- Previously on Fortunate Son.
- Whoa! No, no!

He changed your mark
because you wouldn't put out?

I have nowhere else to go.

The remains don't match Linda
Plotnick. It's some other girl.

It's a phone tap. Voice activated.

You bastard! She's alive.

Thought you were dead.

Everyone gathering at the house tonight?

- Kitchen party.
- It appears Robert Kennedy

has just been shot.

My brother need not be idealized

or enlarged in death
beyond what he was in life.

To be remembered simply as
a good and decent man...

who saw wrong and tried to right it,

saw suffering and tried to heal it,

saw war and tried to stop it.

Those of us who loved him

and who take him to his rest today

pray that what he was to us

and what he wished for others

will someday come to
pass for all the world.

In our time of trouble,

we ask God to show us the path.

We have lost Martin Luther King...

... and now Bobby Kennedy.

But we must remember what
they both asked of us.

They asked us to find hope in despair...

... peace in the throes of war,

kindness in the face of evil.

They ask us to welcome those
who are different than us...

... to resist the forces of intolerance,

greed and self-interest.

And our efforts,

individually

and collectively,

can still bring about change,

Even though powerful forces
are working against us,

we can still prevail!

Let us pray.

It's, uh... it's a horrible day,

we're gonna get past it.

You should go back to work.

Parker won't like you
taking the time off.

Ruby, as bad as it is,

maybe this is an opportunity to...

to reset our priorities,
to focus on the kids again,

on... each other.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Your father's going back to work.

Let's go home.

Uh, I have something I need
to do at the university.

- You're gonna be okay?
- Yeah.

I'll be fine. Go.

Okay.

- Come on, babe.
- Uh, Ruby!

Don't go yet!

You need to talk to them.

See you later.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

We have to stay together right now.

It's more important than ever.

We have to be there for each other.

It is very important.

One day at a time for each other.

They can't kill ideas with bullets.

If we stop working

for change, they win.

So, we need to help each other heal now,

and then we need to get back to work

because people are
still dying in Vietnam.

So...

as much as we want to, we can't stop.

Right on.

Well, how about that, eh?
Some guy in the kitchen.

Kennedy, now he was encouraging these...

foreign agitators and lowlife hippies,

so it's what he got for his trouble.

You watch.

I talked to Mrs. Kelly's hairdresser.

Apparently, the Kellys
have come into some money

- recently.
- How do you know a hairdresser?

I introduced myself off-hours.

Oh, I see.

No, you don't see.

Anyway, the point is they
put a down payment on a boat.

A new mink stole for the
missus. This guy is on the take.

Huh...

You know you get kind of
pink when you're angry?

Pinker than normal?

This is an inspired sight!

You should have a little sign
that says "Police at work".

Well, what have you got?
The Plotnick girl, Destiny,

- whatever she calls herself.
- Checked with border patrol,

nothing about her trying
to get in the U.S. though.

Canvassed the parks? Asked the
hippies what happened to her?

The hippies don't like talking to us.

Of course not, you look like narcs.

Find her. She's a murder suspect,

and if she's on my turf, I want her.

- Murder suspect?
- She sent that poor kid

to her car and then blew it up.

That's murder in my books.

Hi. Can I help you with something?

Uh, I told my husband
I had to run in and pee.

Seems like I have to pee
every 20 minutes these days.

Oh, right.

- The restroom's just...
- I don't actually...

have to pee.

- I'm looking for Sandro.
- Sandro?

- I am Sandro.
- I'm Megan Ferris.

Megan, welcome.

Where is your husband?

He's in the car.

- Why not bring him in?
- Okay, but...

... first, there's something
I should probably tell you.

- You built a fire?
- We were cold.

Look, I told you not to build a fire!

I could smell the smoke from the road.

- You keep these curtains closed.
- Travis...

if the cops haven't found me
by now, they're not going to.

- They think I'm dead.
- Do you want my help or not?

I'm gonna try and get you out of town,

but for now, you do what I
say, both of you. Understood?

And close those curtains too.

You had no right to hide

- my recall letter from me.
- You can't go back to Vietnam.

The doctor said you're unfit for duty.

You know, we have a committee here

to help get you resettled in Canada.

I'm not a deserter!

If I have to go back to Vietnam, I will.

Technically, you already
failed to report, so...

"Let's have a vacation in
Canada before the baby comes".

Did you think I'd just
turn my back on my country

and become a Canadian?

Yes. If you go back
to Vietnam and survive,

it'll still destroy you.
And if you're destroyed,

- so am I.
- We're going home.

No. If you go back, you go back alone.

He's falling apart,
but he won't admit it.

If you saw him at night...

The doctor said there was no way
they should try to recall him,

but they did.

And the baby's coming in September.

Would you excuse me for a minute?

Yeah.

Did you know she didn't
tell him about this?

No. I would never have agreed to this.

Of course it's crazy, but...
it takes a lot of courage.

Or desperation.

- You go home.
- I'll take care of this.

Okay.

- Yes?
- Uh,

my name is Ellen
Howard. I'm a fourth-year

economics student, and I
want to file a complaint.

My professor made an
inappropriate suggestion.

He, uh... he suggested

that I needed to...

have sex with him to get a good mark.

- Is that what he said?
- He implied it.

Implied, well...

- It was very clear.
- Mm-hmm.

And I want to file a formal complaint.

A formal complaint is a serious matter.

You want to be sure that
in your disappointment

over a bad mark, you
didn't misunderstand.

I didn't misunderstand.

They'll say that your attraction

to your professor contributed to
leading behaviour on your part.

That's...

- That's not what happened.
- I see it a lot, honey.

And if you make a fuss,
it will go badly for you.

It generally does.

I, um...

want to speak to the dean,

- please.
- It's not gonna happen.

His schedule is full all week.

Fine.

I'll put it in writing.

- Is this everything?
- I found some newspaper clippings.

- Look like she been hiding them.
- What were they about?

Petersburg. Fire at
the draft board office,

- the dead security guard.
- Good.

We're making progress. I'm
gonna need to know the names

of the others involved.

She's not gonna tell me that.

Ah, she will eventually. She may not say

their names out loud,
but we will find them.

Did you know Ruby's
father is a U.S. senator,

Robert Harden? He's the one on the news

- investigating the FBI budget.
- That's right.

I read that he's planning
to run for president.

What's your point?

I'm just wondering if it's a coincidence

that Ruby's father is fighting
the director of the FBI

who are tracking his daughter.

It's a good question.

But it's the wrong one.

The question should be

what information can I get for you, sir?

Right.

- Yeah.
- Calvin, it's me.

I didn't think I was gonna hear

from you again. Now you're up in Canada

with the moose and the
polar bears and whatever.

- Haha!

- Oh, I know. I...

- I shouldn't have called in.

- I don't believe that.

You know why I'm here.

This is where the battle ground is.

This is where your heart is.

I'm not like I was in Petersburg.

I don't know why I called.
It was a mistake. I'm sorry.

Hey, sorry I didn't come to
the service this morning.

It's alright.

You know, I didn't notice this before.

I didn't recognize him
at first because he's

- younger in the photo.
- So am I.

Yeah, but then I saw him on the news.

Senator Harden, right?

Yeah. He's been making

life miserable for the FBI in
the Appropriations committee.

Of course, that's his singular talent

making people miserable.

He said on the news he
might run for president.

Oh, well, we'll see.

They tried to draft him
before and he's backed away.

You know, that thing
you were involved in,

the direct action, did
your father know about it?

No.

Hoping to keep it that way.

You know, my family,
we don't talk politics.

The Hunter family only
ever votes one way.

No discussion required, you know.

Would your father have
voted for Bobby Kennedy?

Ha! No, ma'am. And I
wouldn't dare argue with him.

No?

I argued with my father constantly.

In fact, he encouraged it.

"Defend your ideas or be
prepared to change them".

Even though we disagreed about
so many fundamental issues,

I was still taught that
it was our responsibility

to serve others, to leave the world

a better, kinder place.

I was taught to serve in
a different way, I guess.

Hello?

It's Sandro. He needs your help.

If you're thinking about going back

across the border,

they'll put you in a
stockade by tomorrow.

You're already AWOL.
I was in the shit too.

Operation Kentucky was my last action.

Khe Sanh.

I was driving a deuce and a half.

I had to stop to fix a flat, and
we lost touch with the convoy.

They caught us on open ground.

Tires were my responsibility.

You can't save those guys now.

No one can.

And you go back, no one can save you.

And it's a war for nothing.

Your wife made a tough call for
you, it took a lot of courage.

You need to listen to her.

- Oh.
- Hi!

- Hey.
- I'm Ellen.

My mom, Ruby, told me what was going on.

I figured you'd need
some better pillows.

There's some other
stuff in here too, but...

- It's nice of you, thank you.
- You're welcome.

Sorry, I'm just... It's just sinking in

that I'm gonna have my
baby in another country,

possibly by myself.

Well, there's people
here that can help you.

But you're right, it's
not the same as family.

Yeah.

We, uh, we moved here

from the U.S. two years ago.

Basically, all my mom does now is

help people come across the border.

Our house is like the
underground welcome wagon,

except without the cookies.

You don't sound very
thrilled to be here.

- Hmm, I'm not.
- Yeah.

Hey, Canada's alright, I guess.

It's kind of like low-Cal America,

except the cigarettes
and beer are weird.

Megan?

Oh, Wayne. Oh, God!

I'm so sorry, babe. I
should have told you.

I'm so sorry.

Kelly here.

There's a deserter named Wayne Ferris

- at the church. Pick him up.
- I thought

you wanted to handle
stuff like that yourself.

Why do you think I'm paying you?

- That's the same guy as before.
- Lang.

You wanna make a splash this
time. Pick up the deserter

and make it noisy.

Yes, sir.

- Was he on your list?

Logistics, weapons, money.

If we can turn him, then
we can get to all of them.

And now we know he was at
Petersburg, so... This is nice work,

You still there?

Is something bothering you?

Yeah. Yeah, the kitchen party.

You knew about Kennedy
before it happened.

Don't go down that road, Travis.

someone else set the hook.

- Are you saying I'm wrong?

There's a new deserter

at the church... Wayne Ferris.

- I just met him yesterday.

Why not do what you did last time?

Because we want to
make a splash this time.

You'll see. Just make sure we get him.

Hey, Ted.

Do you want a ride home?

Oh! Unless you, uh...

No, I... I'd love a ride.
I'm totally wiped tonight.

Look, I just want you to know

if you have a relationship
with someone...

- You mean with that guy?
- No, I...

I just mean if you do,

I don't want you to feel
like I'm gonna rat you out

to Parker or anything.

I would never do that, and
certainly wouldn't be indiscrete

about your personal life.

Hey, um... I met him at Victor's.

He probably thinks there's
more to it than I do.

I don't really want to
get into it more than that.

Sure.

His name is Wayne Ferris, U.S. marine.

He's a deserter. I
want you to pick him up.

We're gonna send him back where
he belongs. You'll find him

- at that hippie church.
- Um...

What?

What about Linda Plotnick? I thought
you wanted us to look for her.

Am I the only one who can manage
more than one task at a time?

Is there a reason you want
this deserter in particular?

I mean, you can't throw a rock
around here without hitting one.

Yes, there is a reason. Now, go get him.

Okay.

- I wanna go to town.
- No, we can't.

Destiny, somebody tried to blow you up;

aren't you like even a
little concerned about that?

Yeah, of course, but
everyone thinks I'm dead.

Like, even your parents.
I mean, nobody's gonna be

looking for me anymore.
It's kind of fun being dead.

No, wait.

Come on. I can be like, invisible.

You know? With sunglasses and
kerchief. You know, just...

Yeah, but Travis told
us to stay in the cabin;

we should stay in the cabin.

So?

Travis isn't your dad.

You don't have to do what Travis says.

I'm gonna go to town to get some hash.

You can stay here if you want.

Wait, wait, wait!

Just wait a bit.

At least, I don't know,
let me get you some clothes.

I could probably borrow some
of my sister's old stuff.

Yeah, I don't really think
your sister's my style.

Yeah.

I think that's the point though, right?

You don't want to look like yourself.

- I guess.
- You're nuts, you know that?

You have no idea.

I have my complaint here in writing.

I'd like to deliver
it to the dean myself.

- To make sure it gets to him.
- Are you saying I wouldn't

- give that to the dean?
- No, ma'am.

I'm implying it.

Excuse me, sir. I just
wonder if I could have

- a minute of your time.
- Oh, I'm late for a meeting, I'm sorry.

A bit of a pressing matter,
I really would appreciate it.

Miss Howard, I take reports
like this very seriously,

and I need you to know
that the university

will be looking into
Professor Triskin's conduct.

- What happens now?
- We'll be in touch.

Okay. Thank you very much, sir.
I appreciate your time.

Mm-hmm.

Can I help you?

Yeah. Do you happen to know

- the owner of this vehicle?
- Yeah, Wayne Ferris, recently

- arrived from Eugene, Oregon.
- Why are you here?

Is he inside?

We could go in and look for ourselves.

Not unless you get invited.
This is a legal sanctuary.

Well, how about you invite us in then?

If you come to worship with us on
Sunday, you're welcome, no problem,

but if you're here to arrest an
innocent man and his pregnant wife,

I don't think so.

He's got a pregnant wife.

It's one thing to allow draft
dodgers into our country,

but deserters are a
different story altogether.

These are criminals
evading American justice.

Now, the bleeding-heart
liberals are gonna tell you

that it's an unjust war
and all that baloney,

but the hard truth is the kind of man

who would abandon his army,

his country, his comrades

is not somebody that
we want in this country.

Hey. It's the Travis
guy we should have busted

two weeks ago.

Walking right up to us.

Like he knows we can't touch him.

What can we do for you?

He's gonna make a run for it.

That wouldn't be very
smart given all this.

If you're watching, you'll get him.

As good neighbours.
we have an obligation,

a legal obligation to
return him to American...

Smells like we're being set up.

Uh-huh.

New information that
the U.S. Marine Corps deserter

holed up at the Holy Shepherd Church

is currently being investigated
by U.S. authorities

for inappropriate conduct in Vietnam.

There is speculation that
these pending charges

may have motivated his flight to Canada.

Nameless sources

unspecific allegations;
someone wants him back

- in the U.S.
- How could the police

- have known he was there?
- Um, it's a good question.

You're still planning
on going down there?

Petersburg can't have been for nothing.

A young man lost his
life. If we stop fighting

for an end to this war, then
they win, nothing changes.

At any cost.

Of course not.

It's all about Bobby.
"Let's get Bobby elected,

and then we'll put an end to the war".

At least, that was the promise, right?

Yes.

At least there'd be some end
to this, some way of moving on,

but this thing keeps going on and on.

It's like another protest,
another deserter,

another border run. It's like
you're trying to get caught.

I don't want other
people to get in trouble

- on our behalf.
- It's alright.

We can hold out, bring
in food. Megan can have

her baby right here if she wants.

We have legal precedent on our side,

but we cannot assume that they
won't make a move on the church,

especially with all the
disinformation they're spreading.

It's all lies.

I know, but the public would fall for it

and pressure the police to move in.

No way. We're gonna hold fast, man.

We will, but we cannot
assume that precedent will be

respected in this case.

It's okay, I got it.

It's okay.

You know, I think Wayne should make

a statement to the media.
The sooner the better.

Make a big splash, get a
crowd down here supporting them

- that they can show on the news.
- Far out.

- I'll get the word out.
- Then, they need to make a run for it.

They would be picked up instantly.

Not if there's a crowd out there.

Look, it'll be the best chance to
get to slip away. Sooner or later,

they'll come in, and
then it'll be too late.

Travis is right. They've already
started pulling war resisters

out of churches in New
York and Baltimore;

it'll only be a matter of time.

You'd be taking a huge risk.

Everyone has risked
so much for me already.

Even if we got away, where would we go?

Let us work on that.

Wait.

We could have a be-in. Right?

Music, food, acid!

It'll be great!

The Wayne Ferris Be-in!

It could work.

We shouldn't be here.

You're right.

We shouldn't be in this
country, we should be in Cuba

- where the revolution is.
- Yeah, see?

I don't think they
just let people come in

- whenever they want.
- But there's always a way, Ralph.

We just... Anyway, we have
to get to the U.S. first,

Florida, and then we pay
someone to take us across.

My mom knows somebody in the
Communist Party in Seattle.

You know, maybe if we show up there,

tell them what we want, and
where we want to go and why,

maybe they have contacts
in Florida, you know?

Exactly.

Ralph, now you're thinking.

Yeah, Okay, okay. Now, we scored,

can we get back? This is
making me really nervous.

No.

That's right, yeah!

We're behind you, Wayne!

I served my country with honour.

There's no military investigation
into my record in Vietnam.

He'll run for it, you watch.

We'll need eyes on every
exit out of that building.

As the police know, the
church has a legal right

to offer refuge to Wayne and Megan.

And we believe the community

is behind us, and we invite them

to show their support at a be-in

- here later today.
- Yeah!

Peace, everyone!

It is time to say no to this illegal

and dishonest war!

- Stop the war!
- Stop the war!

Stop the war! Stop the war!

I'm not arresting a man
with a pregnant wife;

- Laura would kill me.
- Any ideas?

Stop the war! Stop the war!

Let ourselves get set up, I guess.

They're gonna see to stay
warm. Megan in particular.

Jackets, socks, gloves.

Poor kid. Not how you want

to spend the last few
months of your pregnancy.

Oh! Can you call Sandro and
ask him if his social insurance

and citizenship forms are
due. I need to bring those.

Have you thought about
how the police knew

they were in the church?

Have you heard any clicks or
strange sounds on the phone?

You need to think back to
all your recent conversations.

Come on, Calvin, pick up.

Pick up.

Oh, God!

Careful! Away from the car.

Step back to the sidewalk, sir.

Stop it! Get away from the car, sir!

Do not put paint on my
car, sir! I could arrest you

for defacing...

Maybe we should help Grady out.

Let them have their fun.

Just be ready to move
the second Ferris bolts.

Nice to meet you.

- Ruby, we're great.
- Hey. Looks good.

It's time.

- Okay, yeah.
- Okay, we're good.

Okay, okay, everybody, listen up!

We're all here to try and
stop the war in Vietnam!

And to support the brave war
resisters from down South.

But I want to introduce
you to someone who's done

more than anyone

our amazing leader and the backbone

of our committee: Ruby Howard!

Ruby!

I want to thank all of you

for coming out to support
Wayne and Megan Farris.

I also want to thank our committee

volunteers who work so tirelessly

week in and week out

to help end the
senseless war in Vietnam.

Many of the victims in this war

- are children.
- Babies!

Boys sent to fight

and die

by a president they are
too young to vote for.

- It's not right!
- When a government pursues

an immoral and violent action

like this, it is
everyone's responsibility,

no matter what country we live in,

to fight this injustice.

- Yeah!
- Peace and love! Woo!

No one gets to sit
this one out. Not now.

Not after Dr. King.

Not after Bobby Kennedy.

We love you, Ruby!

In the van!

Hey, hey, move!
Move, get out of the way!

Get off the car! Off the car!

Oh, crap! Let's get the barrier!

Thank you, everybody!

It's chicken pot pie,
not hot chicken pie.

- No, two different things.
- No, it's not.

It's a pie with a chicken in it.

And the chicken is hot,
right? Hot chicken pie.

I give up.

Maybe we should pull him
over. What do you think?

Yeah, sure.

Get out of the car! Put
your hands on your heads!

Lower your weapon, Grady.

You got the wrong hippies.

Captain Johanson is a
friend of the committee.

He lives on Skidegate

in the Queen Charlotte Islands.
He's agreed to take you up there

to help you get settled.
There are good jobs up there

for both of you if you want.

How far away is it?

Oh, it's just a few days north by boat.

It's very peaceful, and
you'll be safe there.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- Good luck.

Police are obviously
taking a bigger interest

If I was you, I'd be running
as far north as I could get.

Yeah.

That would probably be smart.

No. And what would I do there? Hide?

I don't want to spend the
rest of my life hiding.

... I just want you to know
how much it means to me

what you and your family have done.
