La Brea (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Topanga - full transcript

.

Isiah is Gavin.
And he needs your help.

There was a portal on top
of a mountain in Topanga.

And it leads to 1988.

If Isiah doesn't make it,
your children will die.

There's something very
important I need you to do.

I need you to take me
to Topanga.

We have to leave now.

I saw this rock
in that world.

And someone called me
by a different name.

What was it?
Lilly.



They're sinkhole locations.
Look at this.

And according to this map,

the one in Seattle is
gonna open tomorrow.

The ravine ends four miles
east of here.

Bring Isiah there
or I'll kill 'em both.

Eve, wait.
You shouldn't go alone.

I don't have a choice.
I have to save my son.

♪

What are we gonna do?
We're gonna be fine.

Just stay calm.

Calm?
Are you kidding?

Josh,
just take a breath, okay?

♪

I know you're angry with me.



But we can't focus
on that right now.

Josh, I never meant
to hurt you.

Or your dad.

I really am sorry.

Silas, look!

♪

Mom!

♪

Where's Isiah?

He's somewhere safe.

I told you what would happen
if you didn't bring him to me.

If I don't get Isiah
through the light,

my children will die.

I know.

But I won't sacrifice
my family to save yours.

Isiah is all I have.

This isn't just
about my family.

Isiah is Gavin.
Josh is your great grandson.

Doesn't change anything.

This is about more than
just Isiah, isn't it?

You're not from that village.
You know Aldridge.

So who are you?
Who are you really?

♪

Tie her up.
Grab her.

No, wait.
Wait, no!

♪

Find Isiah.

♪

You guys all right?
We're fine.

How are we gonna
get out of here?

Don't worry.
I got a plan.

♪

You wanted to be caught.

♪

The light in Topanga closes
in 12 hours.

Whoever's going needs
to leave now.

Just so we're
super clear here,

whoever wants to go,
just has to walk through it,

and boom, you're in 1988?

Simple as that.

How are we supposed
to find it?

I don't see a light in the sky.

It's because it's not
in the sky.

You can't see it
from the ground.

Head northwest ten miles.

The light will be at
the highest peak in that area.

How the hell do you
know any of this?

♪

Because I'm responsible
for these sinkholes opening.

♪

Hold on.

You're saying you're the reason
we're all stuck down here?

We never meant
for this to happen.

We?
Who are the others?

One of the people
involved is Silas,

Isiah's grandfather.

We're scientists by trade.

We both made some mistakes

that we're trying to correct
in our own ways.

The portal at Topanga
is a way out.

I owe you that at least.

You're telling the truth.

♪

I'm going.

Then so am I.

Look, I'm happy to bring
a group to the mountain.

But Riley and I
are staying here.

Sure about that?
Yeah.

We're not giving up
on going home.

Neither are we.

Sam!

Ty.
Hey.

What's going on?

Josh and Levi were taken
by Silas

and three men from the village.

What?

If any of you can help,
we need to go now.

Why would they take them?

And who are you?
This is Paara.

She's a friend
from the village.

Look, we'll explain
everything on the way.

But Eve needs our help.

All right, let's go.
I'll be right back.

Hey, now would be a good time
to give me back my gun.

You got it.

You coming?

Uh...

Someone should stay,
look after Aldridge.

Scott, can you do that?

Yeah, of course.

♪

Where did you get that?

I brought this with me
for a much different reason.

I don't intend to use it unless
it's absolutely necessary.

Listen, we can help Eve
and get to the mountain.

But we need to leave now.
Who's coming with us?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Let's go.

♪

Hurry up, Veronica.

We've been walking for hours.
I need a break.

We can't stop.

Rebecca said I have
to get the map to Isiah.

Why is this
so important to you?

I promised Rebecca I'd do it.

A promise to a person
you just met?

What's really going on, Lilly?

Rebecca told me,
if I did this,

she'd help me find a way
back to my family.

So you were just gonna
leave me behind?

I just thought that,
when we got to Topanga,

you and I could go to 1988.

We could start over together.

I'm not going to 1988.

What Aaron did to us

was awful.

And I know you want
to put it behind you.

♪

But it brought us together.

You're all I have now, Lilly.

♪

I miss my family, Veronica,
my real family.

♪

Please,
you have to understand.

♪

Ahh!
Veronica!

What is this?
Get it off!

Get it off.

Hang on.

Get it off!

It's okay.

I'm gonna get you out of this.

♪

Isiah, come with me.

Get off me!
Get off!

♪

It's okay.
I'm here to help.

♪

Isiah.

Are you okay?
I'm fine.

Okay.
Hey, where's Eve?

She said she
couldn't wait anymore.

♪

Down, down.

♪

We take them by surprise.

Ty, Paara, you're with me.

What about the rest of us?
Get Isiah to Topanga.

Just head northwest.

We can't just leave.

Riley, I know you want
to help Josh.

This is how you do it, okay?

Stay low.

♪

I'm scared, Paara.
You have to be strong.

We'll catch up with you
as soon as we can.

Yeah, keep your head down.
Keep your head down.

Go, go, go, go, go.

♪

Almost there, keep going.

Come on.

♪

♪

Come on.

Here.

♪

Stop!

♪

Silas!
He's getting away!

Stop!

Josh, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, what's going on?
What's going on--talk to me.

It's this weird pain shooting
through my whole body.

I've never felt
anything like it.

Eve, what's going on?

Aldridge said,
once the light begins to close,

Josh and Izzy will start
to feel sick.

It's happening.

♪

There's gonna be
a sinkhole in Seattle.

So what's the plan?
We've got to get there.

There's still a chance
we can save Mom and Josh.

I'll book us
on the next flight.

I'm coming with you.

Are you sure?

There may be more
that I remember,

something that can help you.

Besides, something tells me
I need to see this through.

Okay.

Does the map say where

in Seattle the sinkhole
is going to open?

Yeah. There, near the mouth
of the Duwamish River.

The Duwamish River?
What's wrong?

Well, that's in the center
of downtown.

Everyone there is in danger.

It's not just downtown,
Gavin.

The entire city could be
in danger.

We don't know
how accurate this map is.

The sinkhole could open
anywhere in the area.

We need to warn everyone,
get them to evacuate the city.

Our proof is a map
from 10,000 BC.

No one's gonna believe us.

There's one person who might.

♪

You sure you think
this is a good idea?

We don't have another option.

♪

Dad.
Iz?

Iz, are you okay?

What's wrong?
I don't know.

I don't know.

♪

We lost Silas.
How you doing?

We have to get Isiah
through the light.

He's safe--I sent him ahead
with Marybeth to the mountain.

No, he's not safe,
not with Silas still out there.

He's gonna go to the mountain.
He's gonna try and stop Isiah.

And he has a head
start on us.

There's another way,

a shortcut
through a network of caves.

They'll bring you
to the summit.

Where is it?

The entrance is near the
eastern base of the mountain,

in the middle of a field
by a fallen tree.

But there are dangers there.

Many years ago, there was
a village near the caves.

They were protective
of their territory.

The area is still filled
with traps.

Well, we'll take our chances.
Yeah.

Catch up with Isiah,

and we'll take him
to the caves.

What about Silas?

Does he know
about the shortcut?

Yes, but it's too dangerous
to go alone.

He'll take the longer route
up the side of the mountain.

I'll go after him.

I'm coming with you.

You good?

Yeah, it's painful.
But I can walk.

All right, we better move.

♪

Sam told me,

"Stay here.
Look after Aldridge."

And I didn't even object.
My bud Josh is in trouble.

And I did nothing.

After everything
I've been through, deep down,

I'm still
the same scared coward,

a freakin' coward.

Oh, sorry.

No, I'm not yelling at you.
I'm just mad at myself.

Excuse me.

Uh...

I thought
you were resting.

There's somewhere I need
to go a few miles from here.

I was hoping
you'd help me get there.

Uh-huh.

I suppose you're not gonna
tell me what this is about.

What you said about being
responsible for the sinkholes,

that's just the tip
of the iceberg, isn't it?

Please, it's very important.

♪

You know, I watch
a lot of sci-fi.

And there's always
a character like you.

Is that right?
Yeah.

Someone who knows
more than they let on,

doesn't tell anyone anything.

Usually, they're the bad guy.

You think I'm the bad guy?

I don't know what to think
about anything here.

There are so many
strange things.

Like, why does this cow
have a serial number?

It's lunacy.

Then I'll make you a deal.

You get me to where
I need to go,

and I will give you all
the answers you're looking for.

Or you can do nothing,

and things can stay
exactly as they are.

♪

When do we leave?

♪

Where are they?

They should have caught up
to us by now.

Relax, they'll be fine.
What if they're not?

We should go back.
They might need our help.

We need to keep moving.

Hand over the boy.

Take Isiah, run.

Come on, come on, come on.
Let's go.

Your move, pal.

♪

Ahh!

♪

Ah!

You guys all right?

Yeah, I think so.

♪

Marybeth.

♪

How you feeling?
Not great.

So Josh is going through
the same thing right now?

Yeah, I think so.
Iz, listen.

Please don't say
it's gonna be okay, Dad.

You don't know that.

♪

Markman, thanks
for meeting us.

There's gonna be
another sinkhole,

this time in Seattle.

We need you
to evacuate the city.

♪

Where'd you get this?
From that place down there.

So you're asking me
to evacuate a city

based on a map from 10,000 BC?

Are you serious?
It's not just that.

The seismic readings in Seattle
are the exact same

as before
the La Brea sinkhole opened.

The city sits
on a fault line.

It could be nothing.

It's concentrated downtown,
Adam, just like the map says.

We need to clear the area.

This is going to happen
in the next few hours.

Do you realize the resources
and manpower required

to pull something
like this off?

I make that call and we're
wrong, my career is over.

We're just trying
to prevent another disaster.

If we're right, and you
do nothing, people will die.

We can stop
that from happening.

But only if you help us.

♪

Lilly, that's not gonna work.

I can do this.

No, you can't.

Lilly.

Stop!

Maybe
I can find a bigger rock.

over there?

a long ways to go.

It's painful.
I'm sorry.

in 1988 help you?

go back to your world.
