La Brea (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 14 - Episode #2.14 - full transcript
- The building's gone.
We're here for the long term.
- We may still have a way home.
Moore built another portal.
- The truth is, the closer
we get to going home,
the more I'm not sure
it's what I want.
- I need to tell you something.
But maybe now's not a good time.
I don't know how to be a mom.
- The first thing
about being a mom
is knowing if you are one.
- Why haven't you made
up with Riley yet?
You need to fix things now.
- Were you and Mom
getting divorced?
Dad, why didn't
you say anything?
- Now's not the time.
To get to Moore's portal,
we have to go through there.
- What about Gavin's vision?
I'm not letting my
family walk into danger.
I'm going. You guys OK?
- Look.
This is what I saw.
Gavin, no.
- Should we pull
him off this rock?
- No, no, no. We do
that, he bleeds out.
We've gotta staunch
the bleeding.
- Why did you do that...
Push me out of the
way of that thing?
- Couldn't let you down
so close to the end.
- Quiet, quiet, quiet.
You guys hear that?
I think there's
something out there.
- Is it another lizard?
- James?
- You're alive.
- What do you want?
- To use that portal.
We are going there now.
- That's not gonna happen.
- Do not test me.
Ah!
I got it, I got it.
What are you gonna do, kill me?
- No.
You're gonna get us home.
Having James is a
blessing in disguise.
I don't know about you,
but I don't know much about
how to operate a portal.
- How long do we have after
we take him off this thing?
- Minutes, maybe.
- Don't worry about helping me.
You gotta get the
kids out of here.
- Maybe we can do both.
- What do you mean?
- If we can use the machine
to get to the future,
why can't we use it
to get to the past?
I can go back, I can warn you,
and none of this
will have happened.
- No, no, no. You gotta...
You have the chance
to get the kids home,
you've gotta take it.
- I can do this.
I can.
At least let me try.
- Amazing.
- Get it started.
- This portal will take
you back four hours.
You should arrive relatively
close to this location.
Should?
- Time travel is an
imperfect science.
- I got this.
- No, Mom, we are
in this together.
Josh can stay here with
Dad and take care of him.
I'm coming with you.
- OK.
- Once this is done,
we have to send the
others back to our time.
- Oh, that won't be possible.
No one else is leaving. Not
while the portal's open.
Excuse me?
- This machine can only
go to one place at a time.
If you redirect the portal
once they go through,
Eve and Izzy will have
no way to get back.
- I have to go.
- We've gotta think
about everyone.
I have a responsibility
to Riley.
- Your daughter's not dying.
- Not now,
but in five minutes, it
could be a whole other story.
- Sam, I'll be back
as soon as I can.
- I can't let you do this, Eve.
- Dad.
Let them go.
Please.
- Thank you.
- Here we go.
All set.
- Look after your dad, OK?
- I will.
- Let's do this.
- It worked.
- I have no idea where we are.
How are we gonna find Dad?
- I don't know.
Do you see that cloud?
- Yeah.
- Looks like a
mountain range, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I remember seeing
it from this angle.
It was a few miles
before the campsite
where we saw the bodies.
So we can get back to the
campsite and warn Dad.
- I think so, yeah.
Let's go.
- Add some lidocaine
before you put that gauze
back on his wound.
We gotta keep him as
comfortable as we can.
- Dad, can we please
talk about it?
- There's nothing to talk about.
I get why you backed Eve.
All we can do is move forward.
- That's not what I meant.
You and Mom were
getting divorced.
You knew this the whole time.
You didn't say anything.
Why?
- 'Cause you're my kid.
You don't need to
know about that.
- We are in this together.
At least, I thought we were.
- When the building
went down, I took
a hard look at everything,
about the things I was
fighting to go home to.
But I had to be
honest with myself.
I thought I could fix what went
wrong with me and your mom,
but I realized I
was kidding myself.
- But if you're not with Mom...
what happens to our family?
- Oh.
I don't know.
That's just something we're
gonna have to figure out.
- That doesn't sound good.
- Josh, what's that noise?
- It's the machine.
Something's wrong.
- James, do you
know what that is?
- I do. And I promise you,
it does not bode
well for anyone.
- Just tell us what's going on.
- Of course.
But I need something in return.
I wanna talk to my son.
- I've never seen a
wild horse before.
- You still haven't.
That one's domesticated.
- What?
- Yeah, he's got shoes on.
And he's got a look about him.
- Since when do you
know about horses?
- When I was a kid,
my folks sent me away
to my cousin's farm,
so I got to know horses.
They hated me.
You get pretty good
with a rope, though.
I just could never wrangle them.
They know, right?
Animals...
If people are good.
See what I mean?
- Hey, I was thinking
about what you said
about going back home.
And I get why you're scared.
- Well, I've been thinking, too.
- Oh?
- I think I should stay here.
I think we should stay here.
- I think that's
a terrible idea.
- Veronica, all I have back home
is a big pile of mistakes.
I mean, I got a criminal record.
I got nothing to
offer you there.
But here, I'm different, OK?
I work here. We work here.
I don't want that to change.
- We have to go back home.
- No, we don't.
- Yes, we do.
Lucas...
I'm pregnant.
- Oh.
- "Oh?"
Is that all you wanna say?
- No. I mean...
I just, uh...
- I'm sure you're gonna
think of something
much more comforting to say.
But in the meantime, we
need to get to that portal.
- Yeah, right. No, I
mean... That makes sense.
- We should catch
up with the others.
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Let's get some water.
- That was a gunshot.
- Get down.
- What the hell is going on?
- That's how James
gets the fuel rods.
- Get on your knees.
- You don't have to do this.
- We have to help them.
- What about Dad?
- If we don't act now,
they're both gonna die.
- James, listen,
when I met you, you were
a man trying to change.
A man burdened by his choices.
But I still believe
you can make new ones.
Please, just let me help you.
- It's too late for that.
- So what happens now? Ah!
- James, stop!
Please, James!
- Ty.
You all right?
Let me help you.
- Ow. I'm OK, I'm OK.
It must have just grazed me.
- Here. Let's wrap it up.
- Mom, we have to go warn Dad.
- What do you mean?
- This is gonna be a
lot for you to process.
- This is probably the last
candy bar in 10,000 BC.
Here.
Listen, I need to talk
to you about something.
I've been trying to open
this damn thing, and I can't.
It has some kind of
locking mechanism.
And I was hoping, because I
found it next to your teddy,
maybe you might...
Petra! Nice work!
Wait.
I know that woman.
That's Maya Schmidt.
I was supposed to have a
job interview with her,
the day the sinkhole opened up.
Is that your...
Petra, you can tell me.
- Mutter.
- Mother?
She's your mom?
OK. Uh, where is she?
Is she here?
This is freaking bananas.
I mean, this can't just
be a coincidence, can it?
Gosh, I wish it was
easier to talk to her.
I used to be so good at German.
How do I help her?
What do I say?
- Petra?
Is it asthma?
Do you need an inhaler?
Uh, one of these?
That inhaler at the
campsite was yours.
OK. We need to get it.
Come on. Let's go find it.
- I need you to tell me exactly
what's wrong with the portal.
- No pleasantries.
No time for poignancy.
- No, I just need you to tell
me how to fix the machine.
- I understand.
The cooling system's
malfunctioning.
Those pipes inside the
room... You'll notice there's
no running water
going through them.
That's why the device
is overheating.
And my guess, we
only have a few hours
before it fails completely
and traps all of us here.
- I need you to fix it.
- Why would I want to do that?
When we met at Lazarus,
you said to me
you wanted to make
amends for your mistakes,
that you'd grown as a person,
and you wanted a second chance.
This is it.
I need my father.
My fate, and the fate of my
family, rests in your hands.
- If you want me
to fix the portal,
I need these restraints removed
and guaranteed access
to the machine.
- So you can do what?
- So I can go back
to where I'm from
and restart the Lazarus Project.
And unless those demands
are met, I do nothing.
- Even now, all you care
about is your own agenda.
I'm your son,
and I'm dying in front of you.
Doesn't that mean
anything to you?
- I lost my son years ago.
If you want my help,
you have my terms.
- This is it.
I know you looked at
me like I was crazy
when I said I
wanted to stay here.
- Because it is crazy.
- Maybe. But parents
raised kids in 10,000 BC,
and way before then.
People adapt to the
conditions that they're in.
- This isn't some
off-the-grid farm.
I know you're scared of going
back to the guy you were,
but you turned your life around.
You have strength. That
doesn't just go away.
- I'm, like, a week
into walking a new path.
I could get lost tomorrow.
- But you won't,
because we have each other.
- Or I drag you down with me
and worse, an
innocent little kid.
I will get you home.
But I'm staying here.
- Are you sure we're
going the right way?
I feel like we've
come this way before.
- There's a shortcut up this way
through a mountain pass.
Paara has been
teaching me the land.
I promise, we'll have you
with Gavin in no time.
- I appreciate you
letting me come with you.
- Despite everything, I
still care about you, Levi.
When we get home, I just
want us all to start over.
- Starting over isn't
so simple for me, Izz.
- Why not?
- There are things
that I was involved in
that I can't run away from.
To get back down
here, I had to cross
some powerful people.
- Which people, Levi?
- Let's just try to stay focused
on what's in front of us.
- James said it's
only a few hours
until the machine breaks down.
- If that aurora
goes out, Mom and Izz
will never get back to us.
We'll be stuck
down here forever.
- James might be a maniac,
but he's the only one who
knows how to fix this machine.
We need him.
- Nah, maybe not.
He told me the problem is
with the cooling system.
There's not enough water
flowing into the machine.
- So maybe there's something
wrong with the water source.
- There's a maze of
tunnels down here.
How are we gonna find that?
- Hold on, hold on.
I think I saw a spring
outside the cave.
- Sounds like a
water source to me.
- Judah, go check it out.
- Yeah, yeah. I'm on it.
- And take them, too.
- Guys, we got an important job.
I need you both. Come on.
Let's go.
- You should stay.
I'll go with Judah.
- Wha... Veronica...
- Mom, look!
- Is that the aurora
you came through?
- Yeah. But it was bigger.
- God, if this thing closes,
how are we gonna get back?
- You two should go now.
This might be your only
chance to get home.
- No.
I'm not abandoning Gavin.
We're gonna finish
what we started.
- Your dad's gonna be OK.
Your mom will come through.
- I've wanted to talk to you.
I'm sorry.
- Me too.
- I got scared,
and so I shut down.
I thought I could stop caring
about you, but I can't.
- Josh.
Your dad needs you.
- Dad.
Hey, Dad.
Dad. Hey.
- Hey.
- You're gonna be fine.
- No, I'm not.
- Hey.
I want you to know
that I love you.
I love you so much.
- I love you, too.
- I'm proud of you.
And tell your mom and your
sister I love them, too.
- No. Just hold on.
- Hey, it's time.
You gotta be strong.
Despite everything, I feel like
the luckiest man in
the world, 'cause...
'cause you're my son.
I'm so lucky to have
you guys as my family.
- No.
- Hey, hey, hey, Dad.
Dad.
- Uh, you don't
wanna look at that.
Let me get that inhaler.
Here.
- Danke.
- Listen, I just have a
million questions about you,
and about who your mother is,
and all I've got are
about fifty-ish words
of some pretty bad German.
But let's start again, OK?
Where are you from?
Uh, where is...
- Here.
- Here?
No, as in...
You mean in this place?
How did a military
barracks get to 10,000 BC?
Wait. Did you...
You totally understood
what I said, didn't you?
Are you serious?
You speak English, Petra?
Look, I know that you're scared.
But I hope by now that you
can see I'm a good person,
and you can trust me.
Please tell me who
your mother is.
- If you help me find my mother,
I'll tell you everything I know.
- Here's your problem.
That fallen tree must be
blocking the water that's
supposed to cool the machine.
- We need to get
this tree away now.
- OK. All right.
Now, let's go.
- Damn it!
- Hey. How come you're not
with Judah and Veronica?
What are you doing here?
- Thinking.
- Not exactly the
best time for that.
Gavin...
he's gone.
- I'm sorry, man.
- But still,
everything can change
as long as Eve and Izzy finish
what they set out to do.
But we have to keep that portal
open, so they can get back.
I need you to help me
figure out why water's
not flowing to that machine.
- No, hey, hey.
Honestly, Sam, I kinda
ruin everything I touch.
So maybe it's best I don't
go anywhere near the thing
that might get everyone home.
- What's with the woe is me?
- Veronica's pregnant.
- Huh.
And since you had a
dad that messed you up,
you think you'll do
the same to your kid.
So why bother?
Better to not try,
so no one gets hurt.
- I don't need
this from you, OK?
- Ohh.
I may be the only guy
you do need this from.
Because you and me, our dads
both did a number on us.
But sometimes, the apple
does fall far from the tree.
I'm not perfect, but
one thing I know...
I'm a good dad.
You think about yourself
a certain way, right?
And it's hard to
break out from that.
But the thing is,
change is possible...
If you let it.
But not if you're
here alone in a cave.
Listen to me.
Let's go help Veronica.
- I think we beat Gavin here.
- How can you be sure?
- Because the map is still here.
So we'll just wait for him.
- Not with that
aurora shrinking.
I'll stay. I'll wait for him.
- Levi.
- I owe you this much.
- What is that?
- I think it's the lizard.
- Look, no one can stay
here right now, OK?
We all have to go.
- All right. What do we do?
- Leave him a note.
Warn him that way.
- Good idea.
- Can we be certain
he'll find it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, we can.
Because we'll leave
it on the map.
It's gonna work.
Let's get back to the aurora.
- Come on! Uhh!
Come on!
- Ah!
- We're never gonna
move that thing.
Now that freakin'
machine's gonna explode,
and we're all gonna
be stuck here.
- No!
- Where's the portal?
- I don't know.
It was right here.
- We've lost our chance.
- Oh.
- It's not working.
- Come on, come on!
Just keep going.
Keep going. On the
count of three.
1, 2, 3!
Oh, oh!
- Lucas?
- What are you doing, Old Spice?
- Get away.
Let's go. Yah!
Come on, boy.
Come on!
Hell yeah!
We did it!
- Hey! Good work, boy.
- We did it! Yahoo!
We're outta here!
- You did it.
I thought you said
horses hated you.
- Sometimes people can change.
Let's just hope it works.
- I don't know
what just happened,
but I'm really glad it did.
- Let's go.
- Wait.
I'm coming with you.
I have to see this through.
- I'm not leaving you, either.
So. We ready, then?
- Let's do this.
You OK?
- Uh, yeah.
- Mom!
Izz!
- Josh! Josh!
- You OK?
- Yeah.
Your dad.
Is he...
- Hey.
I got your message.
- Looks to me like the
machine's working again.
So what do you say
we all go home?
- Hey, handsome.
- Hey, yourself.
- Everyone's outside.
We're gonna go get
Scott from the campsite.
- OK. And James?
- He's tied up in the cave.
Sam thinks we should
give him to Paara,
so Ty's on his way to talk
to her about that right now.
Um, Sam also said maybe you
would want this, just in case.
- Yeah.
Um...
So I... I found
something on the ground.
Oh, my God.
- I think you may
have dropped this.
- Yeah, I can't... I can't
quite get rid of that, can I?
- No.
- No.
Um, listen, there's
one more decision
we have to make
when we get back.
Are we gonna have pizza
or Chinese for dinner?
- Mm-hmm.
This is why I love you.
Hey.
I'm gonna put this back on you.
Sabretooths,
sinkholes, all of it.
I wouldn't trade any of it,
'cause it brought
us back together.
Look at what we've been through.
- I'm gonna give you a minute.
- Yeah. OK.
- Yeah?
- OK, thanks.
- OK.
Let's meet up with
everyone outside.
Your dad's right behind us.
- So it's great news.
We're going home.
- We'll go back to the
clearing and let everyone know.
Listen, I've been
doing some, uh...
Some thinking.
And, uh, I think I got a name.
- A name?
- Yeah.
- You mean a name...
- A name, yeah.
- Let me guess.
Lucas Junior.
- I mean, if it's a boy, yeah.
Of course.
- Yeah, of course.
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
- But I mean, if
it's a girl, uh...
You know, I've always
really liked the name Ella.
- Crazy day.
- Katherine, right?
- A lot on your mind?
- Excited to go home.
But now I've gotta
figure out what's next.
- Me too.
Listen, I just had
to say thank you,
for getting us through all this.
If there's ever anything
I can do for you...
- What's this?
It's my number.
I actually don't know
if it'll still work,
but if it does,
you can call me anytime.
Where are you planning to go?
You're going ahead with
Blue Moon, aren't you?
- Far from it.
You know, I thought that
family, our relationship,
is the key to everything.
And I see now it is the
reason for my failure.
Love creates weakness.
Gavin, I let my personal
feelings compromise my work,
when there should have
been no room for that.
I set my sights too narrow.
I've been trying to
help save the world,
when I should have been
trying to control it.
That's the only way
to effect change.
And now I am going to
remove anyone, and anything,
that stands in my way.
- Does that include my mother?
- Commitment requires sacrifice.
- You know what happens
to me, and to my family,
if you go through with this.
We'll cease to exist.
- You have Moore's journal.
Give it to me.
- Ah!
James!
Ah.
Tell your sister,
I'm sorry I failed.
- What are you talking about?
What sister?
- Why did you never
tell me before?
- Believe me, when
she comes for you,
you'll know why.
- Something's wrong.
We've gotta get to your dad.
- What is... whoa.
Oh, man.
- This is crazy.
- What's going on?
- Those auroras are
doorways to different times.
Anything could be coming
out of them right now.
- Oh, my God.
- Gavin. Gavin!
Are you hurt?
What's happening?
- No, I'm all right.
- Oh, my God. What happened?
- I didn't have a choice.
- What was that?
- We should go home
before it's too late.
- Hold on.
It might already be too late.
What do you mean?
- Look at these dates.
They're all over the place.
Who knows where the
portal is gonna send us?
How are we gonna get home?
- I don't know, but we've
gotta get out of here.
Go.
- All right.
- Dad, Dad, we need to go.
Come on, go!
Mom.
- Whoa, whoa, wait up.
We need Moore's journal if
we're gonna fix the machine.
Yeah, I'll get it.
- Eve!
- Wait, wait!
- No!
- No, no, no, no, no!
- Can you open it?
- No, we can't.
- Open the door!
- Move, move!
- What's happening?
- It's gonna pull Mom in!
- Here, take this and go.
- No, no, no, no!
We're not leaving!
- We're not gonna let you die!
- I'm not gonna die.
We found each other
once, we can do it again.
- Mom, Mom, no! I love you!
- Mom, no!
- Eve!
- Mom! Mom!
- Mom!
- Eve!
Eve!
Eve!
- Dad, she's gone.
- So what do we do now?
We can't use the portal.
We have no way to get to Mom.
- We find the others,
we get to the clearing,
then we make a plan.
- What was that?
Another lizard?
- I don't know of
a lizard that big.
- What could have made that?
- I have no idea.
- All those auroras opened
up from different times.
Who knows what's down here?
- Is that a T-Rex?
- Run!
We're here for the long term.
- We may still have a way home.
Moore built another portal.
- The truth is, the closer
we get to going home,
the more I'm not sure
it's what I want.
- I need to tell you something.
But maybe now's not a good time.
I don't know how to be a mom.
- The first thing
about being a mom
is knowing if you are one.
- Why haven't you made
up with Riley yet?
You need to fix things now.
- Were you and Mom
getting divorced?
Dad, why didn't
you say anything?
- Now's not the time.
To get to Moore's portal,
we have to go through there.
- What about Gavin's vision?
I'm not letting my
family walk into danger.
I'm going. You guys OK?
- Look.
This is what I saw.
Gavin, no.
- Should we pull
him off this rock?
- No, no, no. We do
that, he bleeds out.
We've gotta staunch
the bleeding.
- Why did you do that...
Push me out of the
way of that thing?
- Couldn't let you down
so close to the end.
- Quiet, quiet, quiet.
You guys hear that?
I think there's
something out there.
- Is it another lizard?
- James?
- You're alive.
- What do you want?
- To use that portal.
We are going there now.
- That's not gonna happen.
- Do not test me.
Ah!
I got it, I got it.
What are you gonna do, kill me?
- No.
You're gonna get us home.
Having James is a
blessing in disguise.
I don't know about you,
but I don't know much about
how to operate a portal.
- How long do we have after
we take him off this thing?
- Minutes, maybe.
- Don't worry about helping me.
You gotta get the
kids out of here.
- Maybe we can do both.
- What do you mean?
- If we can use the machine
to get to the future,
why can't we use it
to get to the past?
I can go back, I can warn you,
and none of this
will have happened.
- No, no, no. You gotta...
You have the chance
to get the kids home,
you've gotta take it.
- I can do this.
I can.
At least let me try.
- Amazing.
- Get it started.
- This portal will take
you back four hours.
You should arrive relatively
close to this location.
Should?
- Time travel is an
imperfect science.
- I got this.
- No, Mom, we are
in this together.
Josh can stay here with
Dad and take care of him.
I'm coming with you.
- OK.
- Once this is done,
we have to send the
others back to our time.
- Oh, that won't be possible.
No one else is leaving. Not
while the portal's open.
Excuse me?
- This machine can only
go to one place at a time.
If you redirect the portal
once they go through,
Eve and Izzy will have
no way to get back.
- I have to go.
- We've gotta think
about everyone.
I have a responsibility
to Riley.
- Your daughter's not dying.
- Not now,
but in five minutes, it
could be a whole other story.
- Sam, I'll be back
as soon as I can.
- I can't let you do this, Eve.
- Dad.
Let them go.
Please.
- Thank you.
- Here we go.
All set.
- Look after your dad, OK?
- I will.
- Let's do this.
- It worked.
- I have no idea where we are.
How are we gonna find Dad?
- I don't know.
Do you see that cloud?
- Yeah.
- Looks like a
mountain range, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I remember seeing
it from this angle.
It was a few miles
before the campsite
where we saw the bodies.
So we can get back to the
campsite and warn Dad.
- I think so, yeah.
Let's go.
- Add some lidocaine
before you put that gauze
back on his wound.
We gotta keep him as
comfortable as we can.
- Dad, can we please
talk about it?
- There's nothing to talk about.
I get why you backed Eve.
All we can do is move forward.
- That's not what I meant.
You and Mom were
getting divorced.
You knew this the whole time.
You didn't say anything.
Why?
- 'Cause you're my kid.
You don't need to
know about that.
- We are in this together.
At least, I thought we were.
- When the building
went down, I took
a hard look at everything,
about the things I was
fighting to go home to.
But I had to be
honest with myself.
I thought I could fix what went
wrong with me and your mom,
but I realized I
was kidding myself.
- But if you're not with Mom...
what happens to our family?
- Oh.
I don't know.
That's just something we're
gonna have to figure out.
- That doesn't sound good.
- Josh, what's that noise?
- It's the machine.
Something's wrong.
- James, do you
know what that is?
- I do. And I promise you,
it does not bode
well for anyone.
- Just tell us what's going on.
- Of course.
But I need something in return.
I wanna talk to my son.
- I've never seen a
wild horse before.
- You still haven't.
That one's domesticated.
- What?
- Yeah, he's got shoes on.
And he's got a look about him.
- Since when do you
know about horses?
- When I was a kid,
my folks sent me away
to my cousin's farm,
so I got to know horses.
They hated me.
You get pretty good
with a rope, though.
I just could never wrangle them.
They know, right?
Animals...
If people are good.
See what I mean?
- Hey, I was thinking
about what you said
about going back home.
And I get why you're scared.
- Well, I've been thinking, too.
- Oh?
- I think I should stay here.
I think we should stay here.
- I think that's
a terrible idea.
- Veronica, all I have back home
is a big pile of mistakes.
I mean, I got a criminal record.
I got nothing to
offer you there.
But here, I'm different, OK?
I work here. We work here.
I don't want that to change.
- We have to go back home.
- No, we don't.
- Yes, we do.
Lucas...
I'm pregnant.
- Oh.
- "Oh?"
Is that all you wanna say?
- No. I mean...
I just, uh...
- I'm sure you're gonna
think of something
much more comforting to say.
But in the meantime, we
need to get to that portal.
- Yeah, right. No, I
mean... That makes sense.
- We should catch
up with the others.
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Let's get some water.
- That was a gunshot.
- Get down.
- What the hell is going on?
- That's how James
gets the fuel rods.
- Get on your knees.
- You don't have to do this.
- We have to help them.
- What about Dad?
- If we don't act now,
they're both gonna die.
- James, listen,
when I met you, you were
a man trying to change.
A man burdened by his choices.
But I still believe
you can make new ones.
Please, just let me help you.
- It's too late for that.
- So what happens now? Ah!
- James, stop!
Please, James!
- Ty.
You all right?
Let me help you.
- Ow. I'm OK, I'm OK.
It must have just grazed me.
- Here. Let's wrap it up.
- Mom, we have to go warn Dad.
- What do you mean?
- This is gonna be a
lot for you to process.
- This is probably the last
candy bar in 10,000 BC.
Here.
Listen, I need to talk
to you about something.
I've been trying to open
this damn thing, and I can't.
It has some kind of
locking mechanism.
And I was hoping, because I
found it next to your teddy,
maybe you might...
Petra! Nice work!
Wait.
I know that woman.
That's Maya Schmidt.
I was supposed to have a
job interview with her,
the day the sinkhole opened up.
Is that your...
Petra, you can tell me.
- Mutter.
- Mother?
She's your mom?
OK. Uh, where is she?
Is she here?
This is freaking bananas.
I mean, this can't just
be a coincidence, can it?
Gosh, I wish it was
easier to talk to her.
I used to be so good at German.
How do I help her?
What do I say?
- Petra?
Is it asthma?
Do you need an inhaler?
Uh, one of these?
That inhaler at the
campsite was yours.
OK. We need to get it.
Come on. Let's go find it.
- I need you to tell me exactly
what's wrong with the portal.
- No pleasantries.
No time for poignancy.
- No, I just need you to tell
me how to fix the machine.
- I understand.
The cooling system's
malfunctioning.
Those pipes inside the
room... You'll notice there's
no running water
going through them.
That's why the device
is overheating.
And my guess, we
only have a few hours
before it fails completely
and traps all of us here.
- I need you to fix it.
- Why would I want to do that?
When we met at Lazarus,
you said to me
you wanted to make
amends for your mistakes,
that you'd grown as a person,
and you wanted a second chance.
This is it.
I need my father.
My fate, and the fate of my
family, rests in your hands.
- If you want me
to fix the portal,
I need these restraints removed
and guaranteed access
to the machine.
- So you can do what?
- So I can go back
to where I'm from
and restart the Lazarus Project.
And unless those demands
are met, I do nothing.
- Even now, all you care
about is your own agenda.
I'm your son,
and I'm dying in front of you.
Doesn't that mean
anything to you?
- I lost my son years ago.
If you want my help,
you have my terms.
- This is it.
I know you looked at
me like I was crazy
when I said I
wanted to stay here.
- Because it is crazy.
- Maybe. But parents
raised kids in 10,000 BC,
and way before then.
People adapt to the
conditions that they're in.
- This isn't some
off-the-grid farm.
I know you're scared of going
back to the guy you were,
but you turned your life around.
You have strength. That
doesn't just go away.
- I'm, like, a week
into walking a new path.
I could get lost tomorrow.
- But you won't,
because we have each other.
- Or I drag you down with me
and worse, an
innocent little kid.
I will get you home.
But I'm staying here.
- Are you sure we're
going the right way?
I feel like we've
come this way before.
- There's a shortcut up this way
through a mountain pass.
Paara has been
teaching me the land.
I promise, we'll have you
with Gavin in no time.
- I appreciate you
letting me come with you.
- Despite everything, I
still care about you, Levi.
When we get home, I just
want us all to start over.
- Starting over isn't
so simple for me, Izz.
- Why not?
- There are things
that I was involved in
that I can't run away from.
To get back down
here, I had to cross
some powerful people.
- Which people, Levi?
- Let's just try to stay focused
on what's in front of us.
- James said it's
only a few hours
until the machine breaks down.
- If that aurora
goes out, Mom and Izz
will never get back to us.
We'll be stuck
down here forever.
- James might be a maniac,
but he's the only one who
knows how to fix this machine.
We need him.
- Nah, maybe not.
He told me the problem is
with the cooling system.
There's not enough water
flowing into the machine.
- So maybe there's something
wrong with the water source.
- There's a maze of
tunnels down here.
How are we gonna find that?
- Hold on, hold on.
I think I saw a spring
outside the cave.
- Sounds like a
water source to me.
- Judah, go check it out.
- Yeah, yeah. I'm on it.
- And take them, too.
- Guys, we got an important job.
I need you both. Come on.
Let's go.
- You should stay.
I'll go with Judah.
- Wha... Veronica...
- Mom, look!
- Is that the aurora
you came through?
- Yeah. But it was bigger.
- God, if this thing closes,
how are we gonna get back?
- You two should go now.
This might be your only
chance to get home.
- No.
I'm not abandoning Gavin.
We're gonna finish
what we started.
- Your dad's gonna be OK.
Your mom will come through.
- I've wanted to talk to you.
I'm sorry.
- Me too.
- I got scared,
and so I shut down.
I thought I could stop caring
about you, but I can't.
- Josh.
Your dad needs you.
- Dad.
Hey, Dad.
Dad. Hey.
- Hey.
- You're gonna be fine.
- No, I'm not.
- Hey.
I want you to know
that I love you.
I love you so much.
- I love you, too.
- I'm proud of you.
And tell your mom and your
sister I love them, too.
- No. Just hold on.
- Hey, it's time.
You gotta be strong.
Despite everything, I feel like
the luckiest man in
the world, 'cause...
'cause you're my son.
I'm so lucky to have
you guys as my family.
- No.
- Hey, hey, hey, Dad.
Dad.
- Uh, you don't
wanna look at that.
Let me get that inhaler.
Here.
- Danke.
- Listen, I just have a
million questions about you,
and about who your mother is,
and all I've got are
about fifty-ish words
of some pretty bad German.
But let's start again, OK?
Where are you from?
Uh, where is...
- Here.
- Here?
No, as in...
You mean in this place?
How did a military
barracks get to 10,000 BC?
Wait. Did you...
You totally understood
what I said, didn't you?
Are you serious?
You speak English, Petra?
Look, I know that you're scared.
But I hope by now that you
can see I'm a good person,
and you can trust me.
Please tell me who
your mother is.
- If you help me find my mother,
I'll tell you everything I know.
- Here's your problem.
That fallen tree must be
blocking the water that's
supposed to cool the machine.
- We need to get
this tree away now.
- OK. All right.
Now, let's go.
- Damn it!
- Hey. How come you're not
with Judah and Veronica?
What are you doing here?
- Thinking.
- Not exactly the
best time for that.
Gavin...
he's gone.
- I'm sorry, man.
- But still,
everything can change
as long as Eve and Izzy finish
what they set out to do.
But we have to keep that portal
open, so they can get back.
I need you to help me
figure out why water's
not flowing to that machine.
- No, hey, hey.
Honestly, Sam, I kinda
ruin everything I touch.
So maybe it's best I don't
go anywhere near the thing
that might get everyone home.
- What's with the woe is me?
- Veronica's pregnant.
- Huh.
And since you had a
dad that messed you up,
you think you'll do
the same to your kid.
So why bother?
Better to not try,
so no one gets hurt.
- I don't need
this from you, OK?
- Ohh.
I may be the only guy
you do need this from.
Because you and me, our dads
both did a number on us.
But sometimes, the apple
does fall far from the tree.
I'm not perfect, but
one thing I know...
I'm a good dad.
You think about yourself
a certain way, right?
And it's hard to
break out from that.
But the thing is,
change is possible...
If you let it.
But not if you're
here alone in a cave.
Listen to me.
Let's go help Veronica.
- I think we beat Gavin here.
- How can you be sure?
- Because the map is still here.
So we'll just wait for him.
- Not with that
aurora shrinking.
I'll stay. I'll wait for him.
- Levi.
- I owe you this much.
- What is that?
- I think it's the lizard.
- Look, no one can stay
here right now, OK?
We all have to go.
- All right. What do we do?
- Leave him a note.
Warn him that way.
- Good idea.
- Can we be certain
he'll find it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, we can.
Because we'll leave
it on the map.
It's gonna work.
Let's get back to the aurora.
- Come on! Uhh!
Come on!
- Ah!
- We're never gonna
move that thing.
Now that freakin'
machine's gonna explode,
and we're all gonna
be stuck here.
- No!
- Where's the portal?
- I don't know.
It was right here.
- We've lost our chance.
- Oh.
- It's not working.
- Come on, come on!
Just keep going.
Keep going. On the
count of three.
1, 2, 3!
Oh, oh!
- Lucas?
- What are you doing, Old Spice?
- Get away.
Let's go. Yah!
Come on, boy.
Come on!
Hell yeah!
We did it!
- Hey! Good work, boy.
- We did it! Yahoo!
We're outta here!
- You did it.
I thought you said
horses hated you.
- Sometimes people can change.
Let's just hope it works.
- I don't know
what just happened,
but I'm really glad it did.
- Let's go.
- Wait.
I'm coming with you.
I have to see this through.
- I'm not leaving you, either.
So. We ready, then?
- Let's do this.
You OK?
- Uh, yeah.
- Mom!
Izz!
- Josh! Josh!
- You OK?
- Yeah.
Your dad.
Is he...
- Hey.
I got your message.
- Looks to me like the
machine's working again.
So what do you say
we all go home?
- Hey, handsome.
- Hey, yourself.
- Everyone's outside.
We're gonna go get
Scott from the campsite.
- OK. And James?
- He's tied up in the cave.
Sam thinks we should
give him to Paara,
so Ty's on his way to talk
to her about that right now.
Um, Sam also said maybe you
would want this, just in case.
- Yeah.
Um...
So I... I found
something on the ground.
Oh, my God.
- I think you may
have dropped this.
- Yeah, I can't... I can't
quite get rid of that, can I?
- No.
- No.
Um, listen, there's
one more decision
we have to make
when we get back.
Are we gonna have pizza
or Chinese for dinner?
- Mm-hmm.
This is why I love you.
Hey.
I'm gonna put this back on you.
Sabretooths,
sinkholes, all of it.
I wouldn't trade any of it,
'cause it brought
us back together.
Look at what we've been through.
- I'm gonna give you a minute.
- Yeah. OK.
- Yeah?
- OK, thanks.
- OK.
Let's meet up with
everyone outside.
Your dad's right behind us.
- So it's great news.
We're going home.
- We'll go back to the
clearing and let everyone know.
Listen, I've been
doing some, uh...
Some thinking.
And, uh, I think I got a name.
- A name?
- Yeah.
- You mean a name...
- A name, yeah.
- Let me guess.
Lucas Junior.
- I mean, if it's a boy, yeah.
Of course.
- Yeah, of course.
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
- But I mean, if
it's a girl, uh...
You know, I've always
really liked the name Ella.
- Crazy day.
- Katherine, right?
- A lot on your mind?
- Excited to go home.
But now I've gotta
figure out what's next.
- Me too.
Listen, I just had
to say thank you,
for getting us through all this.
If there's ever anything
I can do for you...
- What's this?
It's my number.
I actually don't know
if it'll still work,
but if it does,
you can call me anytime.
Where are you planning to go?
You're going ahead with
Blue Moon, aren't you?
- Far from it.
You know, I thought that
family, our relationship,
is the key to everything.
And I see now it is the
reason for my failure.
Love creates weakness.
Gavin, I let my personal
feelings compromise my work,
when there should have
been no room for that.
I set my sights too narrow.
I've been trying to
help save the world,
when I should have been
trying to control it.
That's the only way
to effect change.
And now I am going to
remove anyone, and anything,
that stands in my way.
- Does that include my mother?
- Commitment requires sacrifice.
- You know what happens
to me, and to my family,
if you go through with this.
We'll cease to exist.
- You have Moore's journal.
Give it to me.
- Ah!
James!
Ah.
Tell your sister,
I'm sorry I failed.
- What are you talking about?
What sister?
- Why did you never
tell me before?
- Believe me, when
she comes for you,
you'll know why.
- Something's wrong.
We've gotta get to your dad.
- What is... whoa.
Oh, man.
- This is crazy.
- What's going on?
- Those auroras are
doorways to different times.
Anything could be coming
out of them right now.
- Oh, my God.
- Gavin. Gavin!
Are you hurt?
What's happening?
- No, I'm all right.
- Oh, my God. What happened?
- I didn't have a choice.
- What was that?
- We should go home
before it's too late.
- Hold on.
It might already be too late.
What do you mean?
- Look at these dates.
They're all over the place.
Who knows where the
portal is gonna send us?
How are we gonna get home?
- I don't know, but we've
gotta get out of here.
Go.
- All right.
- Dad, Dad, we need to go.
Come on, go!
Mom.
- Whoa, whoa, wait up.
We need Moore's journal if
we're gonna fix the machine.
Yeah, I'll get it.
- Eve!
- Wait, wait!
- No!
- No, no, no, no, no!
- Can you open it?
- No, we can't.
- Open the door!
- Move, move!
- What's happening?
- It's gonna pull Mom in!
- Here, take this and go.
- No, no, no, no!
We're not leaving!
- We're not gonna let you die!
- I'm not gonna die.
We found each other
once, we can do it again.
- Mom, Mom, no! I love you!
- Mom, no!
- Eve!
- Mom! Mom!
- Mom!
- Eve!
Eve!
Eve!
- Dad, she's gone.
- So what do we do now?
We can't use the portal.
We have no way to get to Mom.
- We find the others,
we get to the clearing,
then we make a plan.
- What was that?
Another lizard?
- I don't know of
a lizard that big.
- What could have made that?
- I have no idea.
- All those auroras opened
up from different times.
Who knows what's down here?
- Is that a T-Rex?
- Run!
