La Brea (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Episode #2.11 - full transcript

I found a new purpose down here.

I think we should get married.

We kissed.

You're the only person down
here who understands me.

The exiles are back.

They were looking for this.

This must be Moore's
journal, his complete work.

It's our way home.

I don't know if it was James
or Kira who sent the exiles,

but I want us to figure
this out together.

I do too.



So why are you back?

I told Gavin that I had a
plan to bring everyone home.

But the truth is, I don't.

I'm here to kill James.

Where are you going?

I have to get back to Gavin.

But we just started.

You brought me
Dr. Moore's notes,

so we could complete
his work and get

Gavin and his family home.

We're not making
any progress, Dad.

So we'll keep at it.

Gavin doesn't even
know I have them.

If I don't get back, you know
where he'll turn for help.



You're worried about James.

All those years ago, I... I
swore I'd protect your son

and keep him away
from your husband.

I failed.

I'm sorry.

You did what you could.

Still, give me the papers.

I'll keep working
on Moore's notes.

You go.

Protect your son.

There's the man of the hour.

Got to tell you, Riley is very
excited about your wedding.

Look, this is her idea.

You look very dapper, my friend.

I'm glad everyone's
looking forward to it.

Uh, how are you doing?

I'm good.

I'm good, just...

Busy.

Sounds like me at my wedding.

I got to tell you, I had
my doubts on my big day.

Listen.

Marriage is never perfect.

But from what I can tell,
you're built to handle

whatever comes your way.

The gift exchange is
the most important part

of a Tonga wedding.

You need to share
some of your wine.

What wine?

Who says I have wine?

Oh, my god.

Are you kidding, Judah?

Look, your lips are stained red,

and you smell like
Two-Buck Chuck. OK?

Cough up the stash.
- OK, fine, fine, fine.

You can have two
bottles from Argentina,

but nothing from France.
- What?

No need to argue.

There will be plenty to drink.

I've heard the fermented
corn is quite good.

Gross. You can have that.

No, you can have it.

No, man, I'm gonna be
drinking your wine.

Hey.

I think this would look
pretty great on you.

Yeah.

It's cute for a dress that was
pulled off a wardrobe truck

and fell through a sinkhole.

- I'm gonna try it on.
- OK.

So nice to see her
smile like that.

I know.

Maybe a wedding is what
everybody needs right now.

Right?

Actually, there's something
I need to ask you.

I'd like you to
be my best woman.

You've seen me at my very
worst and at my best.

I know we haven't known each
other long, but you're family.

Ty.

Oh, I would be
honored. I would.

What else?

Eve, I went to the building,

and I learned something I need
to share with you and Gavin...

Alone.

Project Blue Moon...
What does that even mean?

James named the
project after a drawing

that Gavin made
when he was a child.

So he wants to go back
to when I was a kid?

I think so.

If he wants to change his past,

it will also change all of ours.

Gavin will be raised by James.

You and Eve will never meet.

Josh and Izzy...

They'll never be born.

And I'll never
come to 10,000 BC.

I'll never find the second
chance I found here.

We can't let this happen.

How do we know this
is even real, OK?

Ty heard this from Kira,

the woman who sent the
exiles to attack us.

How can we believe
anything she says?

It wasn't just Kira.

In my session with James, I
saw his desire to go back.

And you saw that he was
willing to sacrifice

his own grandchildren?

I don't know.

But I may have a
way of finding out.

I invited James to the wedding.

Gavin, we can talk to him,

find out the truth
about Blue Moon.

Could work.

Can you give us a second?

I do not like this.

My father is the only one
who can save your life.

He can use that channel
to fix the machine

and send you and everyone home.

But I'm not willing
to sacrifice the lives

of our children.

Which is why I won't
give him the journal

unless I'm sure about him.

I meant what I said yesterday.

OK?

From now on, we make
choices together.

I won't do anything
unless you agree.

I trust you.

Ty just told me about Blue Moon.

We have to stop James.

I told Gavin I would
give him a chance.

I have to trust him, Levi.

I can't risk throwing
everything away.

Gavin isn't seeing
clearly right now,

because James is his father.

He's gonna be protected
at the wedding.

I don't know if I'm gonna
be able to get close to him.

But you're family.

You can.

Are you hearing what
you're asking me to do?

What I'm asking you
to do is make sure

that Josh and Izzy stay safe.

Now, the only way to do
that is to kill James.

There's no other way?

You know me.

I wouldn't be doing
this if there was.

As long as he is
alive, he is a threat.

Please, Eve. I can't
do this without you.

I can't figure out how
Aaron had this journal.

He has some connection
to this place,

but I don't know what it is.

So the guy has that book
on him the whole time

you're with him,
and he never says

anything about how he got it?

Never.

But look, he added something
to it on the last page.

Here. That's
Aaron's handwriting.

What are those, Bible verses?

Same ones he made us memorize.

And look how he wrote them.

Some are horizontal.

Some are vertical.

It's like some puzzle,
but I can't solve it.

Hey, don't beat
yourself up about it.

I mean, maybe the Bible
verses don't mean anything.

But it does.

I can feel it.

Aaron always said
that these verses

served a higher purpose.

I just thought he meant
getting into heaven.

But now I think that
he must have been

talking about something else.

You know, I hate the fact
you still got to think

about this creep.

He took away so much of my life.

I just want all the
things that I went through

to be for some purpose.

Hey, whatever it takes,
we're gonna figure it out.

I'm here for you.

OK.

Hey, lovebirds, you
guys coming or what?

Thank you for coming.

Today is the chance
to celebrate.

Here in this fort, we are
people of mixed cultures.

With our union here
today, we look forward

to welcoming even more.

Please enjoy the bounty.

- Great.
- Oh, thank you.

Everything OK?

You know, it's funny.

Just a short time ago, I
was a man with no future.

Now I've got one,
and I'm terrified

of someone taking it away.

We can't control
tomorrow, only today.

But today is good.

There's no DJ, no photo booth.

But I heard there
might be some dancing.

I didn't know you could dance.

Are you kidding me?

Back home I'm...

Kind of a legend.

Never do that again.

But you could talk
me into a slow dance

since you clean up so nice.

Why, thank you.

Uh, guys, I think
I need to leave.

You just got here.

The warriors are
giving me wedding gifts

because I killed Taamet,
like I'm some kind of hero.

Look.

Sweet belt. What's
the problem?

I have been doing everything
that I can to try and forget

the fact that I
stabbed a man to death,

and I really don't
want a trophy for it.

Then there's that
girl behind me.

She won't leave me alone.

I need a mindful moment.

Gavin, how does it
feel to be back home

after all these years?

It's a lot to take in.

I remember a lot of it... the
garden, the smell of the fire.

That's where you used to sleep.

Come.

Let's meet some old friends.
- OK.

You go ahead. I'll catch up.

Levi?

What are you doing?

This is the Datura flower.

It's a slow-acting poison.

All you have to do
is remove its seeds

and put it in his drink.

All right, listen.
I've thought about it.

I'm not on board with this.

Eve...

I know the risks, but
I made Gavin a promise.

And I'm not gonna
go back on that.

- He'll understand in time.
- How?

Because this is
about your children.

Yeah.

And if he's right about James,
then he can save my children.

All of us can go home.

No, Eve.

Why is this so important to you?

Because James took
everything from me.

My wife...

My wife is dead because of him.

So maybe I can stop
him before he takes

your family from you as well.

What happened?

Marissa and I were tracking
sinkholes together.

One of them caught
us by surprise.

The building collapsed.

I survived. She didn't.

I'm really sorry.

I really am.

But when you said Gavin
wasn't thinking straight,

there's no way you are either.

This isn't who you are, Levi.

You're not a murderer.

James is responsible
for those sinkholes.

He has blood on his hands.

Do you want to have
blood on your hands too?

When Gavin was drinking and I
was spiraling, I was so lost.

And you reminded
me of who I was.

You steadied me.

Please let me be
that for you now.

Please?

Thank you.

Let's get back to the wedding.

James.

I'm so glad you decided to come.

Well, it's an honor
to be included.

It's been some time since I've
been to a good celebration.

Come on, please.

So how are you?

I am...

Well-rested.

You know, last night I thought
about everything you said,

and something clicked.

I had my first sound
sleep in months.

For so long, I thought there was

only one possible
relationship with my son.

And now?

Now I'm learning to see
that you have to appreciate

what's in front of you.

Gavin.

It's good to see you.

Thanks for coming.

What do you say
you show me around?

Yeah, please.

You need to come join
everybody at the party

and have, like, a
little bit of fun.

Just keeping an eye on James.

I'm not crazy about
letting him in.

I don't like it either.

But I know that's
not the reason why

you're sitting all alone.

OK, fine.

Maybe all this got me
thinking about my wedding.

Did I ever tell you about this
tiny church we got married at?

Only about 100 times.

Yeah, well, sometimes
it just feels

like other people are moving
on, making new memories here.

And mine are all
still back home.

Dad, we're gonna go home soon.

We found Moore's journal.

Caroline's working
on the notes now.

These are all
really good things.

So you did find something
in Moore's cave.

Josh.

Hey, come on.

Can we talk about this?

I think I heard plenty.

I'm sorry I lied.

After everything
we've been through,

you still don't trust me?

No, Josh, this
isn't about trust.

Caroline made me promise
to keep this a secret.

Not from your dad.

So it sounds like maybe
it's just about me.

I could slip 'em a few oranges,

get them to play
"Brown-Eyed Girl."

You all right?

What's up?

I thought coming to the wedding

would help me get my mind
off those Bible verses,

but it's not working.

You know, I might
know how to fix this.

If you're up for an adventure.

How could I say no to that?

Did she say why she's here?

No, just that she
wanted to speak to you.

Kira, you can't be here.

How are you feeling, Doctor?

You've taken me away
from my wedding.

What is it that you want?

To talk about James.

There's nothing to talk about.

I heard you sent the
exiles to our clearing.

I was only following
James' orders.

He is obsessed with
getting that journal.

Until he has it, he'll
hurt anyone he needs to.

Let me in, Ty.

I can stop him.

And I will use that journal
for the greater good.

Why should I believe you?

Because I actually care.

I joined this project to help
people, to save our world.

James is only thinking
about himself.

And what if I told
you that you're wrong,

that he might have changed?

Then I'd say he's
gotten inside your head.

The moment he has that journal,
you'll see who he really is.

It's time for you to leave.

I'm sorry to say this
on your wedding day.

This will not end well for you.

Keep your eyes closed.

Well, we're here.

Oh.

You can... You can
open your eyes.

Nature's hot tub.

What do you think?

I think it's amazing.

But that's not all.

No. Is that a Pop-Tart?

How did you...

It sure is.

How did you...

Uh, Lucas, how is this
supposed to help me

figure out those Bible verses?

It'll take your mind off it.

Sometimes when
you've got a problem,

the best thing you can do
is just walk away for a bit.

Mm.

So jump in.

Relax.

See if it helps.

Come on.

It's really nice.

Oh, I... I won't peek.

You're right.

This is relaxing.

Ah, see?

I told ya.

You're back.

What the hell is
James doing here?

Maybe first you should
tell me where you've been.

I was worried.

I did find a piece of Moore's
work, pages of his notes.

I've been with my father
trying to make sense of it.

But we couldn't.

OK.

There's something
I need to show you.

We found this yesterday.

It's Moore's journal,
his completed work.

Let me take a look.

OK.

So this is where you grew up.

Yeah.

I wish I could remember
more from before then, but,

you know.

Hey, after we figure this out,

I'm gonna take you
to a spot you loved.

It's up on a hill.

You used to picnic and
watch the mammoths move

across the valley.

It's... it's beautiful up there.

You know, I'd really like that.

I would.

You should go.

Thank you all for
being here today.

Every day since we've got
here has been a struggle,

and we've certainly faced
our share of hardships.

But we've also had our
share of blessings.

Today is one of them.

We're surrounded
by friends, family,

and the people we love.

No matter what time we're in,

those are the
things that matter.

You've each been given
a handful of seeds.

When you throw them, we
each share in the blessings

of this union and this day.

You know, there's
one of my traditions

I'd also like to share.

May I?

Now let's celebrate!

Can you save some
for the rest of us?

Sorry. I was just...

You were swiping
booze at a wedding

when no one was watching.

Your secret's safe with me.

You must be Josh.

I'm James.

I know.

It's nice to finally
meet my grandson.

Looking at you is like
staring into a mirror...

A very old mirror.

I'm sorry.

This must be a lot.

You know, we need
to break the ice.

Fermented corn.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

No, not at all.

See?

Ice officially broken.

Tell me more about you.

How are you enjoying
the wedding?

The drinks are good.

Girls are complicated.

That sounds a lot
like my teenage years.

So even in the future
girls crush your soul.

Oh, yeah.

I wish I could tell
you that our species

has evolved as much as
our technology, but no.

I see you two have met.

I would say we've
become fast friends.

Yeah.

He was giving me some
relationship advice.

You want some real advice?

What I've come to
realize as of late

is that mistakes are made
in every relationship.

All you can do is apologize,
hope you've learned a lesson,

and move on.

You can't move backwards.

I like this version of you.

Being outside of the
building suits you.

Look at us, three
generations all together.

I wouldn't trade this
day for anything.

- Hey.
- Hi.

You having fun?

Yeah.

You have some admirers.

Why don't you go talk to 'em?

It's a wedding.

Have fun.

Maybe later.

You all right?

It's probably nothing, but...

Levi seemed a little off.

I know. I know.

I think maybe being at a wedding

just brought up
feelings about his wife.

Yeah.

That's what I thought,
so I followed him

just... just to talk.

But he was picking flowers.

What flowers?

Ones that Scott told
us were poisonous.

Mom.

Mom, what's going on?

Eve, everything OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's
gonna be fine.

I was just given the
most inappropriate gift

for someone dealing with the
emotional fallout of killing

a man with a freaking dagger.

You want to leave?

No, man, I want to
keep drinking and play

my favorite game, No Filter.

I've never heard of that.

Easy to pick up.

Just point at someone and
say the truth about them

without any...

Filter?

Yeah.

OK.

Uh...

Is convinced those
dance moves are sexy.

Someone really needs
to talk to him.

Right?

Mm... bah!

Very attractive
when she's angry.

No, dude.

- What? What?
- Scott.

Oh, come on. Come
on. Get over it.

Real talk.

Your turn.

Fine.

Uh...

Prefers lying over the truth.

Wow.

That got dark quick.

This a fun game.

Can I play?

Worried about what
I'm gonna say next?

Go on and get us all drinks now.

Love that idea.

I just want to ask
a simple question.

You like my daughter?

Is it OK to say yes?

Well, if you like someone,
you want them to be happy.

So why are you both
miserable at a wedding?

I'm... I'm not sure I want
to have this conversation.

Well, we're having it.

I know you've gone through some
tough times with your parents.

You've seen what secrets
can do to a relationship.

You're afraid of the same
thing happening to you.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess that's kind of it.

I understand how you're feeling.

But a lot of this
relationship crap

boils down to one question.

You want to be right, or
you want to be together?

Caroline.

You're here.

I should go.

Please.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Do you think maybe we
could talk for a bit?

You sent agents after me,
exiles after my family.

And now you want to talk?

I didn't know about
any of that, I swear.

You know about
every decision that

comes out of that building.

Times have changed.

There are others
who see the project

very differently than I do.

I am capable of many things,

but hurting you was
never one of them.

I don't believe you.

Whoa.

Easy, fellas.

I just want to have a drink
with the big boss man.

It's all right.

Any friend of Gavin's
is a friend of mine.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Wanna dance?

So I have this habit...

More of a ritual, actually,
from the air force.

Every time I'm
stationed somewhere new,

I find the guy in charge
and buy him a beer.

I'm kind of a guest
here, but a wise man

never turns down a free drink.

Cheers.

- Everything OK?
- I'll be right back.

Stay right there. Don't move.

Hey, Levi, I think you
accidentally grabbed my drink.

I don't think I did.

We were just trying to
have a conversation.

Yeah, sure, I know.

I just wanted to
get my drink back.

No need to argue on my behalf.

Thanks.

My mistake.

Let's get back to our friends.

Yeah? Can you excuse us?

Yeah, no problem.

Let's have a drink another time.

Definitely.

OK, that bite just
changed my life.

You have to try this.

No, come on. I got it for you.

So did any of this help?

So far I got nothing.

It's been a pretty
great day, though.

Silas, hey!

Hey.

You have to help me.

I have to get to my grandson.

You're all in terrible danger.

I thought we agreed you
were done with this.

I know you were trying
to help me earlier,

but you're the one who's
not thinking clearly.

James is dangerous.

Levi, after everything
I've seen today,

I think maybe he
deserves a chance.

So he got in your head too?

Levi...

Hey.

What's going on?

Whatever it is, you two
need to tell me right now.

Gavin, Levi tried
to kill James today,

but it's over now.

I was trying to
protect your family.

You knew about this, and
you didn't talk to me?

I mean, I thought we were
past all the secrets.

Clearly, I was wrong.
- Gavin, just hear me out.

No, no, no, no. You
and I, we're through.

I don't want you
anywhere near my family.

I have to check on Caroline.

Silas!

He's been shot.

I'll go get Sam.

They're here.

Who?

- Caroline?
- Gavin.

Gavin.

Uh... listen.

Something terrible has happened.

I found her like this.

She's gone.

I'm sorry.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Did you... did you do this?

I would... I would
never. Why would...

For the journal.

What journal?

She was trying to
protect me from you!

I should've never
let you come here.

You did let me come because
you know... you know

deep down that you can trust me.

No.

I needed to know the truth
about you, about Blue Moon.

If you want the truth, Gavin,
I can give that to you.

Blue Moon is real.

I was in pain.

I needed some way
to make it stop.

But then I met Izzy, and
I met you, and I met Josh.

And this family, your family,

taught me that Blue
Moon was wrong.

I did not take the journal, and
I would never hurt Caroline.

Well, I don't believe you!

Gavin, stop!

He killed her.

He killed her!

No.

No, Gavin, I don't think he did.

Silas is here.

He's been shot.

What? By who?

Kira.

Close the gate!

She's got Moore's journal!

Let him go!

Take another step
and I'll shoot him.

Paara, please, my
love, stay there.

I don't want you or
anyone else getting hurt.

I'll be OK.

I promise you.

Get in the truck now.

Are your scouts back yet?

No.

They're still tracking Kira.

We are gonna do everything
we can to get Ty back.

I'm sending my people to
a village south of here

to gather more warriors.

When we go after Ty,
we go with force.

Hey.

You know, when I was a kid, I
used to imagine meeting her.

She'd take me for a drive, and
she'd tell me everything...

Her funny stories,
her favorite food.

We never did any of that.

I barely know a thing about her.

You know she loved you.

That's all that really matters.

What happened today?

I thought we were
in this together.

When Ty told us about Blue Moon,

I got really scared
for the kids.

It was all I could think about.

And then... and then Levi came
to me and he wanted my help.

So you considered it.

Yeah, but just for a minute.

And then I shut it down,
and I thought he did too.

Yeah.

Gavin, I made a mistake.

You know, one way or another,
I feel like my entire life

I've been fighting to put
my family back together.

Please don't stop trying.

Please.

OK.

How's he doing?

Sam thinks he's gonna be OK.

Want to tell me what this is?

I asked Silas if he
knew Aaron, and he did.

Silas said he worked
in the building.

Holy crap.

He was a computer engineer,
worked in the basement.

He was like, nobody important.

But he had the journal.

Well, I think he
stole the journal.

And he used the portal
to get to our time.

Silas said that he would take
work from other scientists

and try and pass it off as
his own, try to get noticed.

Yeah, once a creep,
always a creep.

He acted so smart,
so in control.

Anyway, the computer
thing gave me an idea.

Programming is all numbers.

And Bible verses, also numbers.

If you write out just the
numbers of Aaron's Bible

verses the way that he
put them in the journal,

what does that look like to you?

Longitude and latitude.

This is a map.

What... what do
you think it's for?

I don't know.

But I have a feeling it's gonna
help us get everyone home.

I did it, Lucas.

I beat him.

Thanks for helping me.

How are your children?

They're hurting.

We need to know more about Kira.

I have known her for years,
and I never saw this coming.

But since both my
guards left with her,

it's safe to assume she's
now in charge of Lazarus.

She'll tell you it's
for altruistic reasons,

but the truth is, she's
always wanted to be in power.

Do you think there's any
way to reason with her?

No.

She sees everything outside
the project as a distraction.

And given you tried to
destroy the machine,

she'll never let you
near that building again.

We need the machine
to save Eve's life.

Well, then it's a
good thing I kept

a few secrets from Kira.

You have a way
into the building?

I do.

We can get back
inside together if you

are willing to trust me.
