I'm going to bring your mom back.

There's no way to get to her.

I'm not going to give up.

All of these promises-- look where we are.

Sierra--it's not a name.

It's a military call sign for a woman I used to work for.

Her real name-- it's Maya Schmidt.

She's the key to getting my wife back,

but she's here in 10,000 B.C.

That's Petra's mom.

Me and my mom didn't just leave that base.

We ran away.

Petra was worried that they'd come after her.

It must be from the base.

The clearing as we know it is gone.

I talked to Ty.

He said that we can regroup at the fort.

You were attacked by a raptor.

I tried to stop the bleeding.

It's an Aurora.

It goes to two different places.

We got to get her through the Aurora,

maybe get her to a hospital.

Josh, you're not going through!

- I can't lose her, too! - No!

Josh! Josh! Riley!

Ty!

Can you tell me what date it is?

It's September 12, 2021.

That's a few weeks before the sinkhole.

Unbelievable.

♪ This ain't the heartache

♪ That I thought I knew

♪ This ain't the party

♪ That I thought we'd do

♪ You got your limit, baby

Enjoy.

Oh, no, I didn't order a beer.

But you look like you need it.

You've been sitting here for hours, staring out the window,

eating literally everything on my menu.

It's just nice to eat something

you don't have to catch.

Anyway, thanks for the beer.

Mm, you're not getting away with it that easy.

What is it? Breakup?

It's a bit more complicated than that.

It's not something I can really explain.

Well, it's a slow afternoon, and I like that accent.

So try me.

Well, let's just say, um...

I used to live here, and I took a trip.

It wasn't my idea, but...

I gained a sense of purpose there...

made friends, found love.

The people I met on that journey,

they're stuck there.

And I'm here.

I don't know how to help them.

Sounds like a pretty big burden

you've put on your shoulders.

Maybe you need someone to help you carry it.

Figured you could use something to eat.

How you holding up?

I have no idea, not until I know if Riley's okay.

I know this hurts. I'm there, too, but...

maybe we should just calm down and make a plan.

If you have one, I'm all ears.

Okay, look, we both just want our kids back, right?

I figured the Aurora that Josh and Riley went through

maybe went to same place Eve did.

That's wishful thinking.

We have no idea where they are.

I might know someone who does--

Maya Schmidt.

Even if she can help us, we don't know how to find her.

Find the people who are hunting her.

They might have Maya at their base.

Look, a chopper from that base took Petra and Levi, okay?

Sam, let's track it.

Gavin, that Huey has a 200-mile range.

Good luck with that. - Sam, Sam, please, hey, Sam.

I need your help.

So does Riley.

I'm going to where I lost her.

If that Aurora comes back, I have to be there.

That Aurora is gone!

I know it's not much...

but it's better than what you got.

Now move, or we have a problem.

- Come on. - Move!

Ah!

This is not cool, man.

We just lost our home.

We should be reflecting and healing.

Instead, this Ruth lady has got us weeding the frickin' garden.

Dude, dude, shut it.

While Paara's gone, Ruth is in charge, okay?

I mean, we're lucky we have a home, all right?

This--this village is our life raft.

I mean, we should be thanking her.

But I'm not the only one with a bone to pick.

The locals say that Ruth likes to rule with an iron fist.

Hey, hey, keep your voice down, man.

And just stop complaining.

I don't know.

Be grateful, for once.

Hey. - Hey.

- How's my family doing? - We're good.

Yeah?

But you, you got that adorable worried-leader look

on your face.

- Oh, I got to look, do I? - Mm.

Is this is about Judah? - Yeah.

Yeah, him and everybody else bitching about our setup.

This is all new. They'll adapt.

Yeah, well, what if they don't?

I mean, think about it, right?

To the village, we're just a bunch of new mouths to feed.

And we--we don't have Ty or Paara to plead our case.

We actually have to step up, and we got to show our worth.

And--and I'm worried if we don't,

we're going to be bringing up our kid under a fern.

I'm serious.

We are going to raise our kid here.

Everyone will settle in soon.

And if Judah keeps complaining, I'll just kick his ass.

- Oh. - Mm-hmm.

Okay, now I kind of hope he does keep complaining,

'cause I would like to see that.

Something's wrong.

Hey, stay here. I'm going to check it out.

Sam, what happened to him?

Not sure.

I found him on my way out.

But the way he's lying there like this, it's not natural.

Joseph.

Why would you let a Sky Person examine

the body of one of our own?

The man said he's a doctor.

Sorry, Ruth, we meant no disrespect.

Sam was just trying to help.

Fine. Tell me what you think happened.

Given the transverse fracture and numerous contusions,

I'd say he fell, from somewhere high up.

This tree would be a strong candidate.

Mm-mm. Micah was a skilled warrior.

I don't believe he'd fall.

What exactly are you suggesting?

That someone pushed him.

Well, none of us would have done that.

Joseph.

He was on patrol, but I don't see any of his weapons.

We find those, maybe we'll learn more

about what happened to him.

Divide up, search the area.

You want to be of use?

Tell your people they can help with the search.

Honestly, I don't know how we're going to integrate

with these people.

Well, you could start by not saying "these people."

Oh. Point taken.

But, seriously, I have been in full-on charm-offensive mode

since we got here.

I've brought Ruth flowers every freakin' day.

I haven't even got a smile.

And now they think we might have killed one of their own.

We're different cultures. It's going to take time.

We just need to calm down.

Well, I'd feel a little calmer

if I hadn't heard that Ruth killed her husband.

What?

Oh. Oh, you didn't hear.

Yeah, word is, she stabbed him and threw him in a river.

Who does that?

Have you seen a husband anywhere?

How about we just keep our heads down

and do what we're asked?

Hey.

That could be the warrior's bow.

Look. Look at all this stuff.

What are you doing? - Getting a better perspective.

Look at that.

What the hell is going on?

The ouroboros--

the Ancient Greeks believed

that it symbolizes eternal return.

So maybe this marks the return of a killer?

Ah, I mean, on the other hand, other cultures view the spiral

as a winding journey, so maybe this

is a message announcing the start

of a terrible game or contest.

I think if someone's trying to send us a message,

there's an easier way than a crop circle.

Are we done playing conspiracy theory for the day?

- I know I am. - Hey. Hang on.

Where are you going? - To that Aurora--

where I should have been this whole time.

Sam, hold up!

Open the gate. I'm heading out.

Can't do that, Sam. No one leaves today.

According to who?

Ruth and the Leadership Council.

The gates are to stay closed

until we find who killed our warrior.

Look, I got no issue with your council,

but I got to get out there-- I'm trying to find my daughter.

I'd let you go, Sam,

but I don't want an issue with Ruth.

Get out of my way.

Hey!

Hey, hey, get off him!

Stop this now!

Hey, hey, we don't want any trouble.

That's not what it looks like.

Take them to the cell!

- What are you doing? - Izz, I'm sorry.

Hey, I'll fix it.

Don't lose your cool.

This job will test you in ways you can never imagine.

You're going to want to scream, yell, put your hair out.

But what's my advice? all: Don't lose your cool.

Exactly.

Okay, I'll see everyone tomorrow.

Bye.

Dr. Velez?

- Can I help you? - I hope so.

My name's Dr. Ty Coleman

and in the simplest of terms,

there are people who are in trouble,

but I believe you can help.

Well, hang on. Who's in trouble?

It's complicated.

And, honestly, it will be hard to believe,

but I can prove it's worth your time to listen.

This is a list of things that will happen

in the next 24 hours, things that haven't happened yet.

What--

what are you talking about?

There will be a mudslide on the PCH this afternoon,

a presidential assassination in the Middle East,

and Arsenal will score against Liverpool

in the 94th minute and go on to win 1-0.

Buddy, are you feeling all right?

I'll be waiting

at the Sand Dollar Bar later on today.

When you're ready to listen, I'll be ready to talk.

Impressive.

Good thing mammoths are big,

because that's about the only thing you're going to hit.

Thanks for the tip.

Okay.

Time for you to get back to pulling weeds.

I'm good here, thanks.

You can be good somewhere else.

That's my bow.

You can have it when I'm done.

You sure about that?

I'm a warrior.

And you clearly are not.

You don't even know my name,

and you're already insulting me.

That's not fair. - Haven't you figured it out?

Life's not fair.

See what I mean?

Leyla.

What are you doing?

Just welcoming her to our home.

Where I'm from, people usually start with "hello."

You want to learn the bow?

Yes.

Then let one of our best archers teach you--

my daughter.

Me?

It'll be good for both of you.

We need to set the example here.

Are we understood?

We are.

You don't get to hold that yet.

Show me your stance.

This is gonna to take a while.

Ruth, where do you want us to go?

- Station at the front gate. - Let's move.

Okay.

Ruth, hey. I heard what happened with Gavin and Sam.

Considering what's going on right now,

I don't think locking up our only two military guys

is such a great idea...

respectfully.

Do you know how many years we've gone

without an altercation amongst our own?

Two.

You've been here for two days, and we've already had a fight.

Why do you think that is?

Ruth, I'm sure they're sorry.

I asked you a question. What's your answer?

- I don't know. - I do.

In this place, we value community above all else.

That's why we avoid violent confrontation.

Your people are different.

You value the individual

and punch whatever gets in your way.

That's not how you build a society.

We haven't been a community as long as you guys have.

We're still learning, but we're trying.

Well, you better try harder.

Oh, my God.

What did this?

Archers to the East Wall! Go, now!

Everyone else in the huts! No one outside!

Uh, should I get a bow?

- You know how to shoot? - No, he doesn't.

Well, then get in a hut, now!

I got to find Veronica. - Oh, no.

Go.

Hey. Come with me.

- We got to move, Izzy. - Yeah, yeah.

- Go! - Let's go!

Go, go, go!

I don't see Izzy anywhere. Izzy!

Hey, open the door. Let us out.

Hey, open the door! Let us out!

Will you stop? You're not helping.

You've caused enough problems today.

Try not to make it worse.

I was trying to get back to my daughter.

Oh, yeah, and now I can't get to mine.

That turned out great, didn't it?

Aah!

I can't believe pterodactyls

used to be my favorite dinosaur.

Oh, God!

Izzy!

Okay, okay, we're good.

Oh, no!

No, no, no!

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

Hey!

It's gone. You can come out now.

Did you kill that thing?

Barely scratched it, but enough to scare it off.

- Did they all leave? - For now.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Veronica! Hey.

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

I was so worried about you.

Oh.

What is it?

I'll be--I'll be right back.

Ruth, we need to talk.

What is it?

I kept my opinions to myself

because I really want to make this work.

But you locked up two of our best fighters,

people who could have really helped today.

Seriously, Ruth, look around.

What do you think happens when those things come back?

My warriors can defend our home.

Apparently not.

You need our help, and you know it.

Those creatures may well return,

and the last thing we need is a dangerous distraction,

like you and your friends.

Is that what you think of us?

Today I had to deal with a public brawl,

another conflict involving my own daughter,

and now you questioning my authority in my own home,

which is not yet yours.

I'm just trying to help protect this place.

So am I...

which is why, as of this moment,

I am confining all refugees

from the Clearing to the Long House

until this crisis is over.

No, Ruth, you don't have to do that.

No, we can work something else out.

No, I have wasted enough time on this conversation.

Either your people go into the Long House,

or you can all leave our village.

Scott!

You okay, dude?

Uh... getting there.

Yeah, um...

there's something you need to see.

Come on.

It's the same type of spiral you found outside the fort,

isn't it?

When I was a kid, I literally read every dinosaur book

in the library,

and nobody ever discovered this.

But apparently pterodactyls make these spirals.

Okay.

But why would they do that here?

You know you're supposed to be in the Long House, right?

I'm good here, thanks.

Look, I get it-- you want to be a hero.

That's why you saved that kid.

It was pretty brave, but mostly stupid.

How? I saved her life.

No, I saved her.

You ran her into a hut that was being attacked by a dinosaur.

Look, I get that you have issues,

but don't take 'em out on me.

"Issues"?

I'm not the one taking out my anger on a hay bale.

You know what? Yeah, I have issues, okay?

I just lost my mother and my brother,

and today your mom locked up my dad.

Back home, I was as lost and confused as anyone else.

No one really understood me,

but at least I had people to talk to.

Here, all we have time to do is survive.

What do you care?

You still have to go to the Long House.

I told you--these people, they're out to get us.

- They're not out to get us. - They put us in a pen.

Those flying monsters come back,

we're an all-you-can- eat buffet.

We need to do something. - Yeah, we do.

But I don't have a plan right now, so just calm down.

Then what the hell did we elect you leader for?

Guys, I think I figured it out.

The reason the pterodactyls are making the spirals

is because they're nesting.

Hold on. Why do you think that they're nesting?

I knew those spirals looked familiar,

and then I remembered-- when I was a kid,

I saw leatherback turtles making shapes just like them.

Well, smaller, of course, but still...

when the turtle colonies nest,

they make spirals like these

that cover whole sections of the beach.

Okay, you think that these things

are turning the area around the fort into a nesting colony?

Exactly.

And they don't want to share their home.

Okay, so what can we do?

What wildlife biologists do all the time--

give them an alternative.

- I owe you an apology. - Ah, forget it.

Now, look, I don't give many of them.

But in this case, I really do owe you one.

I know what happened isn't what you wanted, okay?

I understand what you're going through.

I know what it's like to want to be there for your daughter

and you can't help her.

All I'm trying to do is fix things.

Well, maybe she doesn't want you to fix anything right now.

Riley...

She hated when I tried to fix her problems.

She said the best thing to do was just listen.

But I didn't.

I couldn't change.

Before I fell down that sinkhole,

I was a different guy.

I was stubborn.

I mean, if someone told me

something that wasn't in my worldview,

I shut it out.

It was easier that way.

But now I'm thinking everything would have been better

had I just taken Riley's advice.

I mean, if she was here...

I wanted to take her fishing,

'cause for years,

she'd asked me to teach her.

I never found the time.

I thought being stuck in 10,000 B.C.,

we'd have time.

Now we don't even have that.

Sam, I'm sorry.

How the hell did you know all this?

I promise, I will talk you through all of it,

step by step.

First, why don't we get you a drink?

Glenlivet 18, neat, right?

Enough with this fortune-teller crap.

Just tell me what this is about.

In three weeks, a giant sinkhole

will open near the La Brea Tar Pits

and swallow a chunk of midtown Los Angeles.

- A sinkhole? - Yes, but it's more than that.

It's a portal that will take people,

including you and me,

to the year 10,000 B.C...

- That's insane. - Yeah, we thought so, too.

But we came to see the truth.

I managed to escape,

but we have friends who are still down there.

I want to bring them back.

And you expect me to believe all that?

Yes, I do, because it's the truth.

It's impossible.

But I showed you the news reports.

I showed you the scores. - Oh, it's some kind of trick.

I know you're getting a divorce.

- What did you say? - I'm sorry.

I know this is a lot,

but I'm just trying to show you that this is real.

I know that your wife gave you divorce papers--

you probably have them on you right now,

and that you haven't told anyone about it.

I know that you have PTSD,

that you're secretly on medication.

I know you think Riley is in pre-med, but she quit.

She isn't going to tell you for weeks.

- Who the hell are you? - I'm your friend...

just like our many friends that we need to try and get back.

I can't do that on my own.

The only lead I have is a secret Air Force project,

and a woman named Maya Schmidt.

But I need help finding out more.

I need you.

I don't have anyone else to turn to.

There's no one else I trust.

I don't know what your game is,

but you stay away from me.

I never want to hear from you again.

Just give me a minute, okay?

Why aren't you in the Long House?

Because we have a way to stop the dinosaurs from attacking.

I put your people in there to stay out of our way,

and already you disobey me.

Look, I spoke out against you because I was afraid, okay?

I was worried about Veronica and our child

and everybody else here.

But I was wrong.

Ruth, I'm just trying to protect the people that I love.

I mean, you have a daughter, right?

Isn't that something you--you understand?

So what is the plan?

First thing we're going to need to do is,

we're going to need to let Gavin and Sam out of jail.

- We have been over this. - Yes, I realize that.

But you don't know these men like I do.

They've both lost family members in the last few days.

They're acting out of grief, and they want to help.

Please.

Don't worry. It's a simple two-part process.

The first part is building the new nest.

Which Sam and Veronica are on top of.

- And our part-- - Moving the egg?

Right.

And one of them, I believe, is buried

right under...

this mound of dirt.

Okay, let's start digging.

Come on.

And you believe you can convince

a 60-million-year-old dinosaur

it's just better off somewhere else?

Well, it's not like I met Mama out for coffee

and asked her about her dream home,

but, theoretically, it should work.

Don't think, just dig.

I never imagined myself holding a dino egg.

Why isn't there a camera when you need one?

Hey, we can make a TikTok later.

Put it in the bag, and let's go.

Come on, Scott, come on.

Okay, move.

Judah!

Work faster!

We need to be done with this spiral

before that egg gets here.

Motherhood's made you mean.

Oh, yeah?

If you don't keep working, I can get a lot meaner.

While the Sky People attempt to relocate the dinosaurs,

we need to protect our home.

Warriors, take positions.

Take this.

When you shoot, keep your back straight and your elbow high.

So you're training me now?

What you said about people not getting you--

they don't always get me either.

Want to learn the bow,

I'll teach you anything you want.

- Thanks. - As long as you don't die.

How much farther?

Whoa.

That's a Huey...

same type that took Levi and Petra.

It's got to belong to that base we're looking for.

Yeah.

We've been spotted.

Uh, new plan--hide.

Barrels twisted. Weapon's no use.

No weapons here either.

Okay, we're going to have to fight our way out.

Uh, with what?

Have you guys seen "Jurassic Park"?

We need something substantial.

Okay, if we have no offensive weapons,

maybe we deploy defensive ones...

set off some flares.

If we start this chopper, we can shoot them off.

Yeah!

Ha!

I guess we have some luck.

Or not.

Now that plan B's failed,

someone please tell me they've got a plan C.

We stick with plan B.

Whoa, whoa, didn't the chopper just fritz out?

But all we need is a spark to set off those flares.

- You want to hot-wire it. - Exactly.

We just need a battery that's still got some juice.

There should be one under the hood.

On it.

Okay, I need you to find me some wires.

I'm going to set up the flares.

Let's go try and scare off some dinosaurs.

Got it.

Scott.

Clear.

- Do we need anything else? - Oh, yeah.

Just some luck that this thing doesn't explode.

Now or never.

It worked.

- We should go. - We should go.

This is when we run, Scott. - Yep. Okay.

Better be finished making that nest!

We are.

Tell me a bunch of angry pterodactyls

aren't about to burst through those trees and kill us.

Not if we move quickly.

Come on.

Come on.

Good, good, good.

Here, here.

Sounds like our friends are on their way.

- We good, Scott? - Uh, yeah.

Come on!

- Come on, come on. - Go, go!

- Veronica? - Yeah.

Eat your heart out, Michael Crichton.

We're still at separate tables.

You'd think after we saved their asses,

they'd want to at least have a meal with us.

Hmm.

Maybe...

They think we need a shower.

Maybe they'll always be suspicious of outsiders.

It's not your fault, just--just human nature.

This is for you

for a job well done.

It's something very important to me, but...

I wanted to give it to you

as a token of my appreciation.

It's a rocket.

- How did you get this? - Yeah.

It was my grandfather's.

He was a Sky Person, like you,

from the 1960s.

He was one of the first outsiders

to join this community.

We're a lot more alike than you think.

Anyway...

thank you.

You're welcome.

What are you doing? It's not even my birthday.

Yeah, I, uh-- Listen...

I'm a terrible person.

I'm sorry.

You're forgiven.

So mint chocolate chip ice cream

is surprisingly hard to come by in 10,000 B.C.,

but these corn cakes--

well, apparently they're to die for.

You gonna make a wish?

So I was thinking that, uh,

tomorrow maybe you and I could go for a walk...

two of us.

You can, you know, tell me whatever you want to tell me.

I'd like that.

Okay.

Sam, hey, hold up.

I know you're going out there to get Riley back,

but there's something you got to see first.

I've been held up all day. I got to get moving.

Hey, hey, just a minute, just a minute.

I went back out to the chopper, and I got the tail number.

So what?

It's from Ladera Air Force Base.

Sam, that's in Los Angeles.

If it's in the same place it was up there,

then I can find it down here.

It could help bring Riley back.

Hey, you told me earlier you're a different man now,

that you knew how to listen when it mattered.

Prove it.

If we go to that base, maybe we find Maya Schmidt.

Maybe she has the answers we need.

All right, I'm in.

Good.

Hey. So I spoke to Riley about her pre-med program.

She denied it at first, but you were right.

She dropped out, just like you said.

I also had a military buddy of mine look into that woman

that you mentioned-- Maya Schmidt.

He found a connection between her

and a top-secret military program on quantum physics

being run out of Ladera Air Force Base.

Can I make the assumption you believe me now?

Let's just say, at the very least,

you've got my attention.

I'm very grateful to have it.

Now that I do, what would you say is next?

I think we need to find someone

who knows more about that program.

I think I know exactly who we can talk to.

Who the hell are you two?

Why'd you bail me out?

Perhaps we can discuss that over a coffee.
