.
You had PTSD.
- So I started taking something for it.
This morning I lost my last pill.
Damn it!
Sure about this, Sam?
- She's a threat to everyone here,
- especially Lilly. - Let me out of here!
Go save them.
- That's not gonna happen. - This is private property
so I hope you have a warrant.
What about my family?
- There's another way to save them.
Go back to the beginning, Gavin.
Looks like a sinkhole.
I'm in that place.
I don't think the things I've been seeing are visions.
They're memories.
- It's your last warning, Rebecca.
Let him go.
- [screams] - Oh, my God.
- The boy, you need to find him.
Isiah is Gavin
and he needs your help.
- What do you mean Isiah needs my help?
Everything depends on it.
You have to find him.
You have to get him to Topanga.
[coughing violently]
Hold on.
I'll be right back.
She needs you. Hurry, hurry.
We need to get Sam here right now. She needs a doctor.
- I'll go but what happened? What did Aldridge say?
We need to find Isiah.
Dad, I don't understand.
How could you be from that world?
- I must have come through the sinkhole when I was a kid.
I--I wasn't alone.
You think Ella was with you.
We were found together,
less than a mile from here.
- You've got two seconds to get the hell off my property
or I'm calling the police.
- Ella. - Who are you?
Why have you been following me?
My name is Gavin Harris.
This is my daughter, Izzy.
This is Dr. Sophia Nathan.
We can explain everything.
Please, we need your help.
With what?
- I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but somehow,
I think you're the key to saving my family.
[cow moos]
No...way.
[cow moos]
Hope you're all hungry.
- [groans] Again with the mushrooms?
- Hey, until they get back from the fort with other options,
this is all we got so
- eat up, Mr. Juice Cleanse. - Yeah, very funny.
- Hey, guys, you're never gonna believe this
but I just saw a cow in the woods.
Okay.
- Cattle, along with Christianity and smallpox,
came here with the Europeans,
specifically the Spanish
in the 16th century.
Okay, what I'm trying to say is that
there were no cows in North America in 10,000 B.C.
- Scott. - Yeah.
- Buddy, were you--
- Don't make this about the weed.
The cow was there.
- I believe you. - Thank you, Lilly.
Say there was a cow.
Who cares?
- Uh, cows make milk. It could help us.
- If it wasn't already eaten by a saber tooth.
- You know, you don't really take good news very well.
Has anyone ever told you that?
[Jeep rumbles]
Levi.
What's going on? Where's Mom?
- She's back at the village with Ty.
They're fine but someone else is injured.
Who?
It's a lot to explain.
Where's your dad? I need his help.
- Are you sure you're up for this?
Riley, I'm fine.
- Dad, you just got off your meds.
You're gonna start going through withdrawal.
Someone's hurt. They need me.
All right.
Then you won't mind if I come along.
Riley.
- Consider it on the job training.
After everything that's happened down here,
let's just say I'm... reconsidering med school.
Really?
Yeah.
Also, I'm not taking no for an answer.
We should get going.
We're ready.
I know something's going on.
What aren't you telling me?
- You should come back to the village.
You need to talk to your mom.
- Any sign of Silas and Isiah? - No, nothing.
- Your people are still out there looking.
Maybe they'll have better luck.
- How's Aldridge? - She's unconscious.
I've done everything I can
but if your doctor doesn't arrive soon,
I don't know if she'll survive.
Eve, are you okay?
Well,
that woman just told me that Isiah grows up
to be my husband so no, not really.
And you believe her?
- Honestly, I don't-- I don't know what to believe.
- Silas stabs Aldridge and then takes off with Isiah.
Why would he do that if there wasn't something else going on?
- What more can you tell us about Isiah and Silas?
Where did they come from?
- They joined our village a few years ago.
Silas said they fell through another sinkhole.
That the boy's parents didn't survive the fall.
We had no reason not to believe him
so we took them in.
But it seems there's more to him than we knew.
Unbelievable.
Sam, thank God you're here.
- I'm the doctor. Where is she? - This way.
- Josh, what are you doing here?
- Uncle Levi thought I should come.
- He needs to hear what Aldridge told you.
If there's even a chance she's right,
he should know.
Mom, this is insane.
How the hell could that kid be Dad?
- I'm just telling you what she told me.
- Well obviously, she's wrong.
Hold up. You don't actually believe her, do you?
- I don't know. It's just-- - It's just what?
There's something about him.
His eyes and--and his smile.
- Mom. - Your dad doesn't have
any memories from childhood.
And he was the same age Isiah is now when he was adopted.
And I'm not saying I believe it.
I'm just trying-- I'm trying to understand it.
- Hey. She had blood in her lungs,
but Sam was able to drain it.
She's going to be okay.
Come on, she's awake.
- Have you found Isiah? - Not yet.
Our people are still searching.
Okay.
All right, so...
when you said Isiah is Gavin--
- I understand why you wouldn't believe me
but it's true.
How is it possible?
Gavin was born in this world.
He came to ours through a sinkhole
in Topanga in 1988.
- That's where your dad was adopted.
- There's a portal on top of a mountain in Topanga.
It's open right now and it leads to 1988.
You have to get Isiah through it.
I was gonna do it myself until Silas stopped me.
How do you know all of this?
It doesn't matter.
The only thing that does
is finding him and getting him through the light.
It's on the highest peak in the area.
No way.
I don't trust her.
- Neither did Gavin and Izzy at first.
- Wait, you were with them? - Yes.
Before I came down here,
we were trying to rescue you.
Are they okay?
For now.
- What does that mean, "for now?"
- If Isiah doesn't make it to 1988,
you and Gavin will never meet.
Josh and Izzy will never be born.
You don't have much time.
The light is gonna close.
- When? - Tomorrow.
- So we're just supposed to send Isiah alone?
He'll be fine.
You already know how it turns out.
Mom, come on, this is crazy.
- Josh, you may not believe me now,
but when the light starts to close, you will.
You're gonna begin to get sick.
Izzy will too.
The more it closes, the worse it'll be.
What are you saying?
- If you don't get Isiah through the light in time,
your children will die.
.
- So this is your parents' house?
Yes, my adoptive parents.
I grew up here.
- And you never noticed a sinkhole in your backyard?
Of course we did.
It was filled in not that long after I was adopted.
Look, I'm sorry about what happened to your family,
but what you're saying,
that we came through that sinkhole,
that we're from the past, it can't be true.
- I understand what you're feeling,
but I'm telling you it is.
Have you seen this woman before?
- No. - Her name is Rebecca Aldridge.
She's the one who led us to you.
- She said there's another way to get to my family
and I think somehow, you might know what it is.
- [kettle whistling] - I'm sorry.
I wish I could help, but I don't know anything.
- Ella, hey, I was found on the road not far from here.
I was with a little girl.
Records at CPS said it was you.
[windchimes tinkling]
Do you remember anything before you were adopted?
No.
My parents told me
a reverend discovered me nearby.
When CPS couldn't place me, they took me in,
but they never said anything about you.
Well, I was there.
And that's not the only thing we have in common.
Your drawings, the hand prints,
I've seen that before.
What do you mean?
I have these flashes
of that place in the past.
You have them too, don't you?
For the last week.
- Did they start the day the La Brea sinkhole opened?
How do you know that?
- Because the same thing happened to me.
Only mine started when I was
flying over a sinkhole in the Mojave.
I think somehow the sinkholes trigger our memories--
Stop.
Please.
I appreciate you trying to explain this to me,
but I have a life.
I have an art show in a week. I don't have time for this.
I just want to put this behind me.
- Ella-- - Please, you need to go.
Thank you for your time.
- Josh, hold on. - Just give me a second.
- It's gonna be fine. Just don't freak out.
That's easy for you to say.
You're not the one that's gonna,
I don't know, cease to exist.
- We're not gonna let that happen.
- Say there's a 1% chance that all this is true.
The only way to stop it from happening
is to find the kid and the kid is gone.
So we'll find him.
Whatever it takes, Josh,
I'm gonna keep you and your sister safe.
Come on. We should get going.
Silas knows these woods.
He could be anywhere. We need to split up.
So you're gonna help us?
- I trusted Silas and he lied to me.
If your children's lives and Isiah's future generations
depend on stopping him, I'm going to help.
- We've got the Jeep. We can cover more ground that way.
- All right. Josh and I will go with you.
- Paara and I will search on foot.
- We should keep an eye on Aldridge.
She's not out of the woods yet.
Okay. Hey.
You're not gonna die, okay?
Not when you're finally starting to grow on me.
Let's go.
I wanna go home.
We need to stay here for now.
It's the only way to keep you safe.
Why did you hurt that woman?
I had no choice.
I'm trying to protect you.
You understand that, don't you?
You're the only family I have.
I won't let anyone take you away from me.
She said my name is Gavin.
That woman is sick.
- She thinks you're someone else. - Who?
It doesn't matter!
You must be hungry. Saw some blueberries outside.
They're still your favorite, aren't they?
Be back soon.
- Tic-tac-toe.
- Would you believe me if I told you I was letting you win?
- No. - Hmm.
You wanna talk to her?
Go ahead.
I'll be watching.
- You have permission to talk to me?
- I just wanted to see if you're okay.
No, I'm not.
We can't stay here.
I told you, I'm not leaving.
Everyone knows what I did.
Don't you see how they look at me?
- I know you're a good person, Veronica.
Give them some time.
They'll see it too.
No, they won't.
Then change their minds.
We don't have to be alone anymore.
Aaron's gone.
We can start over.
- Can I get everyone's attention?
I know you all think of me as the stoner,
which is an antiquated term,
and none of you believe the things that I say.
Well today, I'm gonna prove you wrong.
There is a cow out there.
And together, we can find it.
We can bring it back.
We can reap the rewards
Mother Nature has bestowed upon this regal animal.
It will give us milk, and cheese,
and ice cream!
So who's coming with me?
[crowd murmuring]
Wait--okay, show of hands.
[crowd murmuring]
Anybody?
- Happy hunting, Scott. - Oh.
Guess I'll go by myself.
Let me move those branches.
- Hey, how you doing back there?
- I was just thinking about a week ago.
When getting into college
seemed like the most stressful thing that could ever happen.
Now my life depends on some kid
who might be Dad.
Eve, Josh.
What's up?
Look, smoke.
Yeah, let's check it out.
There's no one here.
Yeah, not now.
Fire looks like it was just put out.
- We don't even know if it was them.
Yes, we do.
I saw Silas carrying this earlier.
Maybe they're still close by.
Look.
These tracks.
Looks like they went that way.
It's too rocky to drive. We should follow on foot.
Josh, grab the Jeep. Meet us on the other side.
You got it.
Mom, go. I'll be fine.
[breathing heavily]
[saber tooth snarling]
Oh, no.
[saber tooth snarling]
[breathing heavily]
[saber tooth growls]
[saber tooth roars]
[rumbling and crashing]
[breathing heavily]
.
It's okay.
It's me, Josh.
Remember me? We met at the clearing.
What are you doing here?
- Looking for you. You need to come with me.
I wanna go home.
Why are you looking at me like that?
- Sorry, I'm just... making sure you're okay.
I am.
Isiah, you okay?
- Uh, we're fine. - What the hell happened?
We heard the crash from across the hill.
He saved me.
Oh, your wrist.
Levi, get me the first aid kit.
Mom, that cut.
It's in the exact same spot.
I know.
We should leave.
There could be more saber tooths
and Silas is gonna come looking for him.
- That Jeep's not gonna drive. We'll have to walk.
Isiah, we have to go.
- What? No, I wanna go back to my village.
- I can't take you there right now, okay?
But I'm gonna take you somewhere safe.
We gotta get moving.
Will you come with me?
Here, little cow.
I know you're out here somewhere.
Scott?
Uh, what are you doing here?
Um, you said you needed help.
And you want to do that?
You helped me once.
Thought I could return the favor.
Actually, I'm okay on my own.
- But you just made that big speech.
Right, right.
But I was kinda, you know,
being dramatic.
It's fine, really. Thanks though.
- You need to look for low grass.
That's what they like to eat.
How do you know that?
I grew up on a farm in Texas.
You're not going to find that cow without me.
Why are you really out here?
- They all think you're just a pothead,
but...sometimes people are judged too quickly
and I don't think that's fair.
Thanks.
I guess.
So let's prove 'em wrong.
These are Silas's tracks
and he's not alone.
At least four people.
Four?
They were headed north.
Ty, your nose.
Oh.
- Sit down. - I'm sorry.
Tilt your head back.
[sighs]
This happens on occasion.
The truth is...
I'm ill.
You're dying?
Yeah.
The universe doesn't like me to forget I'm on borrowed time.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
- Looks like the bleeding stopped.
- You know, I'm usually the one looking after people.
Thank you.
I wasn't expecting that.
Neither was I.
We should keep going.
- Topanga is about 10 miles northwest of here.
We should make it by the end of the day.
Where are you taking me?
- Somewhere safe, like my mom said.
- My grandfather will be worried about me.
I don't think I should've left.
- Why did you? - I didn't like what he did.
He hurt someone.
- I know, but she's going to be okay.
- He said he was trying to protect me.
My mom says that a lot.
What about your dad?
Does he protect you too?
He tried to
but...he wasn't always there for me...
or my mom.
They seem okay now.
Oh, no, Levi isn't my dad.
Oh, sorry.
Why would you say that?
- Because I saw them holding hands
when I was at your clearing.
- I still can't believe he's actually Gavin.
- Trying to wrap my mind around it.
What are you gonna tell him?
I haven't figured it out yet.
I mean, what we're asking him to do, to--
to leave his home and to travel through a portal
to a place he doesn't know, It's a lot to ask.
What other choice do we have?
Hey, Isiah, I need to talk to you.
Should we come sit?
Okay.
- You know how you call us The Sky People?
Truth is,
you're one of us and...
and you're not supposed to stay here.
You're supposed to grow up where I come from.
What do you mean?
[sighs]
Well, there's a light in the sky
that's not too far from here
and it leads to a different time
and we need you to go through it.
- I have to leave my home? - I know it's scary
and it's--it's really hard to understand,
but I know every single thing
that's gonna happen to you there.
And it's--it's gonna be great.
- I don't want to. - I know.
But you have to. - No!
This way. Come on.
- Someone's coming. - Come on. Come on.
Pick it up.
- I thought Paara's people were supposed to be helping us.
- I guess Silas still has a few loyal friends.
We gotta get moving.
- So what now? Ella didn't believe anything we said.
Can you blame her?
I'm still trying to process the fact
that you're from 10,000 B.C.
- Crazy as it is, it's kind of a relief.
What do you mean?
- I never knew where I came from,
why I see these things.
Now I do.
We just have to find a way to convince Ella
what we're saying is true.
- I mean, I didn't believe you until you dug up mom's ring
so maybe we need some kind of proof.
Where would we find that?
Aldridge's dig site.
A lot of Ella's drawings
seem to be things from the clearing.
If we could find an artifact she drew,
maybe we could convince her it's real.
- So basically, I gave you the idea.
- I'm guessing Markman has people guarding the dig site?
As far as I know.
- There another way to get inside?
I'm going in. You two stay here.
Be careful.
[phone buzzing]
- Fuse must have blown. Let's check it out.
Whatcha got there?
Mm, no idea.
One of the kids gave it to me.
But whatever it is, it's amazing.
- How's she doing? - Stable,
which means you and I should get going soon.
- Not till you've eaten something.
- [sighs] It's not mushroom, is it?
Definitely not.
So how are you feeling?
Up and down.
One minute, smooth sailing. Next, it's a wave of anxiety.
But I'm getting through it.
And what about you?
I know you're worried about Josh.
I haven't seen you look at a guy like that since--
what's his name?
Really, Dad?
You know his name.
Kyle. Ugh.
He was no good for you.
I'm aware.
That's why I kicked him to the curb.
- If Aldridge is right about all this
and that's one big "if,"
it means there's a light that leads to 1988.
If there's a way to '88,
I figured there's also gotta be a way back home
to Mom and Andrew.
I say we stay until we find it.
- I was gonna say the same thing.
Where is it, Silas?
Hey, what are you doing up?
- I have to go back to your clearing.
- It's not a good idea. You need to rest.
- Come on, we'll take you back up.
No, I can't stay here.
- What's so important at the clearing?
- You care about your friend, Josh, don't you?
Yes.
- Everything I'm doing is to make sure he lives.
Please, we have to go.
Now.
- You know the men who are with your grandfather?
- Yes. They'll do whatever he says.
- It's all right. We just gotta keep moving.
[rocks clattering]
What are we gonna do?
- Doesn't look like there's another way around.
- There's a bridge not far from here.
My people cross it to trade with other villages.
Where is it?
- Just beyond those trees. - Well, hold on.
If he knows about it, then his grandfather does.
- Yeah, then we better get there first.
Come on.
There it is.
- All right, Eve, Isiah, you go first.
I'll be right behind you.
[ropes creaking]
- Okay, we're good. Come on over.
All right Josh, you're up.
- Don't move. - Josh!
Drop your weapon.
All I want is my grandson.
Send him over and I'll let 'em go.
Do it now or I'll kill 'em both.
Please don't.
[ropes whooshing]
No!
The ravine ends four miles east of here.
Bring Isiah there
or you'll never see them again.
.
Okay, so we've got low grass
but we've got no cow.
Fantastic.
- Do you wanna go back? - [snorts]
I am many things
but a quitter is not one of them.
Hey, about earlier,
the car and all.
I don't think they should've done that to you.
It wasn't cool.
- You don't think I deserved it?
No. From what I heard,
you were kidnapped just like Lilly.
Which you probably don't wanna talk about.
- I've never talked about it with anyone besides Lilly.
What happened?
- I ran away from home when I was 14.
My mom was never around.
My stepdad and I fought all the time
so I--I just left.
- That's young for you to be out on your own like that.
- I guess I thought anything was better than staying.
Where did you go?
Hitched around for a while.
Ended up in Los Angeles.
I was living on the streets when Aaron took me.
He said he was trying to help.
It was just the two of us for a few years.
Until you took Lilly?
- Aaron told me that God had a plan for all of us.
By that time, I-- I believed him.
And now?
- I don't know what to believe anymore.
Thanks for listening.
- No worries. [cow lowing]
Did you hear that?
[astonished laughter]
[cow mooing]
Nice to see you too.
It's okay, Eve.
We'll go back to my grandfather.
He'll keep his word. Josh and Levi will be fine.
- It's not that simple. - Why?
- Because as soon as that light starts to close,
my kids will become very sick.
And if you don't make it through,
they're gonna die.
Eve.
- Paara. - Isiah.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Where are Josh and Levi?
Don't worry.
I'll figure out a way to get us out of here.
- In case you haven't noticed, these guys are all armed.
- We'll be all right. Your mom and Isiah will be too.
I won't let anything happen to her.
No, you wouldn't, would you?
What's that supposed to mean?
I know about you and my mom.
Josh, I'm sorry.
How could you?
- It was a tough time for your mom and dad
but that's over now.
- Wait, what do you mean it's over?
I thought it started down here.
How long has this been going on for?
A few months
but we ended it last year.
I can't believe this.
I mean, my mom, I get her side of things.
When she needed my dad, he wasn't there.
You, he was your best friend.
- Look, you have every right to be upset.
You do.
But right now, we need to put all that aside
so we can get out of this.
You understand?
Holy crap, you were right.
- Indeed. [cow moos]
And I believe the more appropriate
expression is "holy cow." [laughs]
You saved her.
I did, with Veronica's help.
Really?
Absolutely.
Couldn't have done it without her.
[high-pitched ringing]
- As soon as that light starts to close,
my kids will become very sick.
And if you don't make it through,
they're gonna die.
- Dad, what's wrong? What'd you see?
I'm with Mom.
Everything's fine.
Come on.
[knocking on door]
- I already told you-- - I know
but there's something I need to show you.
Just give me a few minutes.
If you still don't believe me, we'll leave.
We'll never come back.
Where did you get this?
- From an archeological dig site.
It dates back to 10,000 B.C.
Ella, you drew it
because you were there.
[high-pitched ringing]
I remember now.
Oh, my God.
What is it?
You were right.
I saw this rock in that world.
What are you doing?
- And someone called me by a different name.
What was it?
Lilly.
.
- If I don't give him Isiah back,
he's gonna kill Josh and Levi.
- We won't let that happen. - Is there anyone
in your village who can help us?
Silas has many friends.
I'm not sure who I can trust right now.
- The clearing. We can go back. We can get help.
- No, no one's gonna wanna help me.
I'm the reason we're all stuck down here, remember?
- No, you are the reason we are still alive.
I'll make sure they know that.
- That sounds great, Ty, but I can't count on it.
- Eve, you cannot do this on your own.
We'll be back as soon as we can.
Just promise me you'll wait for us.
Okay.
Everyone, gather around.
Easy. Easy.
Who's this?
This is Dr. Rebecca Aldridge.
She came down here during a second rescue attempt.
- Unfortunately, the mission didn't go as planned.
I was the only one who made it through
but there is hope.
- Looks like there's another portal.
This one's in Topanga
and it leads back to the year 1988.
- 1988? - What?
We came down in 2021
so how is there something opened in 1988?
- You think of time as moving in one direction,
the past to the present.
But the truth is time is more like a circle.
Everything's happening at once.
You lost me.
- The point is this portal is a way out of here.
Okay, say it's true.
1988 is over 30 years off target.
- And how would we get through the light?
- Don't we need a plane? - No.
The light's on top of a mountain.
You can walk through it.
- I know this is a lot to think about,
but you have to decide quick.
The light's closing tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
- This is insane. - I'm in.
[crowd murmuring]
Here, have some of this.
I can talk to my grandfather.
Tell him to let them go.
- You're very brave, you know that?
But he won't agree to that.
Ty and Paara will be here soon with help.
We just need to wait.
What about you two?
Thinking about going back to 1988?
- Took me almost 20 years to tell my father I was gay.
Going back to a time when so many people had to hide
who they really were,
I don't think I'm really interested in that.
- But they do have electricity and Pizza Hut
and most importantly, LensCrafters.
I say we take our chances.
So are you gonna go to 1988?
Well, it would be cool
to see "Die Hard" in the movie theater,
but I haven't given up on getting home.
Plus, this place is full of mysteries
and I don't think I can leave
without at least solving one or two of them.
What about you?
I've been thinking
maybe what I need is a fresh start.
This could be my chance.
Good luck, Veronica.
Thank you.
- Yeah, there's definitely more mysteries to solve.
Hello, Lilly.
How do you know my name?
Do you mind if I sit down?
This is for you.
There's something very important I need you to do.
Everything okay?
- I need you to take me to Topanga.
And we have to leave now.
- I was wearing this when I was found.
My parents kept everything from that day.
They thought it may help me remember.
It never made any sense to me.
Until now.
- What is that? - It's a map.
That woman you showed me a picture of earlier,
I had another memory of her giving it to me.
She said I had to go to Topanga
and bring it to a boy named Isiah.
Oh, my God.
They're sinkhole locations. Look at this.
Topanga, Mojave, La Brea,
Seattle.
Dad,
all the dates match perfectly.
- Yeah. And according to this map,
the one in Seattle is gonna open tomorrow.
Where are they, Eve?
They should be here by now.
Listen to me.
Whatever happens to me,
you get yourself up that mountain, okay?
What are you gonna do?
Just stay hidden.
When Ty and Paara get here,
they're gonna help you, okay?
- No, Eve, wait, you shouldn't go alone.
I don't have a choice.
I have to save my son.
