Destruction: Los Angeles

Your cousin, he's so hot.

His voice is liquid panty remover.

I can confirm that is not true.

Y'all give it up for DJ Twist.

Hey!

Congrats, your new album is amazing!

- Glad you could make it. - This is Dana and Chrissy.

- Hi. - Hey, beautiful.

Hi.

Hey, look. Enjoy the party, have fun.

Whatever you need, I'm here. I have to make some rounds.

- Okay? - Okay.

And that is Marcus, girls.

- Brooke! - Jay!

- Hey. - Hey.

- Can we get a picture? - Yeah, me too.

- Absolutely. - Thank you.

Marcus! Get in there.

What is that?

Yo, it's on TV!

Hey, how is it going?

Hi.

Bad vibes in here today.

Go ahead.

Can you speculate what might have happened?

Should our residents be concerned?

We're investigating all kinds of possibilities,

from a leaking gas main to arson.

But we do have an expert from the USGS

and he is on site and will be assessing to see

if this is a natural gas buildup.

Like the 1985 Fairfax explosion.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have with us Dr. Paul Grant

from the United States Geological Survey.

Dr. Grant, how could this have happened?

Deep, minor earthquakes rupture beneath us all the time.

Not enough for us to feel it at the surface,

but some of these quakes shift the rock underground

and release pockets of trapped gas, like methane.

Hmm. Shouldn't we be able to smell a gas leak?

We add a chemical to natural gas

so that we can detect it by odor,

but if a fissure or pocket under the shop was leaking

concentrated methane into an enclosed area,

no one would know.

All gas lines running here have been shut them off,

but the fire's still burning.

It suggests methane bubbling up from underneath the ground

may be our best theory so far.

If I may, John?

Most of Los Angeles is built over former oil wells.

The city sealed two earlier this year.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

Back to you, Olivia.

Good job.

- Hey, thanks for the on camera. - Yeah, no problem.

Hey, I forgot the tickets.

Can you guys meet me at the center before my lecture?

- Yeah, sounds good. - Great.

- Hold on. -

Can you run those models again?

- I got to take this. - Yes, no problem. See you later.

Hey, you're here?

No, we're about an hour out.

I cannot wait to see you.

Yeah, the forecast looks good.

Wait until you move here.

Every day is absolutely beautiful.

- Did you get our tickets? - Of course.

Listen to this. The CA Energy Center houses

more than 30 renewable energy exhibits,

including the new history of fossil fuels--

Oh, my God, Derek. We are not doing that.

You don't have to go.

Look, we'll all go, okay? It's a family thing.

We'll do what Brooke wants tomorrow.

No, John.

We're shopping with Margot tomorrow.

Oh, Aunt Margot got me into Marcus' record party.

- When is that? - I told you about it, remember?

Chrissy and Dana are gonna pick me up.

- Who? - Pick you up...

...and drop you off, right?

I can get a ride with Marcus or Jill, whatever.

What? Today?

They have a dinosaur hall,

and the Science Center is right next door.

You'll have so much fun with your Dad.

I got to go, all right?

I'll meet you guys back at the house later.

- - Are they sirens?

- What are you doing? - Is everything okay?

Yeah, just another day in LA. Don't worry, okay?

I love you guys.

Okay, bye.

- See you later, Dad! - Bye.

Bye-bye.

- Liv? - John, monitor.

Hey!

Anyone from Emergency Management show?

Uh, not here.

We need a statement. Why aren't they investigating?

I'll find out where Garcia is.

I don't think the Chief of Police is ready...

- ...to make a statement. - Science is boring.

Earthquakes, methane, we get it.

What about a possible link to terrorism?

We're scared when the people

who are supposed to protect us aren't there.

Are we leading on this?

If you get something we can sell.

- All right. I'm on it. - When does your family arrive?

- A couple of hours. - Good.

Perfect. You've got time.

I'm texting you names and addresses.

Okay. See you.

- Got the keys? - Yeah.

- I'll drive. - All right.

Mom, do you know where that book Dad sent me is?

I want to get it signed.

Did you check your whole backpack?

- I checked. - Then, I don't know where it is.

- Maybe you didn't bring it. - I know I packed it!

No, no, no, no, no!

Lower the volume.

Derek, just calm down. Start from the beginning.

Never mind.

Okay, hit me with the C's.

- Cell, charger, cash. - You are good, man.

You should give him extra cash. He's gonna be with Dad.

You know he's going to ask about your applications.

- You should tell him. - You first.

Radiometric dating of animal bones

from the La Brea Tar Pits show the oldest fossil

to be 38,000 years old.

- Wow. -

Slow down. Almost there.

- Is it the next one or...? - Wait, this is it!

Wow.

Look at that house.

I could get used to the one percent.

Wow!

Here we go.

Beautiful.

Okay.

Finally! What freeway did you take?

I think we came in on the Five Interstate.

Oh, after 10, you have to stay off the I5,

the 405 is better.

I missed you so much. Come here.

This house is amazing.

Look at your babies!

- Oh! - Hi, Aunt Margot.

Yeah, they have their moments.

- I love your shoes. - Thank you.

We are going to have so much fun.

Come on. Come on in.

You can drop your stuff here. I'll give you guys a quick tour.

- Look at that TV. - And there's a pool!

Go on. Help yourself to anything.

You still think I should marry for love?

I think you should go to college.

Brooke, you and Derek are there.

Cathy, I set you up this time here.

And here we have Marcus' messy room.

- - Sounds about right.

- Great. - Yeah.

So, did you check out those schools I sent you?

In LA., we've got great private schools here.

Derek doesn't need a private school.

- He's doing great. - Is he still on meds?

It's not that kind of problem, Margot.

It's not a problem at all.

Um, okay. So well, there's the pool out here...

...hot tub, lounge on the chairs, wherever.

- This is beautiful. - Thank you.

God, it's so nice out here.

We can do a little barbecue,

and here we are back at the kitchen.

Nice.

Can I pour you a glass of wine?

- No, thank you. - No, she'll have a glass.

Yes, I will have a glass. Thank you.

That's good, thanks.

And I have something for you.

VIP passes?

- This is so cool. - Yeah.

Brooke is writing some of her own music.

Oh, no. It's just a few things. It's nothing like Marcus.

It starts in a few hours with the label event

and then the after party.

Marcus knows you're coming.

God, Dana and Chrissy are gonna lose their minds.

Friends from Iowa,

neighborhood girls who moved out here about a year ago.

What about you?

It's Dad! Dad is on TV!

-If I may, John. - Yes, sir.

Most of Los Angeles is built on former oil wells.

There was an explosion.
