La Brea (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - The Journey, Part 1 - full transcript

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.

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!
