- You want to learn the bow?

Then let one of our best archers

teach you, my daughter.

- The day we fell down here,
I was actually on my way

to a job interview.

This is their business card.

- I went back out
to the chopper,

and I got the tail number.

It's from Ladera Air Force Base.

That's in Los Angeles.

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

then I can find it down here.

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

She could help bring
our families back.

- When are you going
to give this up, Gavin?

You don't pull
yourself together,

you're going to
lose your family.

- Don't you think I know that?

- About a year before we got
down here, me and my wife,

we were going
through a tough time,

I have a brain tumor.

Since I was diagnosed, I
just pushed my wife away.

She would always tell me
I never put her first,

and she was right.

- Can you tell me
what date it is?

- September 12, 2021.

- Unbelievable.

- I found a connection
between Maya Schmidt

and the top secret
military program being run

out of Ladera Air Force Base.

I think we need to find someone

who knows more
about that program.

- I know exactly
who we can talk to.

- Who the hell are you two?

Why did you bail me out?

- It's a lot to take in.

- I know.

But I truly believe
the three of us

can help to bring everyone home.

- If what you're saying is true,

shouldn't we be
warning our families,

warning everyone we know?

- That sinkhole
won't open for weeks.

Right now, we need your help.

- I'm sorry.

I don't know how
I can help anyone.

- I just time traveled
to 2021 from the Ice Age,

and you worked on a
classified project

at Ladera Air Base
studying quantum physics.

I believe there's
a connection there.

- Look, maybe Ladera has the
answers we're looking for.

Can you get us on that base?

- No.

I've been to Ladera
a thousand times.

I don't remember anything
about a secret project, OK?

- I can't explain the
gaps in your memory yet.

And I understand why
this is frightening.

But if you explore this with
us, it will be worth it.

The lives of the people
you love depend on this.

- I have to go to the bathroom.

- Sure about him?

- I'm sure about
the man that I knew.

But this Gavin, he's
hiding in a bottle.

His memory loss, that
separation from his family,

not to mention what a trauma
he endured on this project,

it's all things he's
trying to suppress,

and we're asking him to
do the exact opposite.

- What do you think
he's going to do?

- Either our entreaty will help
pull him out of his tailspin

or it will push him
further into it.

- I'm going to check on him.

He's not there.

Do you see him?

- No.

- Well, I guess we know
which way he chose.

- One thing I
learned as a pilot is

memorize the terrain you fly.

I used to make a milk run to
Ladera Air Base every week.

This is a map to the base.

- The terrain is going to look
a lot different in 10,000 BC.

- Not the mountains.

That's Santiago Peak.

You can see it from the fort.

Pilots use it as a
navigation marker.

Ladera Air Base is 15
miles west, right there.

- And you really think
Maya Schmidt will be there?

- Look, they already
captured her daughter.

Maybe they've got her, too.

Sam, this is our best
shot at finding out

what Maya knows about Eve,
Josh, and Riley, all of it.

- So what's the
rescue plan, fellas?

Levi and Petra are
also on that base.

- There's no rescue plan today.

- No, this is just for recon.

We'll bring them back next time.

- OK, yeah.

Stay safe out there, all right?

- Yeah.

- You've been pretty damn quiet.

Everything OK?

- Yeah, fine.

Just keep moving.

- Yeah, that's not
going to work for me.

We're approaching
enemy territory.

I need you watching my back.

So if you're not 100%
right now, I got to know.

- OK, the closer we
get to this base,

the more I get the
feeling we're in danger.

- Well, we knew that
much when we started.

- I know.

It's different, like there's
something I should remember

about this place, but I can't.

- There's another
hole in your memory?

- I just don't know what
I'm trying to remember.

All I know is
everything is telling me

we should turn back,
and I don't know why.

- One of the ways I
survived Afghanistan

was trusting gut instincts,
and not just my own.

We don't take
another step until we

figure out what's going on.

- Stay still.

- Or we run.

Don't move.

We're in the middle
of a minefield.

- Look for tripwires,
cracks in the ground,

places plants don't grow.

- People from the base
must've laid these mines.

Hey, see those rocks over there?

Maybe there's a path out here.

- I don't trust that right now.

- Sam, chopper.

Coming in fast.

- Guess we don't have a choice.

- Ready to run?

- Yeah.

I can't believe that worked.

- Do not move.

- I just finished
sweeping the area.

Still no sign of him.

Maybe we try his home?

- No, no, Gavin's already moved
out of the house at this point.

He is in the depths
of his alcoholism.

Given that and how he left,

I'd say he's probably
at the nearest bar.

- There's a half a dozen
of them around here.

How about I take these three?

Are you OK there?
- Yeah.

You've been checking
your watch all morning.

- Look, it's just, seeing
Gavin like this, it reminds me

of the dark place I was in
my life right about now.

- I get it.

But right now, we
need to find Gavin.

- No, you're right.

- I'll take these three bars.

You get the rest.

- OK.

- Yeah, I understand.

Thank you.

- Sophie.

- Ty.

What are you... what
are you doing here?

- I thought you could
use someone to talk to.

That was your editor, wasn't it?

- Why the hell are you here?

- Look, I just...
- The divorce is final.

You made it clear you
wanted to be on your own,

and frankly, I don't want to
be anywhere near you, so...

oh.

I don't need you
to therapize me.

- I won't.

I am just here as your friend.

- A friend, huh?

- I was cruel to
you for too long.

I pushed you away
when I shouldn't have.

The cancer made me...

- It is far too late
to try and make amends.

- I realize that, I do.

But it's not too late for
me to try and help you.

- See, I'd say you're wrong

because I failed
at being a lawyer.

I failed at our marriage.

I'm clearly failing at being a
writer, which you've said all

along was a waste of my time.

- No, Sophie,

I just said those things to
take my anger out on you.

Your book is good.

- Now, what part of, I
don't want to talk to you,

don't you understand?

- Soph, wait, please.

Tonight, you're going
to make a mistake,

one that you can't undo,
unless you make a change.

- Mistakes are the
only thing I'm good at.

- Sophie.

- Look at you.

This is like a
romance novel cover,

which means I'm in a tawdry
tryst with the stable boy.

How naughty.

- Get your fantasizing
in while you can.

With any luck, I'm not going
to be a stable boy much longer.

Mm.

- So there's an open seat
in the leadership council.

Apparently one of
the members got hurt

during the pterodactyl attack.

But I'm thinking
about asking Ruth

to put my hat in the ring.

- I feel like we just started
making inroads with her.

You really think now's
the time to push?

- Oh, it's got to be now.

- Why?

- We need someone from the
clearing on the council

to be advocating our position.

Our life is here now, and we
need to take control of it.

- Oh, it's on.

We are getting you
on that council.

- Damn right we are.

- Trespassers apprehended.

Standing by at rendezvous point.

- Sam.

Is it an animal?

- I think someone
else is out there.

- Sam, what's happening?

- We need to get moving.

More of them are coming.

- Hey, I appreciate the help,
but we're not going anywhere

until you tell us who you are.

- Oh, my God.

- Sam, I think we
should go with her.

- Why would we do that?

- Because that's Maya Schmidt.

- Over there.

We'll be safe until
the patrols pass.

- Why were you out
there in the woods?

- I'm trying to
find my daughter.

- You mean Petra?

- You've seen her?

Where is she?

- Those people came for
her and took her away.

- Where?

- Listen, we'll help
you find Petra, OK?

But I need to ask you
some questions first.

I got a message saying you
were the key to helping

me find my wife, Eve.

You know where she is?

- Gavin, I have no idea.

I didn't know your
wife was missing.

- No, no, no, no, no.

I was very specifically
given your call sign.

I need to know why.

Hey, why would
someone tell me that?

- I'm sorry. I don't
know what to say.

- Hold on.

Let's start from the beginning.

This classified program
you two worked on together,

what was it about?

- Right.

- Well given that we're
standing in 10,000 BC,

I don't think it'll
come as a great shock

when I tell you that the
government was conducting

time travel experiments
at the Ladera Air Base,

and you and a handful of pilots

were at the center of
testing that technology.

- What was the objective?

- Weaponization.

Imagine your unit was
bombed, a tragedy.

But what if he
could send a plane

playing back in time
and destroy the enemy

before they attacked?

It would change war forever.

- What you're
saying is on a level

with breaking the sound barrier
or building the atom bomb.

I should remember that.
- You should.

But it was my job to
make sure you didn't.

The program valued
secrecy above all else.

Once an asset's
work was complete,

I was tasked with
making sure they didn't

remember any part of it.

- How?

- Over the years, we've
perfected a biological cocktail

that induces
targeted memory loss.

- I have a year of my life
that I can't remember.

- I am truly sorry.

- That's not good enough!
- Hey, hey.

- You're right.

I know that now.

I know that firsthand.

- Firsthand?

What does that mean?

- I was going to
become a whistleblower,

expose the project.

But before I could,
I was caught.

Petra and I were locked up and
brought here, but we escaped.

We ran, but we got separated.

- It doesn't make any sense.

Why would someone tell me
that you could find Eve, huh?

- Maybe it's about
something I made you forget.

There could be a
way to find out.

- You're saying there's a way
to bring back my memories?

- I'm saying I can try.

- Thanks for coming
with me on the hunt.

So what do you miss most
about where you're from?

- I miss mint chip ice cream.

Imagine a combination of
snow, cream, and sugar.

- Sometimes I feel like the
world is this huge place,

and I know absolutely
nothing about it.

- I feel that way all the time.

After my accident,
I was told there was

a lot of things I couldn't do.

Not by my mom.

You know what she would
say about those people?

Screw them.

- I wish my mom was like that.

- What does your mom think
of you being a warrior?

- She hates it.

She wants me training
to be on the council.

But you know what I'm going to
say about her rules next time

she brings them up?

Screw them.

- She's going to love that.

What's wrong?

- This is where the hunting
party was supposed to gather,

but they didn't wait.

It doesn't matter.

We're going to
find our own boar.

- Hold on.

You said these boars
were dangerous.

Are you sure it's
safe with just us?

- We'll be fine.

- So what if we don't
get our own boar?

You don't have to
prove anything.

- Watch out!

- Leyla?

Leyla?
- Down here.

- Leyla?

- Can you get out?

- It's a tar pit.

I can't move.

- Stop.

Struggling is only going
to make you sink faster.

- What am I supposed to do?

You're not strong enough
to get me out yourself.

Go back to the
fort and get help.

Izzy, you're not going to pull
me out with a dead branch.

- There's boars all
over here, right?

And saber-tooths, and dinosaurs
and who knows what else.

- So leave me my bow.

- You taught me, you can't
fire without leverage.

You're a sitting duck right now.

There's no way I'm leaving you.

Take it.

- Don't fall in, too.

- You ready?

- You said it would take a while

for our groups to begin to mesh,

but I'm starting
to see progress.

- Me as well.

- A lot of that's thanks to you.

- Oh, all I try to do is
figure out how to turn

obstacles into opportunities.

- Sounds like something
Lucas would say.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Actually, I think I see
a bit of you in him,

the same calm under
pressure, the same ability

to get along with everyone.

- The same desire to sit
on the Leadership Council?

Mm.

I know what you are doing.

- It's only fair that we
have a voice on the Council.

And I'm only pushing
Lucas because he'd

be good at the job.

- But also you love him,

and love blinds people.

- Not when it comes to this.

Lucas isn't who anyone
expected would lead us.

When he first showed up here,

he wasn't the best
person at all.

But then he made a
decision to change,

to be more than what he was.

- With your help.

- Yeah.

I helped him live what he said.

And then I watched him grow
into a person who everyone

agreed should speak for us.

He's fair, he's
honest, and he wants

what's best for everyone.

That's the kind of person you
should want on your Council.

- It is fascinating
to learn how a person

finds the means to grow.

Thank you for
sharing your story.

- Mm-hmm.

Veronica?

Actually, there is something
else I'd like to discuss.

- Even if you get
that fire started,

the hunting party's two
valleys away by now.

They're not going to see it.

- Stop. You're
making me nervous.

- What do you want
me to do, then?

- I don't know. Just talk
about something else.

- I don't want to talk
about something else.

- Fine.

I'll ask you a question.

How many boar have you killed?

- None.

- I thought you
were a great shot.

- I am.

But maybe I'm scared to miss.

What if I don't hit it,

and that proves my mother right?

I shouldn't be a warrior.

I don't want to live in a
box that anyone makes for me.

- I get it.

I spent a lot of time fighting
against the same thing

back home.

- I'm kind of an outsider, too.

I did have one
person that got me,

but then I lost him.

- Your boyfriend?

- No, my brother.

My twin.

We were completely inseparable.

- What happened to him?

- A few months ago, a
sickness came over the fort.

My brother and my
father passed away.

My brother told
me I was destined

to become a great hunter.

I wanted to come back with
a boar so he could see me,

so he could be proud.

Whenever I doubted myself
or others doubted me,

he would say...

- Screw them?

- Something like that.

That's why I wanted
to hunt a boar today.

That's why I have
something to prove.

- No, we don't
have time for fire.

- ♪ There's a bottle
in the cupboard ♪

♪ Up on the top shelf ♪

- Hey.

I just got your message.

Thank God you found him.

Did you talk to him?

Did you ask if he could
get us on the base?

- Yeah, I tried.
He's not listening.

Maybe you'll have better luck.

- Hey, can I get a
scotch neat, please?

- You're going to try and
bribe me with a drink now, huh?

- No.

This one's for me.

- Nothing you can do is
going to change my mind.

Besides, there's
nothing in my mind

that can help you, anyway.

- What I think this
is really about

is your fear of facing a
painful part of your life.

But I'm done trying
to convince you.

Excuse me. Another
one, please.

You know, you say
you have it bad.

And to be fair, you do.

But for me, being back
here, all it's done

is forced me to relive every
awful mistake I've made.

And what's worse, no matter
how hard I try to fix

those mistakes, I can't.

- What kind of mistakes?

- My ex-wife, she relied heavily

on alcohol and pills.

Over the course of our divorce,
it all started up again.

My life was ending, and I
allowed that to swallow hers.

Tonight, Sophie
will try to fight

her demons at an AA meeting.

It won't work.

She'll walk out into
the parking lot,

drink a fifth of
vodka, get in her car,

and accidentally blindside
a young family's SUV.

The father will
slip into a coma.

- What happens to him?
- I don't know.

He was still in the coma
when I fell in the sinkhole.

What I do know is
that my mistakes have

left a path of destruction.

I broke a good woman's heart,
and it ruined her life.

- You should tell
her what you know.

- Me as the messenger
is the problem.

Maybe when it comes
to you as well.

You're being a coward, Gavin.

I'm trying to get you
back to your family,

but it's never going to
happen if you're sitting here.

All I need to know is,
are you ready to face

your fears or not?

- This should be enough.

- Care to explain why
you're picking mushrooms?

- What I've picked is poison.

Ingest too much, and you'll
slip into cardiac arrest,

but native people
have been using

this fungus for centuries
to open their minds.

- Great. So you
want to get me high.

- I want to expand
your mind and guide

you to the memories you lost.

- I'm a doctor.

I'm going to need more
than a caveman version

of "Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas."

- In my line of
work, I've used it

and other drugs
like it extensively.

- What exactly is
it that you do?

- I'm a PSYOPs officer
in the Air Force.

Essentially, my job is
to manipulate behavior.

I've done it for ill, but
now I want to do it for good.

This will just take a minute.

- Hey, you up for this?

That drug could be dangerous.

- Yeah, it could be.

But, Sam, if this
woman can help me

see something that
will get Eve back,

I got to take that chance.

- It's ready if you are.

- OK, good boy.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What was that for?

- I thought you had a
thing for stable boys.

- Hm.

- You OK?

- I got to tell you something.

- Uh-oh.

That doesn't sound good.

- Ruth is impressed with you.

But she's also
impressed with me.

- OK.

- She offered me
the Council seat.

- Why would she do that?

- I told you, she's
impressed with me.

Is that so hard to believe?

- I mean, no, of course not.

You're amazing.

I'm just wondering why she
chose you out of the blue.

- Look, I know what
this means to you,

but you don't need
to be on the Council

to get everyone's respect.

You already have that.
- OK, I know that.

- So then why can't you
just be happy for me?

- Veronica, I'm sorry.

I am happy for you.

- OK.

- I am.

- We don't need to talk
about this anymore.

Ruth wanted me to meet
the rest of the Council,

so I'll see you later, OK?

- I think it's almost
long enough to reach you.

Hang in there.

We gotta get you out of there.

OK.

Come on. Keep going.

Come on.

Keep going.

- It's a boar!

Get your bow.

- Damn it.

You did it.
- We did it.

- Yeah, we did.

- Mm.

I need a bath.

- A little bit, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- Thank you, Sara, for sharing.

So it's time to wrap up.

But first, I want to
acknowledge something.

Sophie, we haven't seen
you in a few months,

but you're here today.

Care to share anything?

- No.

Not today.
- OK.

- I'd like to say a few words.

Sorry, it's been
a while, but I...

I felt like I had to come today.

Hi.

I'm Gavin, and I'm an alcoholic.

All: Hi, Gavin.

- The last few years, I've
been hiding, not from anyone

out there, but from myself.

I've been hiding
in bars, alleys,

anywhere there's alcohol.

It's just easier than
facing my problems head on.

Liquor makes us believe
the biggest lie we all

have to face in this
room, that we're

broken and can't be fixed.

Recently, somebody
came into my life,

and they said that they could
help get me back on track.

But I didn't believe them.

In fact, when they said the
words that I needed help,

I got angry.

I got scared, and I
did what I always do

when help comes along.

I ran,

ran straight to the bottle.

And that person came back.

And I think if you try and
knock someone down so hard,

but they still come back
and try to help you,

then I think you have to believe

that that person gives a damn.

Everyone in this
room needs someone

who gives a damn...

As none of us can
do it on our own.

- Hey.

Can we talk?

- OK.

- Gavin, you're ready to
access the memories you lost.

But we have to guide
you to the right one.

You told me you got
a message about Eve.

Where did it come from?

- It was a signal, came
through a double aurora.

- Good.

I want you to focus on that.

Picture that aurora.

What else does it trigger?

- Gavin, are you all right?

Gavin?

Help me steady him.

Gavin. Gavin.

Gavin!

Let him rest.

That's what he needs right now.

- OK.

- Hey.

- How's your dad?

- He's asleep.

Sam says he's going to be OK.

What about you?

- Much better now that
I got the tar off.

Really glad you had
that baby powder stuff.

Worked miracles.

Where did you learn that?

- From the internet.

I'll explain later.

- I never got to thank
you for staying with me

and keeping me safe.

- You don't have to.

- I do.

It's really nice to
have someone who cares.

You do feel that way, right?

- I do.

- I thought so.

- Whoa, whoa. Take it easy.

- What happened?

- You scared the hell out of us.

You've been out for hours.

How are you feeling?

- Sam, I feel like
a ten-beer hangover.

- Did it work? You
get back any memories?

- Yeah, I saw something,
a double aurora.

And there was a safe.

I opened it.

- What was inside?

- Um...

There was some
kind of microchip,

and I think I was stealing it.

- But nothing about Eve or where

she could be, how to find her?

- No, no, no, no, no.
It was just a chip.

What do you think that means?

- Maybe whoever sent
that message was never

trying to help us find Eve.

Could be they only
want the information

inside of your head.

- And they just wanted
the microchip all along.

- Look, I...

I think some time in rehab is
what I really need right now.

- You have no idea how
happy that makes me.

Sophie, I am sorry
about everything.

I know we didn't work out,
but I wouldn't be the man

I am today without you.

- I'm sorry I can't do
anything to help you.

I know you don't have much time.

- No, I'm actually hopeful
in that department,

taking something experimental.

But I need you to focus
on your better place.

You deserve love and happiness.

You need to promise me
you'll keep writing.

- Do you really
think it's worth it?

- I do.

- Thank you, Ty.

- Be well, Soph.

- So what did Sophie say?

- I think Gavin's speech made
her see things differently.

- I just said what I felt.

- Well, what I heard made me
think you're ready to take

a step forward, too.

- I am.

If there's a way to
get us onto the base,

I'm going to find it.

- That's the Gavin I know.

- All right.

Let's say we get out of
here and talk next steps.

- Yeah, works for me.

- Let's do it over
a coffee this time.

- Yeah.
