La Brea (2021) s02e01 Episode Script

1
Run.
Josh!
Mom!
This place doesn't seem real, does it?
Mom!
When we fell through that sinkhole,
we ended up some time around 10,000 B.C.
We all have people we
want to get back to.
We're not gonna give up.
We're gonna find a way home.
I have these flashes.
Your Mom and Josh are in the past.
How is that possible?
We're going down there, Gavin,
and you're gonna help us do it.
Aldridge jumped!
We need to stick together.
There's safety in numbers.
I can't leave you here.
Mom, no.
- Levi?
- Eve.
Gavin knows about us. He
asked me if I loved you.
I didn't have to say anything.
That's a hunting trap.
Somebody made that. We're not alone.
My grandfather told me about you.
The boy is not who you think he is.
Isiah is Gavin and he needs your help.
There is a portal and it leads to 1988.
You have to get him through it.
- I can't let you do this.
- Silas!
Josh?
There's somewhere I need to go.
That's impossible.
There's more you need to see.
This might be our only chance
to get Mom and Josh back.
There's gonna be a sinkhole in Seattle.
I think we made it.
Let's go find Mom and Josh.
Smile.
A beautiful day, isn't it?
I'd like it better if it wasn't so hot.
I'm burning up.
Can I go for a walk with Doc?
Yes, but don't go too far.
Come on, Doc.
Come on, Doc.
What's going on, Doc?
Doc!
Doc.
- Carly.
- Carly.
Carly, move!
Carly, no!
Carly, Carly.
- Carly!
- Oh, baby! Are you hurt?
- You okay?
- I'm fine. Where's Doc?
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
- Morning.
- Hey.
- Any progress last night?
- No.
- Silas still isn't talking.
- He will.
It's been 24 hours.
If he was gonna talk,
he would've talked.
Well, he has to.
Aldridge said Silas, he
helped create these sinkholes.
If anyone knows how to get
Josh and Riley back from 1988,
- it's him.
- Yeah.
Well, Marybeth and
Lucas, any word on them?
No.
No one's been able to find them.
With Marybeth's injuries,
I'm getting really concerned.
Yeah, and then there's
Aldridge and there's Scott,
and Veronica they're all missing.
So it's just at least when
Josh was here, I had somebody.
Now I'm all alone.
You're not alone, Eve.
I happen to be excellent company.
Yes. Yes, you are.
Look, you have faced so
much adversity before.
Everything you went through with Gavin,
Izzy's accident, you got through that.
We will get through this.
Yeah.
You don't look so good, Silas.
Let me guess.
Your joints are starting to
hurt, you can't think straight.
Probably have a headache too.
That's what happens when you
don't drink water for 24 hours.
Why was it so important
to keep Isiah here?
You don't want to tell us
what's really going on. Fine.
But you will tell me how
to get my daughter back.
Take a sip.
And then you're going to start talking.
Sam, hey!
I'm not thirsty.
We have to find another tactic,
'cause that one's not working.
He'll break.
At some point, we have to be humane.
He's our only hope of
getting Josh and Riley back.
We cannot let him die.
What's going on, Sam?
I'm fine, Levi.
Look, I don't pretend to know
what you're going through.
I just don't want you doing
something you're gonna regret.
The only thing I'll regret is if I don't
do everything in my
power to bring Riley back.
I'm not saying we give up,
but she's a hell of a
lot safer back in 1988.
I still plan on finding a
way home to where we belong,
and I'm not doing that
without my daughter.
Hey, what's going on?
Silas is stubborn, but
eventually, he'll talk.
I'm just afraid we're gonna
run out of time before he does.
Paara convinced her people
to allow us to question Silas,
but they're expecting him back.
They're gonna be here this afternoon.
They're just gonna have to wait.
I don't know how
patient they're gonna be.
Look, Silas lied about his identity.
People are dead because of his actions.
They want to hold him accountable.
That's not my problem.
Actually, it's all our problem.
Paara's people are supposed
to bring us food today.
I don't think we want to make enemies
of the people who are trying to help.
We need to survive here
on a long-term basis, Sam.
The best way to do that
is with help from Paara and her village.
Then you talk to her, Ty.
Tell her we need an extension.
She's a good person.
She'll listen to you.
- I can try.
- Do whatever you want.
Silas isn't going
anywhere until he talks.
Sam.
We're gonna get Silas to talk.
I don't care what we have to do, Levi.
I just want my family back.
- I really hate this place.
- I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have brought you here.
You didn't. It was my choice to jump.
I want to get to Mom and
Josh just as much as you.
I know you do.
Look, the deal was when
we landed in Seattle,
we said we'd walk 20 miles a day.
Okay, we're never gonna
get to LA at this rate.
Have you had a vision
of them? Mom and Josh?
No. We've been here a while
and I haven't had one the whole time.
Why not?
I think the visions were memories
from my childhood when I was Isiah.
Once I went through
the light they stopped,
'cause I'm not a kid down here anymore.
- What about you, Ella?
- Same.
Everything I saw was from I was Lilly.
The last vision was right
before we came down here.
My sister, Veronica, was in trouble.
Now, I can't even see her anymore.
I have no idea if she's okay.
What's that?
- I need a break.
- We just took a break.
Maybe we'd have a
better chance to make it
if we'd been prepared.
We don't have food, supplies.
We don't even have a compass.
Yeah, well, no one asked you to come.
Hey, easy. Okay? I know we're on edge.
We're not gonna make it
unless we work together, okay?
We're not gonna make
it if we starve either.
Yeah, good point.
Okay, wait here.
Where are you going?
I'm gonna get us some lunch.
Okay.
Easy.
I'm just we're all friends.
Easy.
Okay.
- You okay?
- I think so.
Where are Lilly and Isiah?
I have no idea.
Are we in 1988?
I mean, we went into that light,
so I guess we should be.
I load 16 tons, what do I get? ♪
It's more like the '50s to me.
Get out of my dreams, baby ♪
Get into my car ♪
This is definitely 1988.
There they are. We have to stop them.
No, wait. Riley, stop!
Wait, they're gonna be okay.
- How do you know that?
- Because I'm okay.
Isiah gets adopted.
He's gonna grow up and meet my mom
and they're gonna have me and Izzy.
We can't get in the way.
Okay, and what about Lilly?
She said she had to find Isiah,
so this must be her path too.
What about us?
How am I gonna get back to my dad?
How are you gonna get back to your mom?
The La Brea sinkhole's not gonna open
for another 30 years.
Josh, I think we're stuck here.
Look who's finally
awake. How you feeling?
Much better this morning, actually.
Oh, yeah?
Because for someone who
was just stabbed recently,
I'd say you're doing very well.
I suppose I'm a quick healer.
Why did Silas stab you?
I told you.
He didn't want me to take
Isiah through the light.
It is like you are allergic
to telling the truth.
We've been here for 24 hours,
camped outside a futuristic
building that you built.
You've been promising me answers,
but all I've got are more questions.
Well, you should be happy
because I finally have
the strength I'll need to
make it to the building.
Great. Fantastic. Let's go.
Scott, hang on.
There are some things I
need to tell you first.
Yeah, I bet.
The people in that
building want me dead.
If I step inside, they'll kill me.
And by extension, you.
You should've told me that before.
Then you wouldn't have
stuck around for so long.
Yeah, you're damn right.
Scott, if we don't make
it into that building soon,
very bad things are gonna happen.
Everyone you care
about where you're from,
all of your friends down
here in the clearing,
they will die unless I
get inside that building.
Prove it.
Isn't the fact that
I've shown you a building
in 10,000 B.C. proof enough?
- That's a fair point.
- If you want to save
the people you love then you'll help me.
You know, I really dislike
you sometimes, Aldridge.
But, yeah. I'm in.
On your feet.
Move.
I'm giving you one last chance.
Sam, put the gun down!
Tell me how to bring my daughter back.
- This isn't who you are.
- Sam.
Truth is I can't bring
your daughter back.
But there's someone who can.
- Rebecca Aldridge.
- Aldridge is missing.
I can help you find her.
There's a place in the woods.
Day's journey due north.
What kind of place? We need details.
Building made of glass and steel.
It's 30 stories high. You won't miss it.
I have to warn you,
there are dangers there you
will not be prepared for.
A building of glass and
steel in 10,000 B.C.?
- You're serious?
- Turn around.
I am.
Your only chance to save your
children is to find Rebecca.
That glass building
is where she's headed.
- Okay, that was a lot.
- Yeah.
What are we thinking?
I'm gonna go find
Aldridge and that building.
I'm going with you.
You can't be serious. Silas we lying.
You don't know that.
You just pulled a gun on a
man and threatened to kill him.
You think that's how you
get people to tell the truth?
All I know is we have a lead now.
We need to check it out.
Has it occurred to anyone
that this is Silas' plan of escape?
Get us all on some fool's
errand while he buggers off?
Then we we keep him locked up.
I'll stay with him.
Levi, you two go verify what he said.
I'll make sure he doesn't leave
the truck until you get back.
Good luck and hurry back.
We shouldn't leave Sam alone with Silas.
He's not okay.
I'll watch him. Be safe out there, okay?
Thank you.
Ready?
Okay.
Eat as much as you can.
We should get moving soon.
Mm. I'm gonna go get some water.
I'll be right back.
Listen, I'm sorry about before.
I shouldn't have snapped at you guys.
Don't worry about it.
You got a lot on your mind.
I made a huge mistake coming down here.
Why did you come down here?
When I as a little girl,
I was kidnapped.
So was Veronica.
And the only reason I got through it
was because of Veronica.
Well, sounds like you
were lucky to have her.
She looked out for me,
protected me.
We're not related,
but she basically became my sister.
So when I saw that
vision of her in danger,
I wanted to get down here to help,
but now, I can't see her.
Look, I don't know how
I'm going to find her.
For all I know, she's dead
and coming here was a waste.
Oh, God, I'm I'm so scared.
And I don't know if I'm strong
enough to make it down here.
Okay.
Remember
Remember when I met
you when we were kids?
When you were called Lilly?
And I came in at the clearing
and I hurt my wrist and
you help bandage me up?
You were so sure of yourself.
You were so brave.
Deep down, that's who you are.
You just need to remember that.
That's nice of you to say
but I'm not that kid anymore.
Oh, God.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We're ready to go. Everything all right?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
- Okay.
All right, let's go.
Sam.
- Some water?
- Thanks.
It's funny.
We've only known each
other a short time,
but feels like we've
been friends for years.
You want to tell me what's going on?
- If this is about the gun
- Someone could've gotten hurt.
Ty, I was a Navy SEAL for years.
I know what I'm doing.
And I spent years as a psychiatrist.
- I know what I'm doing
- Okay.
And I can see it in your eyes.
There's something deeper going on.
To be honest, I noticed it
before Riley disappeared.
Talk to me.
I appreciate your concern, Ty, I do.
But like I said, I'm good.
It's Paara.
Everyone, they're here.
Paara and her people
have brought us food.
- It is so good to see you.
- Hello, Ty.
Thank you so much for all of this.
All of you, thank you.
We can't thank you enough.
Thank you so much.
How are you feeling?
Well, there are good days and bad.
Now, today is a great one.
I wish I could stay longer,
but my people are anxious
for us to return with Silas.
Something wrong?
We still need Silas.
Sam is determined to keep him
until he gets his daughter back.
We just need a little more time.
Silas gave us a clue about
where Aldridge might be.
Eve and Levi went to find her.
If they do, Sam will give Silas back
and everyone will be satisfied.
And if they don't?
I will deliver Silas to you myself.
Please. Trust me.
You know that I do.
Thank you.
You know, we don't have to
walk in silence the whole way.
Sorry. I'm just thinking.
You're worried about Josh. I am too.
But he's not alone.
And neither are you.
You still have me.
Hey, I left you once before.
I won't ever do that again.
Lucas.
Eve. Levi.
She didn't make it.
You know, whatever you're looking for,
it wasn't back there the
last time you checked.
- What's going on?
- Nothing.
I'm just keeping an eye out.
Gavin, you're hiding something.
You don't know me very well,
but I'm pretty observant.
Okay, hey. When I was
hunting that pig earlier,
I came across something.
I didn't want to say it, I
think it's a woolly rhino.
- A what?
- A woolly rhino?
You think that rhino's following us.
Yes. We're being hunted.
Come on.
Mom got stabbed.
We tried to get to the light,
but she just lost too much blood.
I mean, I tried to get her there, but
Hey, it's all right. It's okay.
You've been here since then?
I had to dig a hole deep enough
so the animals wouldn't get to her.
I just wanted to stay near her.
Please let me go!
Keep moving!
Come on.
Where are you taking me?
- Come on!
- Stop!
No!
Jesus, that's Veronica.
Who the hell are these people?
Look at those machetes.
I don't think they had
steel in 10,000 B.C.
Please let me go!
- We can't leave her with them.
- I agree.
But we don't want to lose our
chance at getting Aldridge.
We better get Veronica fast.
I know we're starving and lost in time,
but there are a few bright sides.
- I'm listening.
- No saber tooths.
No wolves that might kill us.
No Fort People chasing
us around all the time.
I mean, eventually, we
might even find a McDonald's.
Ooh, a burger does sound
really good actually.
Right?
- Check it out.
- A house.
- They might be able to help us.
- Yeah.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Is anyone home?
You know what my
parents used to tell me?
Back in the day, no one
used to lock their doors.
I guess they were wrong.
Wow. People were way too trusting.
Oh, my God. Food.
- Cold pizza.
- Oh.
Mm.
Let's be quick. Grab as much as we can.
Get out of here before they come back.
This is amazing.
Hi. It's Isley and Kieran.
We're in Catalina for the week,
so leave a message and we'll
call you when we get back.
Bye.
You thinking what I'm thinking?
That's a huge answering machine?
No, did you hear what they said?
They won't be back for a week.
We don't have to go anywhere.
Oh, my God.
Come on. Keep moving.
Where are you taking me?
I haven't done anything.
- Stop dragging.
- Please.
Please just let me go. I can't
I can't
We have to do something.
I know, but we're outnumbered.
It's too risky.
Get up!
- That's it.
- Lucas, what are you doing?
What's it look like?
No.
Come on. We're running late.
Chris.
Get over there.
Go down.
One of us should go back to
the clearing and ask for help.
The other two can stay here
and keep eyes on Veronica.
You want to stay here, be my guest,
but I'm not losing anyone else.
Lucas!
Line 'em up over there. Get 'em ready.
All right, come on. You two up.
Excuse me.
Can I have some water, please?
- Shut up.
- Please. I'm really thirsty.
Hey!
- Are you okay to walk?
- I think so.
- Okay, get to the woods.
- Come on.
I'll get the key.
Hey!
Got it.
- After them!
- Veronica.
- I got the key.
- Oh, thank you.
Go, find them!
Where are they?
This way.
I need to stop.
Oh, no.
Go, go, go. I got him.
Hey, hey. You can do this. Come on.
Okay.
- Eve, what are you doing?
- I'm not leaving you.
I promise you, I'll catch up.
- Go.
- Be careful.
Go back to where you came
from and nobody gets hurt.
Hey.
Well, Mr. Ginsburg, I
guess it's just you and me.
What do you want to do? Sing?
- Play charades?
- Oh, God.
This is literally the
best thing I've ever seen.
I mean, why aren't there
more shows like this?
Why aren't there more
shows about talking puppets
that are supposed to be aliens?
- Yeah, I don't know.
- I mean, come on.
The puppet has its own
puppet. It's genius.
Genius? You think that's genius?
I mean, all things considered,
it sure as hell beats
sitting in the clearing
eating mushrooms.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Really?
At least there, we had our family.
We had hope that we might
one day make it home.
Hey, we'll figure it out.
And I I don't want to pretend like
everything's gonna be okay
because we don't know that.
You're right. Things
aren't exactly perfect.
But
I don't know.
There's a million reasons
to be freaking out right now.
And for some reason, being
here with you, I'm not.
- Josh.
- What?
Are you gonna pretend like
you don't care about me too?
I don't know how I'm feeling.
We were thrown into
the craziest situation.
That doesn't make us a couple.
And it doesn't make me any less scared.
Okay, so what do you want to do?
Maybe we should just get out of here
and then figure it out.
Great. Yeah.
I'll go see if I can find some cash.
It's still out there.
We just have to keep moving, okay?
Just stay ahead of it.
Shh.
Shh.
Get behind me, get behind me.
It's so cute.
Iz.
Shh. It's okay.
It's all right.
It's okay. Shh.
I think it wants to be friends.
It's amazing.
Let's go.
Oh, no.
We should hide.
We're too exposed. There's nowhere to go.
And that rhino's coming for us.
So what do we do?
We have to cross that field.
If we cross the field, they'll see us.
Then we're sitting ducks.
Actually, I don't think they can see us.
So woolly rhinos are practically blind.
They use sound to guide them.
I can draw their attention away from us,
buy us enough time to
get across the field.
Go.
My leg!
Shh, shh.
Dad!
We need to move.
It's my leg. I can't run.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Get down!
Stay down.
See?
- Let's go.
- Let's get out of here!
- Come on!
- I'm trying.
Are you stealing money
from some kid's piggy bank?
It's not like they take Venmo here.
Besides, I'm leaving behind
a pretty good present.
- Buy Apple stock. Nice.
- Right?
All right, I think we're gonna
get, like, 100 bucks out of this.
It doesn't sound like
much, but it's 1988.
I'm pretty sure
everything's cheaper here.
All right. Want to get out of here?
Hang on a second, Josh.
It's cool. No need for a talk.
I'm sorry, okay?
It's just this whole thing feels like
this really bad nightmare
that I can't wake up from.
And I'm afraid that when I do,
the newspapers are still gonna say 1988.
- Oh, you got to be kidding me.
- What?
I don't understand.
A sinkhole never opened up
at the Hollywood sign in 1988.
No, it didn't.
So why is now?
I don't know,
but if this sinkhole's anything
like the one in La Brea,
we may have found our
back to 10,000 B.C.
- Where the hell are they?
- I don't know.
We should go back and find them.
No. No, we stay right here.
They'll find us.
What happened?
I took care of him. We're good.
Where's Eve?
What do you mean, "Where's Eve?"
She was with you.
- Pull!
- Hyah!
We're here.
What do you mean?
But the building's
all the way over there.
Allow me.
I did not see that coming.
This is our way into the building.
In Dagobah, Luke went into a cave
and came face-to-face with Vader.
It was super terrifying.
Is this gonna be like that?
Probably.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
We're nearly there.
Thank God! Are you guys okay?
- Ty, help!
- Give 'em a hand!
- What happened?
- Grab her leg.
- It's fine. We're fine.
- Be careful, be careful.
- We're fine.
- Easy, easy.
Where's Eve and Levi?
- Eve was taken.
- By who?
I I don't know. I
don't know who they were.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
What about Levi?
Whoa.
Halt!
Hold up!
Get in there!
Levi.
Hey. You all right?
I thought you got away.
I did.
I came back, gave myself up.
Why?
Told you I wasn't leaving you.
This should help for the moment.
- How does that feel?
- Better.
Yeah. Do you think you
can walk on your own?
Yeah.
Dad.
Is that the Hollywood sign?
No, it can't be.
No, no, no. It's not possible.
We jumped through a sinkhole in Seattle.
It's nowhere near Los Angeles.
Oh, my God.
I've seen that building back home.
I can't believe it.
That sinkhole brought us to LA.
Come on.
