03x06 - The Road Home, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Every day since we 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've found a new purpose down here,

an amazing woman, Paara.

Now I'm terrified I'm not

gonna find my way back to her.

Lucas, I'm pregnant.

I lost the best thing in my life.

Since then, I guess I've

just given up on everyone.

We were attacked by a raptor.

I have to go.

I can't lose her too!

You think the Aurora sent him to '65?

Yeah.

I'm taking back what's mine.

Maya Schmidt is the head

of the Reisander Group.

The air force contracted

her to create fighter planes

with time-travel capability.

That microchip contains all

the code to make it possible.

Get this to the lab immediately.

We have to stop her.

We have to get to that base.

The location's just ahead.

It's where they're holding Eve.

A detention center is

supposed to be here.

I see Aurora to '65.

Maya has a full operation in 1965.

That's where you'll find Eve.

And Josh and Riley.

Then that's where we've gotta go.

I'm not gonna stop until

I get my family back.

Third date.

Second date was food poisoning.

Right.

And the third date, we

said we were gonna come back

Dad, you okay?

[SNIFFLES] Yeah, just, um,

thinking about your mom.

Well, we're one step

closer to finding Eve.

Okay.

Probably 18-year-old, dark hair.

So assuming we don't get arrested

for grand theft auto, what's the plan?

We're headed to an

industrial park in Pasadena.

It's one of Reisander's

bases of operation.

It's got their long-term

detention center.

That's where Eve is.

That's right.

But they also have a building

filled with computer servers.

Why do you care about that?

Because that's where all their research

about the microchip is stored.

We have to destroy it.

With what?

With an electromagnetic pulse expl*sive.

- This is a stripped-down EMP.

- [BEEPING]

We're gonna attach it to

their power transformer

and fry everything they got.

Okay. Piece of cake, right?

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

Yes.

Hey.

I called the local hospitals,

looking for a 19-year-old

Jane Doe with abdominal trauma.

I think I found Riley at Cedars.

- Well, that's great news.

- Yeah, Josh could be with her.

- We have to go get them.

- No, wait.

We have to divide and conquer.

You've seen it yourselves.

These Auroras, they can wink

out in a moment's notice.

The one we came through

will only last three,

four hours max.

Take the Cadillac.

- Yeah.

- We'll get another car.

I know it's a long shot, but hopefully,

I don't see how we just

leave without everyone else.

Don't worry. We'll find him.

I'm gonna take a look. Still tender?

Pretty bad.

What is it?

Tell me.

X-rays don't often catch it.

you could have a torn diaphragm

you to a modern hospital.

failed the family.
