La Brea (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Episode #2.5 - full transcript

We need to show this to the head

of my geology department
at Caltech.

Dr. Caroline Clark.

You know who Isiah is,
don't you?

He's my son.

But that means
you're my grandmother.

Izzy thinks Gavin and I
broke up because of her leg.

You have to tell her the truth.

Things with your dad and I,
they were just broken.

And Levi, he was there for me.

The Lazarus uses
the black rock from the caves



as a fuel source
to power the portal.

The Exiles are
about to send them

- another shipment.
- And we hijack it.

That's our way
into the building.

Oh, no.

Come on.

Rebecca!

Rebecca, stay with me.

- She's gone.
- What are we gonna do now?

We're gonna go to the caves,

hijack that shipment,
and deliver it ourselves.

And then we're gonna get
our kids back.

This is a map of the caves.

This is where the shipment
of the black rock leaves from.



Once it does,
we hijack the wagon,

go to the Lazarus building,

get Josh and Riley back.

How many guards
are usually at the caves?

Five to ten at any given time.

All armed.

Be a lot easier to build a plan

if we knew the exact topography
and position of the guards.

Wish we had some sat photos.

Okay, well, how about
10,000 B.C. version?

There's a ridge line
right there.

Should give us a sight line
to the guards, the wagons,

the whole deal.

Say we pull this off.

What's the plan
once we get to the building?

Aldridge said
that this would give us access

to the portal room.

Then we just take a portal
to 1988.

We just have to trust that

the information
she gave us is good.

There's only one way
to find out.

Let's gather everyone
and get going.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hey, man, hold up.

We have a lot to talk about.

We will when the time is right.

Not now.

Hey.

We're about to take off.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

I know that if you were healthy
you would be coming with us.

And-and going to the Fort,
being with Paara...

I think that's
the right decision for you.

- It's strange.
- Being here, I think

I almost convinced myself
I was fine.

Hey, I'll see you again.

I hope so.

Eve? Hey.

- We're ready to go.
- Okay.

I think, uh...

I think we should both talk
to Izzy first.

- All right.
- I'll be right there.

Okay.

I can only imagine
how complicated things are

now that Gavin's here.

I can see that
you and Levi are... close.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know. I...

I didn't even know if I was ever

gonna see Gavin again.

It just feels like all the stuff

I was dealing with at home
has followed me down here.

If I were your therapist,
do you know what I'd say?

No.

Allowing it to fester
will only cause more pain

for everyone.

As hard as it is,

sooner or later, you're gonna
have to make a choice.

I really gotta go.

I know.

Gonna miss you.

Me too.

Iz?

Hey.

Are you okay?

I wanted to say goodbye
to Aldridge.

If it wasn't for her,

we wouldn't be
down here together.

Hey, come here.

Aldridge told me
that my mom is gonna help us.

Apparently, my parents
are both scientists

who created this building.

- Your mom is in 1988.
- That doesn't make sense.

All I know is that
I've spent my entire life

trying to figure out
where my parents came from,

and now maybe
we can get Josh back

and I can finally
get some answers.

When do we leave for the caves?

Izzy...

- I'm going with you.
- Iz, I spoke to Paara

and you can wait in the Fort
until we're back.

- Mom?
- You're gonna be

really safe there.

Ty and Paara are gonna take
very good care of you.

- Mom.
- Izzy, we were lucky enough

to escape the caves
the first time.

There's no way.
It's way too dangerous for you.

I've been in danger
since the second I got here.

I'm coming with you.
We are staying together.

End of discussion.

If we allow this,

you have to promise
that you do everything we say.

- Everything.
- No exceptions.

Okay.

Let's get everyone together
and head to the caves.

Let's go.

Sometimes you look around,

you take in
this natural landscape...

You really have to marvel
at it all.

What?

You don't have to pretend
you're all right, man.

I know you're upset
about Aldridge.

You know what?
Hey, I won't hold it

against you that you've been
lying to me for days.

But if you want to talk,

I will listen.

I'm okay. Really.

Whatever. Sucking on that's
not gonna make you feel

any better.

I know what
you're going through, so...

Aldridge was giving me a chance.

A chance at what?

To protect the people
that I care about.

Look, what we're doing
right now,

it is incredibly dangerous,
okay?

Most of you weren't supposed
to be here.

I didn't want to put anyone
in harm's way.

And now Aldridge is dead,

and I'm just a big fat failure.

Again.

What do you mean again?

It doesn't matter.

Izzy seemed a little upset
with Levi

after the wolf attack.

Yeah.

Does she know?

Yeah, I told her.

Eve, she has a lot
going on right now.

- You shouldn't have done that.
- I know. I just...

I didn't think
I could keep lying to her.

What did she say?

She was upset, obviously.

She loves you and she wants

to know what it means
for our family.

Truth is, I've, uh...

I saw you two grow closer
in my visions.

Look, I know
what I put you through.

Okay?
And I know it's my fault...

- Listen, it's not...
- That things fell apart.

And I wish I could take

everything back, but I can't.

But I'm not gonna give up
on the two of us, okay?

I love you.

And I know you still love me.

- Iz. Iz.
- Get behind the tree. Go!

Eve.

Virgil.

How did you get out?

Another prisoner,
he tried to escape.

- The guards were distracted.
- I...

I took the opportunity and ran.

What are you guys doing
out here?

We're going back to the caves.

Are you insane, man?

Why would you do that?

Place is crawling
with more guards

than I've ever seen.

Why? What's going on?

They're closing down the mine,

taking the prisoners
to another location.

Listen to me.

Going back there
is a suicide mission.

You understand?
You understand?

And we're off to a great start.

You! Move it!

Loading up the wagon, come on.

There's the wagon.

They're loading it
with black rock.

But how we gonna get to it?

Good question.

- Come on.
- Quick, get in there. Come on.

What's happening down there?

I was telling you before.

The guards are marching them
to a new mine inland.

Supposed to be
like hell on Earth.

Brutal heat
if you survive getting there.

Kind of sounds
like we should help them, too.

That shipment could take off
at any moment.

We can't lose our shot
at getting in that building.

You want to just
let those people die?

- No, of course not.
- You want to help them,

the we're gonna have
to split up.

Okay, let's do it.

Yeah.

Eve, Gavin, Izzy,
you're with me.

We'll take the wagon.

Levi, Scott, Lucas,
you help the prisoners.

Yeah. Piece of cake.

- How can I help?
- By getting to safety.

Get back to our clearing.
It's about ten miles due west.

Come on, hurry up.

Please be safe.

Iz,

I know that mom told you
about her and Levi.

Then why do you sound
so calm about it?

'Cause right now
the only important thing

is getting Josh back.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

I-I can't believe this.

You're my grandson?

You're not the only one
whose mind is blown, lady.

I mean...

Grandma?

I can see Isiah in you.

What's my son like?

He's a brave kid.

He grows up to be
an even braver man.

He made some mistakes,
but-but he learned from them.

I-I've missed so much.

Wait, sorry, but this
doesn't make any sense.

I thought his dad
was from 10,000 B.C.

So what are you doing here
in 1988?

Your father wasn't born
in 10,000 B.C.

He was born in the future.

- Time out.
- You're from the future?

- We went to 10,000 B.C.
- as part of an experiment.

We were trying
to save our world,

but we ended up doing
more harm than good.

That's why I came to 1988.

I'm-I'm trying to fix
those mistakes.

Mistakes? Like what?

Like the sink holes
and the tidal wave.

It's a lot to explain,

but our work
caused that to happen.

That's crazy.

But it still doesn't explain
why you came to '88.

The first theoretical
experiments in time travel

started in the '80s.

I needed that data
to complete my work.

Once I'm finished,

I'm gonna take it back
to 10,000 B.C.

and stop these sinkholes
once and for all.

Okay. How can we help?

First, I need to find Isiah.

No, you can't do that.

He's my son.

If you do anything to stop
Isiah from getting adopted

and growing up to become
Gavin Harris,

I'll basically cease to exist.

Okay. I won't.

Franklin said you could
help us put the word out,

get people to believe us
about the tidal wave.

He said it's gonna happen
in the next 72 hours.

I can help.

My data's at my office.

I need to review it
and figure out the next steps.

Meet me there in two hours.

Okay.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

- Who's that?
- Quickly.

- That's Ta a met.
- He oversees the operation.

Okay. And those
are the wagon drivers, right?

- Move. Faster.
- Yeah.

Are we gonna take him out

and grab their wagon?

- No, no. We can't do that.
- We're too exposed.

What do we do then?

We wait
till the guards get going.

We follow them
and then we make our move.

- Agreed. Yeah.
- Let's get out of here.

There's a spot
about a 1/4 mile west where...

- Eve? Iz?
- Hey, you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

What was that?

It's a booby trap.

Exiles must have set it up.

I think we're back in the caves.

We're not the first ones

they've trapped in here.

Oh.

What the hell?

Mom, there's something
on my back.

Oh. Oh, God, get it off me.

I really hate spiders.

- I know you do, honey. I know.
- It's okay. It's gone.

Hey, you're fine.

- Oh, my God.
- They're everywhere.

Back up. Back up.

Everybody behind me.

- Izzy, listen to me.
- You have to breathe.

I need you to breathe.

Breathe.

Take a deep breath.

They were mining these caves.

They must have loosened
the walls.

- Izzy! Let's go!
- I can't.

- Come on!
- All right, all you gotta do

is get through that hole
in the wall behind you, okay?

You gotta breathe
and you gotta move.

Izzy, come on!

- Iz. Izzy!
- Move your feet. Go.

Please...

- Izzy?
- I really can't.

I...

- Go, go, go, go.
- Okay.

Eve.

Eve, let's go.

Sam? Sam, come on.

Let's go.
Sam! Come on.

Go!

Hey. Hey.

Let's take them by surprise.

I don't see how we do that here.

Too much open terrain.

Okay, so let's keep
tailing them,

see if there's more cover
up ahead.

Even if there is,

they have us outmanned
three to one.

We need more manpower.

Hold on.
They're marching north.

So?

Paara's village
is in that direction.

It's only a couple miles
from here.

You guys keep tailing them.

I'm gonna catch up
as soon as I can, okay?

He really is heroic, isn't he?

No. No, no, no.

Oh, God, please no.
Not today.

- Dude, it's empty.
- Get over it.

- No, you don't understand.
- I need this to function.

Well, I don't see
a dispensary around here, man.

So you better figure it out.
Fast.

- You're fine.
- Everything's fine.

Totally and completely fine.

I have to say,
it is really nice to be here.

I couldn't agree more.

Don't mind them.
They're just curious.

Curious isn't exactly
the word I would use.

They're not used to seeing me
with someone.

Especially not a sky person.

Give them time.

How long's it been

since you and your husband
were together?

Many years.

- It's okay.
- You can talk to me about him.

I am a professional listener.

He was my first love.

We wanted to start
a family together,

but he passed away.

- Oh, Paara, I'm so sorry.
- What happened?

Honestly, I prefer
not to speak about it.

It took a long time,

but I've put
that pain behind me.

I'm finally ready
to be happy with you.

Back exit is gonna
be down this tunnel.

Wait. No, no, no, no, no.

They closed it off.

We're trapped here.

Look, we have to get
to that wagon before it leaves.

Sam...

the guards, they were busy
clearing everything out.

So they'll be distracted.

- Maybe we can sneak out.
- Exactly.

Okay, look.
The main gate is right here.

Down this way.

- You guys stay here.
- I'll take a look.

Stay with your family, Gavin.

Be right back.

If we don't get to that wagon,

we're never gonna get Josh back.

I know it's scary right now,

but we're gonna do
everything we can

to get to him.

We've come this far, right?

We're not gonna stop.

Okay?

Yeah.

Is this really how
it's gonna be from now on?

Pretend like
everything's fine...

when clearly it's not?

Iz, this is not the time.

Yeah, it is.

I want us to be a family again.

That's why we're doing
all of this.

Or at least I thought it was.

I know
it's complicated right now.

It doesn't have to be.

You love Dad, right?

Izzy, please.

No, if you love someone,

then you should want
to be with them.

Iz, don't put this
on your mom, okay?

The problems we have are
'cause of things that I did.

The visions weren't your fault.

Okay? And you're trying
to make up for it.

That has to count for something.

Doesn't it?

Hey, I think I found a way out.

Let's go.

Excuse me,
I'm looking for Dr. Clark.

- Not here.
- My friend and I just went

to her office
and she wasn't there.

Well, you won't find her there.

She's asked me
to cover her lecture

and her office hours.

Do you know where she went?

She only said
it was a family matter.

Hold on.

I know this will sound odd,

but I think Dr. Clark
might be making

a really big mistake right now.

Please, if you know
anything else,

you have to tell me.

All I know is,
when she asked me to cover,

she was on the phone
with Child Protective Services.

She's gonna adopt Isiah.

Oh, no.

I'll be back.

I'm here about an adoption.

Just one moment, please.

Child Protective Services,
can I help you?

Aw, come on.

- Dude, there's nothing there.
- Let it go.

- I find it soothing, okay?
- Leave me alone.

They're marching
those prisoners to that raft.

- Yeah.
- They're gonna sail them

- down the river.
- Yeah.

As soon as that sail
catches any wind,

we won't be able to keep up.

- We got to stop them.
- We should wait for Levi.

There's no time, okay?

No. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on.
There's gotta be another way.

Get off!

I won't let you die, too, okay?

Look, yes, all right, fine.

I am totally screwed up
about Aldridge dying, okay?

But this goes so much deeper
than you know.

What?

When I was 13,
my older brother died.

What happened?

We were at the beach.

He liked showing off to me.

He wanted me to see
how far out he could swim.

I thought he was so cool.

But then he started to struggle.

I wasn't a strong swimmer.
I didn't know what to do.

I just...

I just froze.

He was always the one
who looked after me.

And when he needed me the most,
I wasn't there for him.

I didn't do anything.

Ever since then, I've had
these deep anxiety issues

and this fear
that I couldn't protect

the people that I love.

Until now, this vape
was the only thing

getting me through it.

Dude, I'm sorry
about your brother.

Really, I am.

Thank you.

But that doesn't change the fact

that those people need our help.

Scott, hey.

You can do something
about that, okay?

What do you say, man, huh?

We go down there
and we save them.

You and me, huh?

Come on, man.
You don't need that.

Come on.

Okay.

There are four guards here

and they still have a ton
outside the main gate.

So we can't just walk out.

No. Not the way we look.

We take out these guards,
steal their clothes...

And then we can just walk
right out of here.

And we take their shipment, too.

Exactly.

Check that.

On it.

Let's get changed.

Let's make it quick.

Hope it fits.

- Eve, here.
- Thanks.

Hey.

And thank you for being here.

I don't know if I said that yet.

Nowhere else I'd rather be.

Hey.

Shh.

Hey.

- I didn't hear anything.
- Shh.

We should get changed.

- All right, gather and march.
- Come on.

Get on the raft.

- Ah!
- Move it. Come on.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

I can't let you ship
those people

- off to their deaths.
- Take him!

- Go. Come on, come on.
- After him.

Scott! Scott, now!

You're not going to die.

You're not gonna die.
I am not going to die.

You get back here now!

Yes.

Oh, hell yes.

- After him!
- Quick, turn around.

Scott. Scott!

Run!

Scott! Run!

Run!

You're gonna die.

You're gonna die.

Get him!

Must run faster!

No! Oh, no!

Holy mother of God.

Dude.

Oh, man.

Oh, boy.

Set the prisoners free!

Dude, you really left it
to the last minute.

Had to make you sweat
a little bit.

Ty, am I glad to see you.

You okay?

Well, it really is hard to say,

but I think so, yeah.

- All right.
- Let's go find the others.

Everybody stay calm.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Hyah!

Hold up.

Whoa.

Where have you been?

Sorry, we got delayed.

By what?

- Lot of rock.
- Went as fast as we could.

Don't be late.

Let them pass.

Hyah.

Where's the wagon?

- What do you mean?
- They just left.

I found the drivers tied up.

Guards! Let's go!

Looks like we made it.

Everyone all right back there?

I'm better
now that I can breathe.

Damn it.

We've got company!

What are we gonna do?

Just keep going. Keep going.

Where are they?

Izzy!

Eve!

Izzy!

Eve!

Eve!

You okay?

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I got him.

Paara!

Paara.

Why didn't you take the shot?

I know him.

How? Who is he?

Paara, who is that?

My husband.

Look, it's Caroline.

She's gonna try to adopt him.

We should stop her.

Josh?

Those people, those are...

Those are my dad's
adoptive parents.

That girl,
that's my aunt Jessica.

I'd like you to meet
Curtis and Amanda Harris.

Curtis and Amanda
are my colleagues.

They've been wanting to adopt
another child for a while now,

and I knew
how much they'd love you.

Do you mind just giving us
a minute?

Of course.

Come on.

I want you to know something.

I think you are
the most amazing little boy.

Who are you?

You don't remember me at all?

I can't remember anything
before a few days ago.

But I feel like
I know you from somewhere.

- Well, you're right.
- We do know each other.

But it's from a long time ago.

Then why aren't you adopting me?

I wish more than anything
that I could.

Really, I-I do.

But... you're meant to go
with my friends.

One day,
I hope you'll understand.

But until then,

there's no one I trust more.

You're gonna have
a great life with them.

How do you know?

I just do.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Dr. Clark!

So I guess you found me.

Those people back there,
your... friends?

Those are my father's
adoptive parents.

How did you know that?

You told me Isiah grows up
to be a man named Gavin Harris.

It all made sense.

I knew where
he was supposed to go.

I just wanted to see him
one last time.

For what it's worth, your...

Your friends,

my grandparents,

they did a really great job.

I'm just glad I got to play
a small part in it.

So what now?

- Come with me.
- Where are we going?

You said you wanted
to help stop the tidal wave.

Well, there's a lot
that needs to be done.

- What the hell happened here?
- It's a long story.

Where have you been?

We were freeing the prisoners.

They're headed back to the Fort
with Paara's men.

So it seems like we can say
mission accomplished?

Not quite.

What happened?

Ta a met. He escaped.

You know him?

They were married.

Why was he here?

Ta a met led a rebellion
against our village.

I found out and exposed him.

He and his followers
were forced to leave our home.

Taamet's people went on
to become the Exiles.

I considered him dead.

But now it seems
I must deal with him again.

- Why?
- What do you mean by that?

This is something
Ta a met and his people

will not soon forget.

I'm afraid they'll come
for all of us.

Okay, we'll deal
with that later.

Right now, we need to keep
moving to the building.

We'll head back to the village,

prepare for what's to come.

Still think you need that
after today?

I guess not.

Hey, you good?

I guess. I don't know.

Look, I haven't known you
a long time,

but what I do know is
you're a survivor.

Whatever happens next,
you'll get through it.

Eve?

I'm not asking you
to make a choice.

Not today at least.

Now, I know everything
is uncertain right now,

but what I do know

is that my life
is nothing without you.

And I want you to know,
no matter what happens,

I'm gonna do whatever I have to
to win you back.

Look.

Whoa.

What now?

Okay, here we go.
