Why is driving such a
difficult concept in this city?
Go!
Please.
I don't think they can hear you, Ma.
Hey, Iz, you're single
not multi-axis, right?
What are you talking about?
Your leg.
I understand. Why do you care?
It's for my college essay.
Specificity is important.
So you're writing about her
disability for your essay?
You're an idiot.
Hey, college admissions are competitive.
What do you want from me?
- [news radio playing]
- High of 78, low of 68.
Getting down to a breezy 65 degrees
in the big city tonight.
Morning rush hour
- Dream on, buddy.

[car horns honking]
Ugh.
- What's wrong?
- It's my new boss.
He is such an ass.
What'd you do?
Thank you for thinking
this is all my fault.
That's very that's very sweet of you.
I've been late a few times.
Well, there is a real easy fix.
Stop dropping us off at school.
- You don't have to drive us.
- It's weird.
We can take the bus
like every other kid.
Honestly, this helicopter
mom thing has to stop.
Maybe things would be easier
if we moved back to San Bernardino
and you gave Dad another chance.
Hold on, are you kidding?
- Iz, he doesn't deserve it
- He's doing his best.
Enough, okay? Please, just stop.

Good to meet you, Gavin.
Well, I appreciate you taking the time.
Jim Giffords insisted.
Says you were the best pilot
he ever had under his command.
Well, Jim is prone to exaggeration.
So I hear you're looking for a job.
I've been out of the Air Force
in the last two years so
I'm looking for a way back in.
Why the sudden interest
after all this time?
My wife and kids relocated
to LA a couple of months ago
so I wanted to stay close to 'em.
That's why I felt there
might be a place for me here.
I looked at your file, Gavin.
Said your plane crashed in
the desert three years ago.
And that afterward you started
I'm not sure how to put this but
you started seeing things.
[clears throat]
I know how that sounds.
I had a pretty bad concussion.
Doctor said it was a residual effect.
Look. [exhales deeply]
The truth is, it's all behind me now.
I haven't had an episode
in a very long time.
But you were medically discharged.
I'm not asking you to
put me in a cockpit.
I'll take whatever you got.
I know it's a big ask,
but I got 20 years on the job
and that's invaluable experience.
I just want to help.
Well, no guarantees,
but let me see what I can do.
[phones ringing, people chattering]
First responders are
already on the scene.
The devastation is beyond comprehension.
We're told LAPD is setting
up a 1/4-mile perimeter
around the sinkhole site.
This is unlike anything we've ever seen.

Whoa, slow down.
Stay right there. I'm on my way.

I should've held on. She wouldn't let me.
It's my fault.
Hey, look at me. It's
not your fault, okay?
It's not your fault. Okay.
I got you, I got you.

Where's Izzy? She's not with you?
She ran. She got away so she's okay.
Mom, what the hell's going on?
- I don't know.
- Hey.
What does she know?
Nothing. Riley, this is my mom.
We've been asking everyone.
- What are they saying?
- Same thing.
Fell into the sinkhole, got
scattered, like, randomly.
Followed that smoke to
get here, but that's it.
Same thing for me.
I'm going to take a
stab in the dark here
and say you don't know anything, do you?
[laughing]
What's wrong with that guy?
- Maybe he knows something.
- [chuckling]
Hey, you okay?
Do you know where we are?
Do I know? [snickers]
Hey. [snaps]
Kid's high as a kite.
Oh, you are incredibly perceptive.
And yes, as a matter of
fact, I do have some theories.
Excuse me.
Sorry, have you seen any glasses?
I lost mine. I can't see anything.
No, sorry, man.
That does not bode well for him.
It's okay, sweetheart.
We will find them, okay?
This is my nightmare.
Well, what's going on here?
Look at all these sad faces.
Come on, cheer up, folks.
We're still breathing, aren't we?
We'll figure this out, all right?
[laughs]
Would you please shut up?
Sorry. [clears throat]
Did you did you all
fall through that light
at the bottom of the hole?
Uh, yep.
That's the same light, isn't it?
That's what brought us here?
Yeah, I think so.
So are we alive?
Sure feels that way to me.
People, we need to focus.
It's gonna be dark before we know it.
And right now, we need more water,
we need shelter, and we need food,
all in that order.
I say we gather
supplies, see what's here.
He's right. We should spread word
throughout the clearing
and get everyone to help.
And share everything we find.
100%.
Why don't we each take a section
and stay in groups just to be safe.
Come on, let's go.
Close to me at all times.
Check that car.
Josh, what are you doing?
I'm listening.
It's just quiet.
There's nothing here.
How is that possible?
[sighs]
- Oh, no.
- What is it?
My wedding ring, it's gone.
It must've fallen off in the woods.
- I'll be right back.
- Where are you going?
- Bathroom.
- Stay alert.
- Watch your surroundings, okay?
- I got it.
I know this sounds crazy.
But what if we're in a national park?
We fell into a sinkhole and you think
we're in a national park?
- How high are you?
- No more than usual.
Hey, I'm Scott, by the way.
You know, those things kill
your brain cells, right?
Yeah, and my doctor says
it'll help with my anxiety
so it's a trade-off.
- Mm-hmm.
- Look, the point is,
if we're looking at this logically,
we should be inside the Earth.
But clearly something else is going on.
Clearly.
I mean, come on, none
of this makes any sense.
Like why are all of these cars destroyed
but we're all fine?
You think I know the answer to that?
I don't know.
Maybe we're just in
an episode of "Lost."
[grunts]
- Whoa.
- Yeah.
Dad was a SEAL before he was a surgeon.
He can do everything.
Really makes you question
your life choices.
Hey! Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
[tense music]
Josh?
I saw you, lady.
You don't know what you saw.
- Josh?
- I saw her, Mom.
She had this big box of protein bars.
She tried to hide them over there.
I didn't steal anything.
I don't appreciate being
called a liar either.
I look like a criminal?
- I'm a cop.
- Is there a difference?
Okay, so you do want
me to beat your ass.
Hey, step away from him
right now, you got it?
Got a firecracker there, Josh.
Where are they?
- Here?
- Yeah.
[scoffs, chuckling]
What are you doing?
There's a lot of people
who could use this food.
Save the judgment, all right?
Just trying to survive
here like everyone else.
Well, everyone else isn't stealing.
Give it a minute.
Here you go. The rest is for the group.
- Take care of yourselves.
- [exhales]
At least there's a bright
side to all of this.
No more freaking Twitter.
Am I right or am I right?
Is that heroin?
- That's unexpected.
- Oh, my God.
Calm down, this is fine.
This is just a little
Heroin? Just a little heroin.
Is that what you're trying to say?
Who do you think this belongs to?
Do you want them to know we found it?
Maybe not.
Hey, we never saw this, okay?
Jesus.
Josh, I'm sorry you have to see this.
I'm fine, Mom.
Hey, hey, look at me.
You're allowed to be scared, okay?
[wolf snarling]
Don't move.
Come on. Go!
Run! Run!
- Come on!
- Go, go, go, go.
Get to the car!
Jesus.

Open the door.
Open the door!

Let me see, let me see.
You're okay. Help!
I need help!
I'm a doctor. Let me take a look.

Riley, I need your help.
Let's move him into that bus

That's it, come on.

Over here.
Put him down right here. Easy, easy.
♪
I need to bandage and gauze
to wrap that wound to
get the bleeding to stop.
Maybe I can find a first aid kit.
And sutures and antibiotics if you can.

- I'll be right back, okay?

[helicopter whirring,
people chattering hurriedly]
Good morning. My name
is Dr. Sophia Nathan,
and I'm the chief scientist
at the Department of Homeland Security.
What we know is that today's tragedy
was a natural disaster.
The sinkhole at La Brea
is the largest of its kind.
And as of this moment,
we don't know how deep it goes.
Dr. Nathan, what about the victims?
- Are there any numbers?
- No, not yet.
Are there any plans to
send a rescue mission
to locate any survivors?
Not at this time.
Unfortunately, no one could
have survived that fall.
But what I can tell you is that we have
a long-range military-grade
drone en route,
and we hope to have confirmation soon.
To all the families
affected by this tragedy,
please know that we're thinking
of each and every one of you.
[all speaking at once]
- Iz.
- I need a minute.
Izzy, come here.
Come here. Hey, hey.
I just can't believe they're gone.
[high-pitched ringing]
What is it?
Nothing, it's just a headache.
[high-pitched ringing]
- Mom!
- Josh!
It's not just a headache.
No, it's not.
It's okay, Dad.
What you're seeing, it's not real.
I know.
Only this time it's different.
What are you talking about?
Usually, what I see, it's fields,
trees, wilderness,
always the same place.
But now
What?
It's your mom and Josh.
Look, I can't explain
it, but they're there
in the woods.
- Dad.
- Okay, believe me.
I know how it sounds,
but it's not just them.
Those those birds,
I saw them in that place this morning.
And then
Then they flew out of the sinkhole.
What are you saying?
None of it makes sense to me either,
but my gut is telling me
that something is going on.
I can't let it go.
I need to talk to someone in charge.
And tell them what?
What if there are people
alive down there, Iz?
They can't give up.
Adam, I was wondering when
you were gonna show up.
Got the first flight out of D.C.
How's it going with the press?
Telling them what they need to hear.
But I hate lying to the families.
What are you supposed to say?
The truth?
Everyone, this is senior
agent Adam Markman.
He worked the Mojave incident with me.
We'll be running point
together moving forward.
So where are we at?
Bring up the live feed of the drone.
Right away.
That's the same light
we saw in the Mojave.
We estimate it's at 20,000 feet.
We're approaching that depth now.
Send it through.
Hey, wait. Hey, wait.
Can you get that feed back?
[keyboard clacking]
I've lost the connection.
It's gone.
Where the hell did it go?
You okay?
I've never shot anything before.
You saved that boy's life.
I'm gonna get a fire
going before it gets dark.
I could use a hand.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
Where are you going?
- [winces and groans]
- Hang in there, buddy.
[coughing]
First aid kit.
Hey.
Hey, how you doing?
I'm okay.
Listen, do you remember
when you broke your arm
in the fifth grade?
Remember then it took you, like,
four hours to see a doctor?
- This is worse.
- Yeah, I know.
I know, but you got through it, right?
And do you remember how I told you?
Do you remember how
I told you to do that?
You kept breathing
in and out.
[exhales slowly]
You didn't focus on the pain. You just
You just focused on breathing.
In and out.
That, that's great.
That's great, just
Just keep doing that.
Could I talk to you?
Yeah.
Be right back. You're doing great.
Okay, so the wound's wrapped
but he needs those antibiotics.
Bleeding won't stop without sutures.
And the way he's losing blood,
I don't know how long he has left.
Hey, put it down. We share that.
Scott, watch that food. No
one steals anything, got it?
I'm your man.
There was an ambulance.
I saw it, I saw it.
It fell in the sinkhole
so it has to be around here somewhere.
- I'll just I'll find it.
- It's gonna be dark real soon.
Everything that fell in got scattered.
- Where do you even look?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
All right, you're gonna need more eyes
out there so I'll go with you.
No, you have to stay here with Josh.
There's nothing else I could do for him,
not without those supplies.
I'm not leaving him here alone.
Even if you could find it yourself,
you wouldn't know what to look for.
Do you know what
toothed forceps look like
or a needle driver?
I do.
Riley, she'll look after Josh, right?
Sure.
- Okay, give me a minute. Okay.
- Okay.
Hey. Just keep him hydrated.
If he gets too hot, you cool him down.
He gets too cold, you warm him up.
You're pre-med. It's
nothing you can't handle.
Actually, I'm not.
I-I dropped it.
- What? Since when?
- Since last semester.
Why wouldn't you tell me that?
That's so not the point right now.
What if he dies? What
am I supposed to do then?
I'll be back before that happens.
You don't know that.
You don't know where we are
or who we're with.
[whispers] These people
could be dangerous.
Look at me.
I wouldn't leave you
here if I didn't think
you could handle it.
They need my help.
Okay, then do what you're gonna do then.
Sweetheart, listen to me. Listen to me.
I have to go for just a little while.
Josh, Josh, look at me.
I'm telling you I have to go.
What? No.
There's an ambulance out there, honey.
- I have to find supplies.
- Don't leave me here.
I'll find it as fast
as I can, I promise.
Okay, found a flashlight, food, water.
This is for you.
- Eve, we need to go.
- Okay.
I love you.
[thunder rumbling]
[rain pattering softly]
Wait!
Don't.
[breathing heavily]
Can you give me the gun, please?
Just go.
You don't have to do this.
All I feel is pain.
- I just need it to end.
- It's okay.
Let me help you.
Please, this isn't your problem.
Yes, it is.
It is my problem.
I'm supposed to be out there
looking for an ambulance
for supplies for my son,
but I'm not going to do that
because I can't leave you here.
Hold on.
What is it?
I saw the ambulance.
You did? Where?
It was when I first got here.
It was in the middle of a field.
Can you bring us there?
Maybe, I don't know.
My son is dying.
I don't know where to look.
Please, I need your help.
[soft dramatic music]
- Thank you.
- I said maybe.
Don't thank me yet.

I just need to talk to Dr. Nathan.
Like I said, I can't help you.
Kay, look, I have information

- Yeah.
- Can we please just go home?

No, they still haven't found the bottom.

Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm-I'm fine.
I'll be right back.
Excuse me, Dr. Nathan.
I know you're busy,
but my wife and son
fell into the sinkhole.
I realize how this is gonna sound,
but I think people might
be alive down there.
Sir, we all want to believe that.
But it's not possible.
Excuse us, we have to get going.
You need to move on.
I think I saw your drone down there.
Sir.
It's okay. Give give us a second.
Look, I don't know how to explain it,
but is the tail number 9300NN?
Okay, that drone,
it's in the same place
where everyone else is.
I know this is hard to believe.
I'm not sure I even believe it myself,
but if there's even a
chance that people survived,
you need to send a rescue mission.
- What's your name, sir?
- Gavin Harris.
And how did you come
by this information?
It doesn't matter. I'm just
I'm just asking that you don't give up.
Like I said before,
no one could have survived that fall.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
How the hell could he have known that?
I don't know, but we
need to look into him.
Are these the boxes
Mom brought from home?
Yeah, why? What are you looking for?
I need to prove to Dr.
Nathan that they're alive.
I think there might be a way to do it.
- How?
- I saw Eve down there.
She was next to a boulder.
The boulder had a
handprint carved into it,
and I've seen that boulder before.
We have a picture of it.
Gavin, look at me.
These things you're
seeing, they're not real.
Hey, Jess, I know that's
what we've always thought,
but how do you explain why
I'm seeing Eve and Josh?
I I can't, but you have to stop this.
Aunt Jessica's right, Dad.
Do you have any idea how
many times Josh would say
we couldn't count on you,
but I always defended you
because I knew the only
reason that you drank
was because of how
much pain you were in.
I knew that when it counted,
you'd be there for us.
I know this-this seems crazy,
but I am trying to help.
I'm just trying to figure
out what's going on.
They're gone, Dad.

children down far too often.
That's what I think.
- How's that?

Come on, you can tell me.
You sound like a shrink.
- I am.
- Oh.
My ex-wife would say I'm
always analyzing people.
It's not my most endearing quality.
So tell me what happened.
About a year and a half ago,
I was running late at work
and then I had a neighbor
pick up my daughter from school

When I saw your mom,
she was next to this boulder.
There was a Wilshire Boulevard sign
on the ground behind her,
and I thought if I dug it up,
it'd be proof what I saw was real.
But there's nothing.
Gavin, it's time to come home.
Hold on.
What is it?
This morning, was your mom
wearing her ring around her neck?
- Why?
- Izzy, please.
Was she wearing her ring or not?
Yes, she was.
Why?
Oh, my God.
- How is that possible?
- I don't know.
I can't explain why
but everything that's happened to me,
it's been leading up to this.
Your mom and Josh are alive,

Riley, look what I got.
It's for him.
Uh, beautiful night.
But, man, weather changes
fast around here, right?
[sighs]
Anything else?
Okay, listen, look, I froze.
I completely freaked out.
I mean, those wolves,
right? That was insane.
Anyone would have reacted the same way.
I'm only human.
But also, you could have died
and it would've been my fault.
Yeah, it would've.
Yeah.
Anyway, um, I've got
some juice left on this
and some sweet tunes.
Assuming he doesn't mind
a stranger's ear wax,
some music might help him sleep.
That's the last thing he needs.
We need to keep him awake or he'll die.
Right, yeah, sure. Good point.
Maybe you could rest. I
could watch him if you want.
Do you have any non-stoner music?
I happen to have eclectic tastes.
Hey, Scott.
Thanks.

How are they gonna find us?

Good morning. My name
is Dr. Sophia Nathan,
and I'm the chief scientist

What we know is that today's tragedy
was a natural disaster.
The sinkhole at La Brea
is the largest of its kind.
And as of this moment,
we don't know how deep it goes.
Dr. Nathan, what about the victims?
- Are there any numbers?
- No, not yet.
Are there any plans to
send a rescue mission
to locate any survivors?
Not at this time.
Unfortunately, no one could
have survived that fall.
But what I can tell you is that we have
a long-range military-grade
drone en route,
and we hope to have confirmation soon.
To all the families
affected by this tragedy,
please know that we're thinking
of each and every one of you.

But now

It's your mom and Josh.
Look, I can't explain
it, but they're there

- Okay, believe me.
I know how it sounds,
but it's not just them.
Those those birds,
I saw them in that place this morning.
And then
Then they flew out of the sinkhole.
What are you saying?
None of it makes sense to me either,
but my gut is telling me
that something is going on.
I can't let it go.
I need to talk to someone in charge.
And tell them what?
What if there are people

you were gonna show up.

agent Adam Markman.
He worked the Mojave incident with me.

together moving forward.
So where are we at?

Yeah, it would've.
Yeah.
Anyway, um, I've got
some juice left on this
and some sweet tunes.
Assuming he doesn't mind
a stranger's ear wax,
some music might help him sleep.
That's the last thing he needs.
We need to keep him awake or he'll die.
Right, yeah, sure. Good point.
Maybe you could rest. I
could watch him if you want.
Do you have any non-stoner music?
I happen to have eclectic tastes.
Hey, Scott.
Thanks.
[fire crackling]
Nobody knows where we are.
How are they gonna find us?
It's okay.
[flare blasts]
Help us!
[computer chimes]
Unbelievable.
Sophia, what's going on?
They recovered one of the birds.
It's called a Teratornis Merriami.
This species is extinct.
Where the hell did it come from?
From there.
Look! Here it is!
[panting]
It's got everything. Give me a sec.
Oh, thank God. [exhaling]
Your son's gonna be okay.
Eve?
What's going on?
Those are the Hollywood Hills,
and so are those.

I think we're still in Los Angeles.
How is that possible?
[bushes rustling]
[low snarling]
Don't move.
[growls]
Run.
- [snarling]
- Keep moving!
[soft dramatic music]
We all have people we
want to get back to.
But we're not gonna give up.
We're gonna get out of here.
[animals snarling]
Right now we need to stick together.
Nobody goes anywhere alone
until we figure out what's going on.
[music intensifies]
Who put him there?
I have no idea.

My wife and son are down there.
- How do you know that?
- Because I can see that place.
We're going down there are,
and you're going to help us do it.

then what the hell is it doing here?

Right now, the people still have hope.
You take that away,
it's a dangerous thing.

This might be our only chance

And what if none of you come back?
