La Brea

Mom!

When we fell through that sinkhole,

we ended up some time around 10,000 B.C.

There is a building with a portal.

It can connect to the future.

Every time that portal's bent to a new time,

it creates a new sinkhole.

We can fix the machine so it won't cause any more sinkholes

and we can still get home.

New sinkholes, they just keep opening up.

We have to stop them.

It's our only way home.

- Hey, guys! - You don't have to do this!

I'm trying to protect everyone.

I gotta stop it.

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

and we've certainly faced our share of hardships.

But we've also had our share of blessings.

I'm pregnant.

My entire life I've been fighting

to put my family back together.

We're not giving up.

There is another portal. We may still have a way home.

This is where the coordinates end.

Why are there nothing but dead bodies here?

Hey. It's okay, I'm a friend.

- Where are you from? - Here.

How did a military barracks get to 10,000 B.C.?

If you help me find my mother,

I'll tell you everything I know.

This is it.

Amazing.

It's the machine.

Something's wrong.

Look at these dates.

They're all over the place.

Those auroras,

anything could be coming out of them right now.

Run!

Wait! Wait a minute!

- Take this and go. - No, no, no, no.

We found each other once. We can do it again.

Eve!

She's gone.

Life's good, isn't it?

Hey.

You get some breakfast?

Heard someone found some hens.

They're making eggs.

Dad, I'm not hungry.

Hey, I... I know this seems hopeless.

But Scott and I, we're gonna fix the laptop.

It was connected to Moore's portal.

Maybe it can show us where your mom went.

Okay, then what do we do?

Hm?

Who cares where Mom is?

All of the auroras are closed, Dad.

There's no way to get to her.

Iz, I'm not gonna give up.

I'm gonna bring your mom back.

You've been saying stuff like that since the beginning,

all of these promises.

Look where we are.

Hey, Iz, Iz, Iz, Iz.

Dad.

I get how you're feeling.

I... I feel the same.

I miss her too.

Maybe we could, uh, work on this together.

C-could be good for us.

I can't do this right now.

Okay, security has to be our top priority now.

We need to light fires

all around the perimeter of the Clearing.

And we need to make that perimeter

as hard to break through as possible.

So you see these, these spikes?

We're gonna do the same thing side-by-side

until we got ourselves a good defensive wall.

Not an easy job, but it's doable.

Dude, we got dinosaurs down here now.

Gavin, didn't you say you and your kids

barely got away from a T. rex?

Yeah, we did, but, uh,

well, thankfully, that was a long way from here.

See? Gavin thinks it's dumb to build a wall.

No, I... I didn't say that.

Listen, no animal likes fire.

And they sure don't like running into spikes.

Look, I know it's not perfect,

but it's better than we got right now.

It's just... I mean, two days ago,

we thought we were all going home.

And now it looks like I'm gonna be

taking orders for the rest of my life,

from a guy who used to deal heroin.

Easy, Judah.

Let's just calm down.

Lucas is our leader.

He was elected fair and square.

All we can do now is push forward.

- Got it? - Okay.

Look, I understand people are frustrated,

and we're scared. I mean, I feel the same way.

But I still think there's reason for hope.

And you're right, Judah. I did use to deal heroin.

Okay? I was no good to anyone.

I hurt people. I didn't care.

But I've changed,

and now I have people relying on me.

And I'm not... I'm not just talking about you guys,

and I'm not just talking about Veronica.

Well, soon we're gonna have more people to protect.

I want to make sure our home is safe when they get here.

You're having a baby?

Yeah.

That's great.

Family's everything.

I would have donated a bottle of Malbec.

- Ah. - Congratulations.

Look, all of this to say, hope still exists here, right?

So let's get to work,

build some spikes, yeah?

- Here. - Weren't you the one

who just told everyone they need to get to work?

What kind of example are you setting, Mr. Leader Man?

I know. I know.

But trust me, you're gonna want to see this.

You wanted to show me a bag?

Yeah.

Hmm.

No.

It is an extremely comfortable mattress.

Oh.

That's much better.

Right?

It fell through one of the auroras.

Anyway, we can put this in the bus.

- What? - Yeah.

The rest of the group seemed cool with us taking it over.

I think they're, you know, excited to have a,

uh, Clearing baby.

Oh, they are, are they?

Uh-oh.

You're upset I told everyone you're pregnant, huh?

Mm, "upset" might be a strong word.

Well, I'm sorry, I just...

I'm... I'm excited, you know,

to be a dad.

I mean, we had to tell them anyway.

It just kind of slipped out. It w-won't happen again.

I'm sure it won't because I think Judah

pretty much told everyone in 10,000 B.C.

Okay, so you are upset?

I'm... excited to be a mom too.

I'm just nervous. I'm...

I mean, we don't even have any medical equipment

down here and...

You okay?

What's going on?

Oh, that.

You all right?

You feel better?

Well, we might not have medical supplies,

but we got that...

your morning sickness,

every eight hours, like clockwork.

Sam said that is a great way to tell the baby's doing okay.

So my extreme nausea's a virtue?

Okay, well, it's not ideal, but it's... it's something.

I mean, we got a home, a mattress.

And we're gonna put a wall around all of it.

It's gonna be fine.

It's gonna be great.

It is.

Okay. Grab your mattress.

I need a nap.

As you wish, milady.

Hey, Gavin Harris, the man I was looking for.

- Yep. - Hey...

Why don't you go ahead to the Clearing

while I talk to Gavin.

So what are you doing out here?

Just trying to get this computer to work.

This solar battery's fried.

You didn't find anything to charge it with, did you?

Did I ever.

Ta-da.

A potato?

Okay, you look like you're being serious,

but I don't think you should be.

Okay, a potato can be used as a source of power.

All you need is some zinc,

some copper nails, some wires,

- and a bit of good luck. - Uh-huh.

And this is something that you have done before?

Okay, look, you're missing the point.

The potato means progress.

You should be more excited about this, because I am.
