La Brea (2021) s02e13 Episode Script

1
In my vision, you were surrounded
by these red flowers.
You were dead.
So you did find something.
After everything we've been through,
you still don't trust me?
Ella's never abandoned me.
There's no way I'm abandoning her.
I'm not gonna make it.
I love you.
Sometimes it just feels
like other people are moving on,
making new memories here.
Mine are all still back home.
Whatever progress you've made
against the cancer goes away immediately
if you're not doing
consistent treatment.
Get to the infirmary.
There's nobody there.
You can get your pills.
This project has taken
everything from me.
I gotta stop it.
Those explosives will
destroy the entire building.
I made a promise to my family
to get them home.
You need to give this up.
It's not gonna stop.
Levi!
- You guys made it.
- Yeah.
Here, help me get this off him.
We've got to move.
- We're running out of time here.
- Save yourselves.
Leave me. Get out of here.
Dad, we can't.
We have to help him.
Get out of here!
Come on.
Ty, help me.
I'm gonna lift this up.
You pull him out.
Ah!
The building's gone.
I don't know how we're gonna get home.
We'll figure it out.
Oh ♪
Thought I'd go and leave ♪

All your life,

I realize our new
predicament isn't ideal.
But where some see problems,
I see opportunities.
Now that the building's gone,
there's no denying we're here
for the long term.
That being the case,
we need a more permanent setup,
starting with a leadership structure.
You're talking about an election?
I am. Someone needs to be in charge.
If we want to survive,
we have to be efficient.
I think it's a great idea.
If we're going down this road,
I'm throwing my name in the ring.
Oh, yeah? Kind of like a dark horse,
JFK kind of vibe?
- I like it.
- If we're gonna do this,
we'll need oversight.
I hereby appoint myself
Election Commissioner.
Please stop.
His nonsense aside,
I'm also putting my name up.
Let's take a few hours
before we reconvene
for speeches and voting.
I'll be watching, so please,
no one even think about bribing me.
OK.
Wow, local elections.
I guess we're officially
a community, huh?
What do you think
our property tax is gonna be,
three oranges,
a basket of fish?
Well, you're you're really
taking this in stride.
I don't think we have a choice.
Lost our way back home,
both my parents.
You know, I just I just wanna focus
- on you and me and the kids, right?
- Yeah.
I did get you something.
- What is this?
- Yeah, I
- I got it from the wedding.
- Aw, thank you. It's beautiful.
- Yeah.
- Maybe
maybe we can go on a a long walk,
and I can thank you in private.
Oh, I'd like that.
You're full of good ideas.
- I am full of good ideas.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- Ow.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
No, it's fine. It's fine.
I'm fine.
Gavin, I'm fine.
- What what's up?
- I I know.
I I've seen this cut before
in my vision.
What are you saying?
It was a fresh wound on your palm,
same size, same placement.
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
Yeah, maybe.
Or maybe it's a sign
my vision's about to happen.
If you're hungry.
Ty.
I just wanted to say thanks
for getting Paara to let
me stay here while I recover.
Didn't seem like you had another option.
You're right.
No one at this Clearing wants
to talk to me right now.
I'm sure you can understand
their position.
Yeah, I can.
What I can't quite
see is where I go from here.
You know, they say fresh air
is often the best medicine.
Join me for a walk?
What do you say?
Let me ask you a question.
Do you guys see any of those red trees
around here with the flowers?
- Because I don't.
- Mom, you know
it's not that simple.
Yeah, those trees are everywhere.
And now we don't even have
a way to get out of here.
But we have been dealing with this
since we came back down here,
and I'm still standing.
Mom, this is different.
Look, it's just
another challenge, right?
It's just another problem
we have to overcome.
Your mom is right.
We just have to keep our eyes open
and keep living our lives.
- OK. We live our lives.
- Yeah.
All right.
I'll go, uh, finish my chores.
I will help.
It's gonna be OK.
Yeah, I I know. I know,
because I'm not gonna lose you.
I'm working on a plan.
We'll figure this out.
There's a lot I've been thinking about,
a lot I need to say.
We don't need to get
into all of that right now.
I'd like to.
To be honest, I could
use someone to talk to.
Levi, I'm not your therapist.
- Are you all right?
- I'm just
I'm just a little light-headed. It's OK.
You should really go on without me.
Here.
You know, I'd like to go back alone.
- No, it's OK. I'll go with you.
- No.
And for the record, I am far from OK.
I have cancer.
And the pills that would have
helped me were destroyed
when you blew up that building.
Ty, I'm I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
I had a second chance at life here.
I was looking forward
to building my life with Paara.
And now whatever time I have left
has been cut short because of you.
Like I said, I'll go back alone.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How's the speech coming?
It's no Gettysburg Address,
but it's something.
Hey, what happened to your wedding ring?
Oh, yeah. I lost it.
Well, you don't seem
too concerned about it.
I don't know where it went.
I remember when I was eight
and you lost it,
you turned the whole house
upside down for days.
It's just a ring.
That ring means Mom.
It means home.
I know we're stuck for now,
but we can't stop fighting
to get out of here.
This, for better or worse, is our home,
and we need we need
to take pride in that.
And we can do this by, you know,
picking up after ourselves,
for starters.
Are you practicing your speech?
Believe me, I need to.
Public speaking is not my thing.
That might be the cutest
thing I've ever seen you do.
Great. Well, I hope the rest of them
take me a little bit more seriously.
This means a lot to you, doesn't it?
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, I do feel like I could
actually make a difference,
help people.
And I finally
you know, I think I finally get
what my mom wanted me to be.
Ella always had
a good feeling about you.
I know you miss her.
Yeah, I do.
But I've been trying
to focus on the future.
If these coordinates are a piece
of something larger that could
actually get us home,
then I need to
I need to figure out how.
Well, you figured the first part out.
If there is more to the story,
you'll find it.
Come here.
Your lips are cold.
Your hands are clammy, as well.
You sure there's nothing else going on?
- No, I'm good.
- Yeah?
Maybe you should get Sam
to check you out.
Hey. I'm ready to hear that speech,
- my liege.
- Do not call me that.
Oh, my God.
I'm fine. Go work on your speech.
I'm gonna take another look
at these coordinates.
All right.
Idiot.
Veronica? I wanted to talk to
you about something.
Sure. About what?
Actually, those
coordinates you got there.
- Levi.
- Kira.
- You're alive.
- Yes.
I'm not here for a fight.
- What do you want?
- Help.
Me and the others who survived
the building collapse,
we're trying to start over.
We made shelter
in an old research outpost.
We have food, medicine, water.
But
We need other things too.
What does that have to do with me?
Taamet told me he had a lockbox buried
inside the village,
a 10,000 B.C. survival kit
with tools, weapons, seeds
everything we need to live down here.
And you want me to get it for you?
You can go in there. I can't.
After everything you've done,
why would I help you?
Because it's not just about me.
It's everyone you displaced.
Nobody can ever get home again.
Don't you owe them help?
What about a trade?
You say you have medicine.
Do you still have access to
the treatment for Ty's cancer?
I do.
I'm willing to give it to you
if you agree to meet me
with Taamet's box by the end of the day.
Tell me where to find it.
- Silas?
- Gavin, my boy.
You're a welcome sight.
I was worried about you.
You look like hell.
Eh, it takes more than
a bullet to strike me down,
not that I have much to look forward to.
Paara still plans to hold me accountable
for my past transgressions.
Maybe I can talk to her.
No, I don't think
that would be of any use.
That's not why you're here, is it?
No. No, it's not.
I came to talk to you about this.
It's Moore's journal.
Now, it turns out
that this is actually a puzzle.
Someone solved it, and it's coordinates.
They lead to something down here.
We just don't know what it is.
You don't say.
Now, you worked with Moore.
If anybody can make sense
of it, it's you.
What is it?
I knew it.
This journal isn't just theory.
This this is recorded data.
He was working
on real-world experiments.
I don't understand what that means.
It means Moore needed a machine
to create this data
A machine here, in 10,000 B.C.
You're saying he made a portal here.
- I think there's a chance, yes.
- If he did,
I might finally be able
to get my family home.
I I knew Moore better than anyone.
When he left the building, he
he lived here in the Village.
He told me he wanted to make
a machine of his own,
a machine that could be operated safely
and wouldn't create sinkholes.
I didn't know how far
he'd gotten until now.
But I have to warn you.
Moore was incredibly protective
of his work secretive.
It will not be a simple journey
to find that portal.
Time to cast your ballots,
or stones, as it were.
If you're with team Sam,
they go in here.
Team Lucas goes in the other one.
OK, let's have at it.
Hey, that can wait.
- Everything all right?
- Yeah, more than all right.
I just learned we may still
have a way home.
I thought we lost that
with the building.
I know, so did I. But I spoke to Silas,
and he believes that
Moore built another portal,
and it's down here,
maybe just 15 miles away.
Ho hold on.
How do you know where it is?
Veronica figured it out.
She figured out the coordinates,
and Silas believes
that's what they lead to.
I knew it. I I felt it.
We need to check this out now.
But I mean, no one's
ever seen this portal, right?
Just saying, 15 miles, it's a
it's a long stroll for a slice of maybe.
I'd walk double that
if it meant we had a chance.
I know this is a lot to take in,
but if this is a way home,
we can't ignore this.
This could be how we save you.
Yeah. Everybody who's going,
gather up your stuff.
We'll leave in about an hour.
- Hey, I'll be there in a second, OK?
- OK.
You did this, you know?
You've given us all hope.
I was just following my gut.
Besides, we're not there yet.
Well, if your gut gets us home,
I'm treating you to a spa day.
You don't look so hot.
I've been getting headaches
and dizzy spells and nausea.
Your symptoms could be from the wasps.
Toxins can stay in the body
for weeks after the sting.
Oh, maybe that's it.
Let me let me see if I can
- find you something for the pain.
- OK.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Are you ready to get
the hell out of here?
Yeah.
OK, let's do it.
Keeping busy, I see.
This is none of your business.
- Keep moving.
- What exactly
are you doing here?
I'm not gonna tell you again.
- Go.
- It'd be a shame
if one of the guards were to be
suddenly called over and saw you here.
I bet you they'd be very interested
in what you're digging up.
I made a deal with Kira.
- Kira?
- She asked me to find this.
And in exchange, she's gonna give me
cancer medication for Ty.
I'll keep quiet.
- But I want in.
- What? No.
- Why?
- I'm to be put
on trial in two days' time.
But if I help save the life
of Paara's husband,
I may earn a reprieve.
I think they're looking for me.
OK. You can come with me.
But we need a way out of here.
Getting out of the Village
won't be a problem.
I'll show you the way.
We got a problem.
This direction's too steep to scale.
We need to find a way around it.
OK. Let's scout ahead.
Everyone else, take a break.
Let me go look over here, OK?
Hey, idiot.
Why am I an idiot?
Why haven't you made up with Riley yet?
I'm not talking about that
with my kid sister.
Look, if things work out,
we make it back home,
real life is gonna pull everyone
in different directions.
So if you want a future with Riley,
you need to fix things now.
You know, you're good at this.
- Your dad must be a great teacher.
- He is.
Ooh, you're gonna need
a larger bandage
Which I don't have.
I'm gonna go see what my dad's got.
- Riley.
- Were you and Mom getting divorced?
All this time, you said
you wanted to get back to her.
Dad, why didn't you say anything?
Now's not the time.
We might be going home soon.
Now's exactly the time.
You didn't lose your ring.
You took it off.
It's complicated.
Right now we need to focus
on finding that portal.
We found a way around the hill.
- We need to go.
- Dad.
All right, everyone, let's move out.
We're clear of the Village.
I want to see what's inside the box.
Kira said it was full
of seeds, tools, and weapons.
It hardly seems big enough for all that.
I've known Kira for years.
With her, there's always an angle.
We need to find something
to break this lock with.
Silas? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Where the hell did you go?
So Gavin thinks we're
about half a kilometer out
from the portal.
All right.
I know we might be going home
and everything,
but why are you so happy?
This ain't the Judah I know.
Eh, just thinking about my hot tub,
my hot wife.
Yeah, that's right, my hot wife.
Didn't know I was married, did you?
You never asked.
And you're still not
paying attention to me.
No, I'm not, dude,
because I'm looking at that.
Whoa. Hey, guys.
Over here.
Oh, God.
Did an animal do this?
Yeah, it looks that way.
- Damn it.
- What?
We're here.
This is where the coordinates end.
Then why are there nothing
but dead bodies here?
Eve. They had a kid with them.
Who were these people?
I'm more concerned
with what did this to them.
No way.
You all right, man?
Uh, the day we fell down here,
I was actually on my way
to a job interview.
We were set to meet
at a café near the Peterson.
Yeah?
This is their business card.
That's the same symbol as this locket.
What does that mean?
I have no freaking idea.
Hey, guys, check it out.
We've got something.
I think it's a lockbox.
Do you have that key,
- the one you found with Moore's skeleton?
- Yeah.
Looks like a map
to some kind of cave system.
That could be where the portal is.
Then that's where we're going.
Silas! Hey.
Stay away, or I'll break
your ribs again.
That box is my only way to help Ty.
I have to get it to Kira.
You're a fool if you think
she'll help you.
Kira took my daughter away from me.
I'm gonna use this box
to get close to her.
Then I'll make her pay
for what she's done.
Listen to me.
Killing Kira will not
bring your daughter back.
And it sure as hell will not
make you feel any better.
You have no idea
what you're talking about!
Actually, I do.
I lost my daughter.
And when she died,
it was like someone put
a thousand-pound weight on my chest.
And I thought that if I could
stop the thing that hurt her,
if I destroyed Lazarus,
then maybe that weight
would finally go away.
But it's still right here.
Revenge doesn't fix the pain.
Maybe we can get justice
and those pills.
What do you have in mind?
No improvement since this morning?
No. But like you said,
it's probably just from the wasp sting.
You know, whatever
you tell me stays between us.
You know what I took from
your medical kit, don't you?
The pregnancy test.
Did you take it?
No, not yet.
It's okay to be nervous.
I don't know how to be a mom.
I didn't exactly have great role models
in the parent department.
So you know what not to do.
But the first thing about being a mom
is knowing if you are one.
Yeah, you're right.
I'll tell Lucas what's going on.
And then I'll take the test.
Wait!
Hey. Hey, it's okay. I'm a friend.
Is this yours?
Here.
It's okay.
- What is it, Iz?
- It's one of those flowers.
Iz, where are you going?
To get to Moore's portal,
we have to go through there.
I'm really sorry to hear this.
Can't imagine how hard this is.
But if Eve is in danger,
others could be too.
Why don't a few of us go ahead
to the cave,
then circle back once we know
everything's safe?
I think that's a smart plan.
I'll go with you.
Someone needs to look
after the people here.
I'll stay.
Eve, what do you think?
I think I should stay.
- All right.
- Come here.
We're gonna get through this.
I'll be back before you know it.
- Love you, Mom.
- Love you.
You got this.
You didn't say
you were bringing friends.
All kinds of dangers out here.
Better to be safe.
Let's just do the trade.
I brought my part.
So did I.
But I do need to check one thing first.
What's with the Geiger counter?
Those are fuel rods.
You need them for any machine
that manipulates time.
But I destroyed your machine.
You destroyed the first one.
After reading Moore's journal,
I think he might have built another.
This isn't Taamet's box.
This was Moore's. You lied to me.
I'm still gonna need it.
Wait, if there's another
way to get us home,
- we can all use it.
- We tried that last time.
Well, then I'm not giving you the box.
You don't have a choice.
Ah!
Good work, Silas.
Take her to the Village.
Your daughter's death changed you.
You helped people today,
including my husband.
Perhaps you deserve another chance.
Don't waste this.
I was hoping I could ask you
a couple of questions,
like how long have you been here?
Where are you from?
Hey. Hi. I'm sure you're
probably pretty scared
being down here alone, huh?
My name is Eve.
What's your name?
Petra. Ich heisse Petra.
Well, that explains
why she doesn't understand us.
Anybody speak German?
Yeah, actually.
I studied it for two semesters.
Let's see what I can remember.
Guten tag, Petra.
Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch.
That's great. Keep going.
Uh, mein name ist Scott.
- Hey. How you feeling?
- Better, I think.
- I want to talk to you about something.
- Yeah.
You know, there's something
I want to say to you too.
Truth is, the closer
we get to going home,
the more I'm not sure it's what I want.
You want to stay here,
with saber tooths and no plumbing?
I'm a better person here.
I mean, I could be
the freaking mayor, right?
I can't be that same guy up there.
Well, what if we work on it together?
Sure, okay.
Or I ruin everything close
to me like I did before.
What?
What are you thinking now?
I need to tell you something,
but I don't
maybe now's not a good time.
Hey. We need to find shelter.
There's more caves around here.
We should find one.
Petra, we need to, uh,
gehen to a cave
to a a hohle.
Nein. Nein.
Uh, monster.
- Monster. Monster.
- Monster?
Petra, what do you mean?
Ask her where she saw that.
Uh, wo ist das?
That's the direction everyone went.
I have to warn them.
What about Gavin's vision?
I'm not letting
my family walk into danger.
I'm going.
- Okay, then I am too.
- Okay, fine. Let's move.
Based on the map,
the portal must be somewhere nearby.
What is this?
Looks like it's been
retrofitted for some reason.
Jesus.
This looks like an animal made it.
Yeah, a really frickin' big one.
Let's just keep going, okay?
It's good to see that smile again.
Honestly, I was starting
to give up hope.
I don't know if these are gonna cure me,
but it's more than I had before.
And now we have a future together.
And that future begins today.
Paara.
I'll be right back.
I, uh, wanted to say thank you
for what you did for me today.
I also wanted to apologize.
I shouldn't have snapped at you earlier.
No, it's understandable.
I just hope that I've made it up to you.
No better amends than
potentially saving my life.
So
where do you go from here?
I took away the chance
for a lot of people to go home.
Maybe if I bring this box
to them, it'll help.
Well, I'd like to help too.
Want some company?
Feels like I owe you a walk
from this morning.
I'd like that.
There's something through here.
This is it.
Is the portal in there?
You hear that?
- Are you guys okay?
- Mom?
Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey. What are you doing?
I thought you were gonna stay put.
I had to warn you.
There's something here,
something dangerous.
What? Gavin?
Look.
This is what I saw.
It's coming towards us.
Dad!
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- I'm okay.
- Dad!
No. Gavin!
No. Gavin. Gavin!
