La Brea (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Murder in the Clearing - full transcript
[dramatic music]
- In 1988, there's a sinkhole
in the Santa Monica Bay.
It's opening right now.
- We're gonna go
back to 10,000 B.C.
and upload the virus.
- And destroy the
portal for good.
- We agreed. If I
threw the fight,
I'd give you the cure,
and you'd let me go.
You and everyone you
know will pay for this.
- I had a vision.
It was of your mom
surrounded by all these flowers.
I think she was dead.
- Mom dies in 10,000 B.C.
- I'm on the verge of
stabilizing the portal.
We can get her home.
Stop the upload
and save your wife.
♪
[crickets chirping]
- I did what you asked.
Now it's your turn.
Tell me your plan.
- Gavin, I am going to
tell you everything.
But first, I need you just
to sit down and relax.
- No, I don't want to relax.
I want answers.
- The virus your mother designed
severely damaged the machine.
So step one, my team has
to repair what was broken.
- Okay. And then?
- Then we fix it
so it can finally
be used safely.
- What's this?
- Proof the solution exists.
I've been searching
for years for answers.
I believe one scientist
has discovered them.
- Okay, great.
I want to talk to them now.
- So do I.
But Dr. Harold Moore
went missing a year ago.
But I believe he's still
here in 10,000 B.C.,
and you just may be
able to find him.
- If you can't find him
with all of your
resources, how can I?
- Dr. Moore was a close
friend of your mother's.
If you were to ask
Caroline for help,
I'm sure she would listen.
- No. She dedicated
years of her life
to destroying your project.
Somehow, I don't think she will.
- Caroline used to
care about this work.
And deep down, I
know she still does.
We can save your wife,
and we can do it together.

♪
Apparently, you have a visitor.
- Mom!
- Hey.
Hey, I was so worried about you.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, we're fine.
- Fine? How can you be fine?
Why didn't the virus upload?
- Because I stopped it.
- Dad's got a lot to tell you.
- Okay, when we came back here,
you asked me if
I'd had a vision.
The truth is, I did.
Okay, look, there's no
easy way to say it, okay?
But you... You were
in my arms, um...
But you were dead.
♪
- Okay.
What does that have to do
with stopping the virus?
- I did it because we need
to keep the portal open,
because we need to get
you out of this place.
In my vision, your death
happens here in 10,000 B.C.
- He... he saw these
flowers falling around you,
but they only grow
here in this time.
- I...
- [mutters]
- From the looks of it,
I see that Gavin
has broken the news.
I realize this is confusing.
But I am here to help.
I can save your life.
- [sighs]
- Eve, hey.
Just hear him out.
- I understand why
you're wary of me,
but I do care.
I'm the reason you
got your son back,
and I asked for
nothing in return.
Isn't that worth giving me
the benefit of the doubt?
- I really want to trust you,
but every fiber in my
being is telling me not to.
We need to get back to Josh.
- Son.
She'll come around.
♪
- Eve.
Eve.
- [scoffs]
- Hey, hey.
I understand how you
feel about James.
Okay, I feel the same.
- So do I.
- But if there's even
a chance to save your life,
why won't you consider it?
- [sighs]
- Hey!
- Josh.
[soft music]
- You're back.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- We were so worried about you.
What happened?
- Ah, I twisted my ankle.
It slowed me down,
but I'm all right.
- Yeah, next time
try to keep up.
♪
- Didn't even ask us, Sam.
- Went behind our back.
[overlapping chatter]
- Should have had a say about...
- The right to
make that decision.
- What's that all about?
- I may have had
something to do with that.
[tense music]
Sort of told 'em what
you guys were up to.
Caroline's plan to destroy
the machine, the virus,
trapping everyone
down here forever.
- Josh, why would you do that?
- It was raining fish, Izzy.
People were kind of
curious what was going on.
- Eve! Gavin!
You're all right.
Thank God.
- What about you?
Those people seem pretty angry.
- Well, apparently people
get upset when they find out
you're trying to take away
their shot at getting home.
- You know it's more
complicated than that.
- I know. But
like any society,
some people see it one
way, some see it another.
So what happened?
We thought James
caught you, or worse.
♪
- Gavin had a chance
to shut it down,
but he didn't.
- James has a way
to fix the machine.
So it won't cause
any more sinkholes
and we can still get home.
- And you believe him?
- I don't know.
But if there's a
chance he's right,
then we have to do something.
- Yeah.
I went to a dark
place yesterday.
I was ready to do anything
to keep that portal open.
So I gotta admit,
this is welcome news.
- Sam, to be clear, the
virus damaged the machine.
There's no guarantee that
my father can fix it.
- Help! Help!
- That's Riley.
- Stay with the kids.
I'll be right back.
[suspenseful music]
- Riley, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
♪
It's Wyatt.
- He's gone.
- What the hell happened to him?
- Was it an animal?
- Looks like a knife wound.
Wyatt was murdered.
♪
[dramatic music]
.
- I can't believe this.
Who would murder Wyatt?
- There's a symbol in the dirt.
Anyone recognize it?
[tense music]
- Nope.
Never seen it before.
♪
- Wyatt must have drawn
that as he was dying.
- He was trying to
tell us something.
- Why not just say
who killed him?
- Maybe he did, we
just can't see it yet.
- Whoever did this,
we need to find them.
- What you need to do is rest.
You shouldn't be on
your feet at all.
- Sam, I have to help.
- All right.
The body still has
some warmth to it.
This didn't happen
very long ago.
First thing we need to
do is look for witnesses.
- So you guys take away
our only way out of here,
and now you want to
start giving orders?
- We just want what's
best for everyone here.
- Well, I'm glad you
can decide that for us.
But while you're off
playing Ms. Pac-Man in '88,
some of us are trying to
make this place livable.
- Fine.
I'll interview people.
- Honestly, I...
I don't think many of them
want to talk to you right now.
- We'll handle it.
But somebody should
retrace his steps.
He wasn't killed here.
- Yeah? How do you know that?
- Broken branches,
scuff marks in the dirt.
I mean, obviously,
Wyatt stumbled here
from somewhere else.
Both my parents are cops, dude.
- Okay, but who would
do something like this?
- Could have been anyone here.
- You think someone from
the Clearing killed Wyatt?
- How much do we
really know each other?
- Sure, but there are other
suspects to consider, right?
- The people from the
building, the Exiles.
- Agreed.
Until we know more,
we need to consider everyone
a potential suspect.
♪
- Hey. Eve, hey.
Where are you going?
- I'm organizing a patrol
around the Clearing.
We need to secure the area.
- Okay, you don't
need to do that.
My vision, we... we can stop it.
Help me. Come on.
- Gavin, it's a vision.
Nobody even knows if it's real.
And I think your father is using
your fear to manipulate you.
- I understand why
you don't trust James.
But you can trust Caroline.
If she can find this
Dr. Moore, come on,
we can get you home,
get everyone here home.
- I know you're
worried about me,
but you don't know when or where
or if this vision is
even gonna happen.
Right now, what we do know is
there's a murderer out there.
And I'm really worried
about our kids.
- Okay, I am too.
But I am more worried
about our kids not
having a mother.
We need to do everything
we can to get you home.
- I'm not going with you, Gavin.
♪
- [sighs]
- So you arrive in
the clearing today,
right before Wyatt was killed.
- You actually
think I'm a suspect?
- Honestly, we don't know
anything about you...
Well, except that you're a
time traveler from the future.
And you're a scientist.
And you're Josh's incredibly
young grandmother,
which maybe is a lot.
- Guys, I can promise you,
my mom had nothing
to do with it.
- Just dotting the I's
and crossing the T's.
- You wanna go do
that somewhere else?
- All right, Scott, come on.
- Sorry about them.
They're just on edge.
- Yeah. I am too,
and not just because
there's a murderer here.
I heard what you
did. Izzy told me.
- I'm sorry I didn't go
through with the plan, okay?
But James has a way
to fix the machine.
All that work you've put in
to stopping those sinkholes,
you might still get to do that.
- You can't believe
anything your father says.
- Was he lying about Dr. Moore?
Apparently, he's been
working on a solution.
- He was, but he
never solved it.
- How do you know?
You left the Lazarus
building years ago.
He's had plenty of time
to work on it since.
Look.
This... this is Moore's work.
Okay? It's all James has,
and it's part of
a larger equation,
but if we can find the rest,
we'll get the answer.
Come on, hey, I...
I know you couldn't be there
for me when I was a kid,
but you're here now,
and I need your help.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Everybody grab a
weapon, a whistle,
and stick to your
assigned areas.
And remember, the person we're
looking for is very dangerous.
So stay in teams of two.

And neither do I.
Josh, you didn't meet James.
I did. This doesn't feel right.
- Look, I get it.
But Dad says we have to do this.
We have to find a
way to save Mom.
- Is that what this is about,
or is it because
you feel guilty?
- What?
- Josh, you spent
years not believing Dad
about his visions.
- [barely audible] Okay.
- I know you want to
make up for that, I do.
But I don't think
this is the way.
Josh, I'm worried.
We worked so hard to
get back together,
and this is already
breaking us apart.
- Nothing's gonna work
out if Mom isn't here.
We have to do
something to save her.

- Judah, the whole Clearing
saw you two arguing yesterday.
- Yeah, it got pretty heated.
- So?
I saw you arguing
with Wyatt too.
It doesn't mean I'd kill him.
We were friends.
But... but maybe I can help you.
Okay, um, the last
I saw of Wyatt,
he told me he was heading to
the mushroom field to forage.
- And were you anywhere
near that field?
- Come on, man. I didn't do it.

You're not buying
the Illuminati.
- No.
- Um,
consider the Knights Templar.
- Seriously?
Judah, leave.

- 15 interviews, and
we've learned nothing...
Except Judah's still annoying.
I think we need to
reconsider what we're doing.
The killer might not be here.

more people to talk to.
- I know, but there are
some scary people out there.
Like those Exiles,
they're freaking crazy.

and no one's heard
from him since.

- So should I gear up then?
- [sighs]
Eve still isn't back yet.
What I really need
is someone here
in case there's another problem,
someone who knows how
to make hard choices.
You know anyone like that?
- I think I might.
[tense music]
- Mom?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Mom!
Are you okay?
- I need to lie down.
- Okay.
- Let's get her on the bus.
- Does this mean
we're going home?
- These are just rough notes.
They're not finished.
- But you think he was
on to something, right?
- Yeah. I think so.
- I'll get Josh and Gavin.
- Uh, Riley, wait.
No one can know
about this but us.
- Why?
- If we share this with Gavin,
it'll end up with James.
I promise you it will
not end well for anyone.
- You want me to
keep this a secret
until you know exactly
what you're dealing with?
- Hey.
There's nothing back there
but some old equipment.
You guys have any luck?

- No. Sorry.
- Okay. We should get
back to the clearing.

- Hey, how's your mum?
- Sam says she'll be
okay. She just needs rest.
- How about you?
- What happened today with
my mom made me realize
that the best way to
keep my family together
is just to stick by 'em, so
that's what I'm gonna do,
no matter how crazy it gets.
- Sounds like a smart plan.
[wincing]
- Where are you going?
- I want to go with
Sam to find Taamet.
But I don't think I can.
[sighs] I can feel myself
getting weaker by the moment.
- Look, whatever
you're gonna do,
just be careful.

- [breathing heavily]
- Someone's coming.
- I mean no harm.
I'm here to see James.
[music playing softly]
- Sir.
- Normally, we don't
allow visitors.
But my guards tell me that
you are a friend of my son's.
So how can I refuse?
Please, have a seat.
No, I... I know, I know,
it's a lot to take in.
I had the same reaction
the first time I
stepped into Lazarus.
Glass of wine?
- No.
This is very nice, but I
didn't come here to drink.
- Oh.
What did you come here for?
- I was told you
have a good hospital.
And unfortunately,
I'm in need of one.
I have a brain tumor.
It's terminal.
- I am sorry.
Cancer can be cruel and unfair.
- Believe me, I know.
- But whatever cards
you were dealt,
we can reshuffle the deck,
help you play another hand.
- You're saying you
have a treatment?
- A cure, if given
the full regimen.
It took doctors until the
mid-2060s to discover it,
but they did.
And we have it.
- I'm sorry. I...
I've gotten bad news
for a very long time.
And this...
it seems too good to be true.
- You are wondering
if there's a catch.
- Is there one?
[tense music]
- Only a request.
♪
In my position,
I'm expected to have
all the answers.
I still have questions,
and no one to confide in.
- Having someone to speak
with can be a powerful thing.
- During your intake,
you told my guards
that you're a psychiatrist.
- I am.
- Do you think we could
arrange a time to chat?
- How about now?
[bird screeching]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Just got back.
You okay?
- Sam says it's a
pretty bad concussion.
But I'm happy to see you.

Yeah, it's, uh... it's like
the one in your vision.
Believe me, I thought
a few times today
it was gonna come true.
- Doesn't mean we're past it.
We have to talk about my vision.
Just because you don't
want it to be real,
doesn't mean it isn't.
- I know.
And you're right, I was scared.
But I'm not gonna
hide from it anymore.
- Okay.
We'll deal with it together.
- But we have to be on the
same page about everything.
That includes your father.
- I found Dr. Moore.
Dead.
But he had this.
I don't know what...
What it does yet,
but I believe it could
help get you home.
So I have to go talk to
James and get some answers.

- I messed up.
I mean, I was just trying
