earful
from Carla.

You're using her for counsel.

Why?

They can help.

But be careful.

You don't want to ever
need them again.

� So, when we left off,
you were starting

to talk about your anger.

� Rocks?

� I'm not here to drink.

You know, we are here
to do the work.

� "Here to do the work."

Except here's the thing...

If someone schedules
an appointment with me

and my aide shows up instead,

that person knows
that they're low priority.

� Well, then it's a good thing
that I'm not Cal's aide.

� No, you're not.

You're his prop.

� Cal trusts me. And he should.

� I've been accused
of sexual assault.

He put you in a hotel room
with me...

alone.

What does that tell you about
the man's essential character?

� Who was it who drank
in your life, Congressman?

You're going
to drinking problems.

You are really clutching
at straws.

� And you are really
clutching at that drink

like it's a life preserver.

I mean, you haven't taken
a single sip,

but you don't dare put it down.

It gives you comfort.

� It's the smell, isn't it?

It was your mother
who drank whiskey.

Right?

� My mother was always off
at some party.

I was basically raised
by nannies.

But some nights,

very late at night,
she would stumble into my room.

She would kiss my face.

And she would tell me that...

she loved me so much.

� And that is why you're angry.

Isn't it?

I mean, I'd be mad
if my mother only told me

that she loved me when she
had whiskey on her breath.

I suppose...

if you make yourself so
completely unworthy of love...

Women can't let you down.

It's time to let that go,
Congressman.

It's time for the real work
to begin.

� Okay.

� Hi. � Hey.

� It will hurt,

and it may not help you believe
in me or anything,

for that matter.

But you will witness some
of what I saw.

And it may bring you closer
to what you're looking for.

� I'm ready.

� The ego's husk...

Will crumble.

The veil will be lifted.

� The end will be revealed.

The end will be revealed.

The end...

� Will be revealed.
