Journeyman (2007–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - The Hanged Man - full transcript

Dan flashes back to 1984 to save teenager Christopher Cupper and his eye-impaired would-be-painter ma Sandra from crashing with their camper into a ravine. Dan's worries about the possible effect of leaving behind a digital camera seem unwarranted, until he discovers his darling son Zac has been replaced by a girl, which his wife wants to keep instead anyhow. He has to deal with the Cuppers in both time zones, guessing Christopher's tech-nerd-friend Dewey Boyd is the key. Meanwhile brother Jack faces his upcoming fatherhood and leans heavily on his FBI contact until he traces a NASA physicist.

Katie...

your vanishing act?

Hard to forget that.

You think you guys can play

You dare to doubt me?

JourneyMan
Season 1 Episode 12
The Hanged Man

you know what I need?

Yes, therapy.

- No,
- I'm not joking around.

I mean, you know, I'm a believer now.

I can see that traveling all the
time could take a mental toll on you.

And who would I go to for therapy, jack?

A specialist?

Maybe you could say you travel all the time and leave the slaughterhouse
- five stuff out...

or not.Whatever.

I need garrity's file.

You said that he might have been
tracking other people like me?

If there's a file, then it might shed
some light on, you know, what's going on.

Okay, well, I'll see what I can
do, but we're talking the fbi.

I mean, they wake up in the morning
and jam a stick up their ass.

Thanks.Nice.

Dude, I need to talk to
you about something else.

It's about theresa.

Hey, can I get you some wine?

Oh, no, thanks.

- It's the tail end of a cold.
- Oh, okay.

So, how is she?

oh, annette's here!

Hey!

What?

- Oh, it's cool.It'll wait.
- What?

Pour me a dirty martini or I may
strangle someone with my bare hands.

Gin, not vodka.

- Coming up.
- Hey, woman!

My god, it's like
hugging a pretzel stick.

Theresa, may I introduce the reason that
I was in therapy at the age of four?

- This is annette.
- It's nice to meet you.

- Pleasure.
- And of course...

- how are you, annette?
- Hello, hugh.I'm fine.

I'm just a little frazzled.

You know, it is getting worse
trying to drive around this town.

Well, the whole city grid was
designed by gold rush drunks.

Hugh, can't your gays work that out?

- My gays?
- Danny.

Annette...

how are you feeling?

I'm stronger, thanks.How are you?

I'm well, considering 36 hours ago I was
peeing into a mud hole outside of chindu,

I'm pretty damn good, thanks.

Inspector.

Annette.

Thank you.

And the girl has a pulse once more.

Shall we move in here?

Hey, dan, do you have the camera?

Uh, no.

So how long you here?

Oh, just a couple of days.

I've got a conference up
in montana this weekend.

Where's my nephew?

Aunt annette!

There he is, my favorite nephew!

- And you can tell your other cousins that I said that.
- Okay.

Hey, want my olive?

Yuck!Tastes like gasoline.

Yeah, well...

oh, damn it.

help you?

Thank god, it's you.

I'm thanking god it's me, too.

Will you help me, please?

Uh, yeah.

Here.

What?

Ha-ha.

Let me ask you something.

If I accidentally left something significant behind
on one of the trips, would that cause problems?

Well, it depends.What'd you lose?

Uh, a digital camera.

Oh, new technology?

Never good to leave behind.

Has anything changed?

Uh, not that I can tell.

Maybe no one found it.

- Going public has its upside,
- maybe.

Of course, but the bad news is senfel systems
now joins other silicon valley companies

that are becoming a popular
target of corporate espionage.

That's why from now on, you must
carry this badge at all times.

And it's not just the private
sector preying on success...

that's her.That's my target.

Also beware of executives from foreign companies
who approach you claiming to be a startup.

They can be fronts for foreign spies.

Okay, then, thank you for your time.

Sandra.

Oh, my god, you're alive!

Hey, christopher, look.Remember this guy?

He saved our lives.

Oh, you got out!

Hey, uh, mom, can we go now?

I'm supposed to meet
some guys at the park.

Honey, did you hear the part
where I said, "he saved our lives"?

- Give me five minutes.
- Okay.

Hey, thanks for saving
our lives and everything.

Mm, no problem.

I'm going back to school.

We're moving to santa cruz.

But relax, I won't be driving.

By the way, what were you
doing in our camper that night?

I was just driving by.

Saw the accident, stopped by to help.

What are you gonna be studying?

Painting.

I don't really fit in here.

Everybody's looking for the next wave; the
miracle chip, the fastest microprocessor.

I guess I'm still a hippie at heart.

What about christopher?

Well, he's kind of aimless now.

Oh, please, start eating.

Where's dan?

Uh, he was called away; a story.

He was?

First time in a month.

Yeah, there's a big drug
bust down at the pier.

I should get going there, actually.

Jack...

couldn't say good-bye?

He didn't want to make a fuss.

- Couscous?
- Oh, yes, please.

- Excellent.
- Theresa?

What kind of medicine do you practice?

I'm an er doctor.

I practice medicine in the er.

That's great.

How long have you two been dating?

Uh...four months.

That's a long time.

So you finally found a woman who doesn't
want to bear your children, huh, jack?

Yeah.

Took awhile.

- Can I have the...?
- Pass the bread down.

The concentration of
photosites are incredibly dense.

Converting and compressing
this much data...

I mean, we have to be talking
about a 32-bit microprocessor,

which is inconceivable
for something this small.

Japanese, of course.

Yeah, it even does 30 seconds of movies.

- I'm dewey.
- Christopher.

Uh, where did you say you got this?

From me.

I think you found my camera.

No, , it's mine.

- I found it.
- Yeah.You found it at the crash site.

Is that true, chris?

I don't want this to be a big deal,

but that is my
camera, and I want it back.

- Chris?
- It's mine, mom.I found it at school.

Did you try to return it, honey?

It fell out of my pocket, all right?

Look.Leave him alone, okay?

If he says it's his, it's his.

Do you really want to get into this?

maybe not.

Thank you.

That's not yours.

Thank you.

You'll have to leave the building.

Hey.

Sorry.I had to step out.

Yeah.Heard you were on a story.

Everything okay?

They put the fire out?

Yeah, they did.

Well, you missed a great dinner.

- Hey.
- You're back.

Sorry I had to leave like that.

Kid in bed?

Yeah.Waiting for you to say good night.

Good night, daddy.

who's this?

- Where's zack?
- Who?

- Zack.
- What's going on, dan?

Where is our son?

What son?

Zack?

Zack?

dan, what's wrong?Are you okay?

I don't know my daughter's name.

What?

You don't know caroline?

Caroline.

That was the name we liked for a girl.

Okay, you're starting to scare me.

I'm way past that.

And I think you're
frightening your daughter.

You have no memory of us having a son?

What?

It's one thing that you
can't take her anywhere alone,

it's one thing that
she's seen you disappear,

but now you say you
don't know who she is?

- She saw me disappear?
- Yes.

You remember everything?

Neal gaines?

Me leaving the 747?

- Yes, yes, yes.
- Dylan mccleen's hijacking money?

Katie...

everything else is the same.

Hey.

- Hi, caroline.
- Hi.

Listen...

I just had a really rough day, you know?

I made you this in school.

It's a butterfly.

Thank you so much.

Um, mommy and I, we just
need a minute to talk, okay?

Yeah?

Okay I need to ask you about
a night eight years ago.

Okay.

It was spring 2000, and it
was, like, our fourth date,

and it was the first time
we went to the giants game,

and it was cold, and we
were under that blanket.

- Do you remember that?
- Yeah.

My hands were trying to keep you warm,

your hands were keeping
me warm, and we both got,

you know, excited,

and we left the game in the seventh inning
'cause we couldn't wait to get home to have sex.

Now, I drove through red lights.

We were kissing while I was driving.

We ran into that apartment and...

we didn't slow down.We just...

- we didn't even make it to the bed.
- No.

- Nine months later, our son was born.
- No.

We went to see the
giants, and you left early.

What?

The paper called you
in because the new, uh...

nanotechs crashed at the register, and
you lost the story you were working on.

Nanotechs?

Your computer at the register.

You went to work, dan.

Caroline was conceived around that
time, but it wasn't after a baseball game.

Okay.

Okay.Uh...

I need to get our life back tomorrow.

What?

Are you done?

Don't you change anything.

Of course not.This is our family.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Morning.

Ah, hey.

Hey.Sleep in?

Oh, tough night.

That annette sure is an original.

Yeah.That's one way of saying it.

So you left to cover a drug heist
story, and there's nothing about it on...

the hennessey trial preview.I
wanted to get a jump on it.

And I have five days with my
sister-in-law so, yeah, I bailed.

Yeah.And left us behind to mop up.

This just came off the wire.

Hennessey's defense team
leaked the deposition.

What am I supposed to do with that?

Uh, read it, download it, I don't
know, but it might help your story.

Uh, sorry.

Thanks.

Whoa.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Caroline okay?

Yeah.Why?

I don't know.Her
father's off his rocker?

He's not.

He's just been through some
stressful things lately.

He always come and go
at night as he pleases?

He's a reporter.

I'm lucky if I get him for
dinner three nights a week.

Okay.

You think he's having an affair.

I think he's a vasser.

I trust him.

- Hugh?
- Yeah?

How long ago did we get the nanotechs?

Seven, eight years ago.Why?

Oh, just curious.

Wow.

What about you?

What about me?

You're standing where a man
was murdered a month ago.

Can't be business as usual for you.

I know someone who could help you.

Help me do what?

Find some perspective.

Get some clarity.

Is that what I need?

You'll see your future roll out in front
of you like a long stretch of desert road.

You'll be able to avoid the potholes.

What is he, a psychic?

Yes, she is.

Hello, mrs.Cupper.

This is dan vasser from
the san francisco register.

I was wondering if I could
talk to you about your late son.

That's too bad.

Please, don't hang up.

I didn't want to play this card, but
I saved your life a long time ago.

You crashed your rv with your son in it.

Yes!Yes.I'm dan.

Yeah, I did get thrown out of the
place where you worked, but listen, I...

I want to help you.

Please?

not bad shooting for a
guy who sang men's chorale.

You think you can beat it?

Aw, you really want me to humiliate
you in front of your buddies?

How's garrity's family?

They were divorced.

He was a loner.

It's sad, really.

Yeah, it is.

- So, listen...
- can't do it, jackie.

Gus...

jack, it's from the top.

All right, listen to me.

My brother was the subject
of an illegal investigation.

I'm the only thing standing between
this bureau and a federal lawsuit.

And don't think he
doesn't have a strong case.

You got a rogue fbi agent
looking for time travelers, gus?

I mean, how's that gonna play in D.C.?

Jack, we're friends.

I'm the one who confirmed
that garrity was rogue.

And this is how you thank me?

By threatening us with a lawsuit?

We just want to know what garrity knew.

He was a nut and it got him killed, man.

If he'd been doing his
job, he'd be alive today.

That's what you should
do, jack.Do your job.

Ten minutes looking at his
files you sit right next to me.

Or we flip the switch.

Thank you, counsel, we'll make
sure thatthat's off the record.

Bye.

- Dan vasser?
- Yeah.

Sandra cupper.

How did you know I was...?

You have a very distinctive voice.

Uh, please sit.

You know, you didn't
have to come down here.

I-I could have come to you.

I don't like people
to know where I live.

Right.

How did you lose your eyesight?

Diabetic retinopathy.

I'm sorry, I know you wanted to paint.

I took bart and three
buses to get here, dan.

You don't have to see to paint.

It's just that particular
dream died with my son.

I'm sorry about christopher.

He just disappeared?

Yes.

He went out one night to meet
a friend and never came back.

Could he have run away?

He would never leave me.

My eyes were going, he...

I understand if you don't
want to talk about it.

I'm sorry, I have a dentist appointment.

What is it you want?

My son bacK.

- You've lost a child?
- Yes.Sorry.

Never mind.

I'm sorry.

Did christopher have any enemies?

No.

But only a few friends.

Someone who worked with
you around that time.

His name was dewey or something.

He worked at senfel right around
the time christopher disappeared.

- Dewey.
- Yeah.

But what does all this
have to do with your son?

Do you think the same person took them?

tell me about dewey.

Christopher used to spend hours hanging around
the office, waiting for me to get off work.

Dewey was young, christopher
looked up to him.

They loved computers.

So what happened to dewey?

I don't know.

Started his own company, I think.

Did quite well.

There.

Let's see.

Oh...beautiful.

Thank your aunt.

- Thank you, aunt annette.
- You are welcome, my dear.

This comes from the finest children's shop in
hong kong, so don't forget to tell all your friends.

Oh, don't give her any ideas, it's
competitive enough out there.

One of the upsides of having a boy.

So go for it.

We were, but I don't think it's
going to happen for awhile.

Why not?

Not a good time.

There's still talk of
layoffs at the paper.

Oh, dan, could get work anywhere.

The internet is where
it's all going, anyway.

Yeah, but dan likes to
get ink on his fingers.

You sure it's not
because he works so much?

Maybe.

Well...?

Then pull the goalie from the net.

Dan does want a boy.

And, lately, I've been
thinking about it, too.

I don't know why.

What's a goalie?

Nice job.

Have you heard of any of these people?

No.

Were there other people
garrity was investigating?

You got two more minutes.

- Can I take this?
- No.

You should really rethink that.

All I really do is read energy.

Okay.

The future is nothing more than many
little bits of the present strung together.

So by reading your energy in the present, we can
get a clearer picture of where you're headed.

The seven of wands.

A time of great opportunity.

This card says you'll
succeed at whatever you do.

You know what, my husband is
actually coming home soon, so...

katie, can't rush this.

It's okay.

You're anxious.

I understand.

This last one is
called a "significator."

This is basically the
essence of the entire reading.

Sorry.

Uh-oh.What?

It's a big card, that's for sure.

Something's falling apart in your world.

A situation under this roof, am I right?

There was an unfortunate event
here about a month ago, yes.

The hanged man is about being suspended.

Your life has been turnedupside down.

You wouldn't be here if it wasn'T.

So I'd call that a lucky guess.

Something very profound
is happening here.

Something bigger than you or any of us.

The challenge is that you have
absolutely no control over it.

So what should I do?

The cards don't predict the future.

They only illuminate.

The answers are always within.

georgina conrad, this is
my brother-in-law, dan.

- Hi.
- You're home.

Oh, my god.

I've never felt anything like it.

So, who is she?

A psychic.

Oh, katie, come on.

You've lost something.

You're looking for something you lost.

It's small, but important.

Something very small that has changed
your world in a very significant way.

You're looking in the wrong place, dan.

It's not where you think it is.

- What isn't?
- You have to find it.

Find what?

Zack.

Honey, stay upstairs.

If you could give me your
birthday that would help.

- July 6, 1972.
- Okay, I think we're done here.

- Katie, come on.
- Annette, get her out of here.

- Okay.
- Katie, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

It's not okay, dan.

I won't do anything to
disrupt your life, all right?

This is scaring me.

Dan.

I saw the file.

All right.

It's lot of names...
diana bloom, neal gaines...

it's got incident reports.

I mean, they wouldn't let
me copy anything down, but...

I made a copy of the picture.

I recognize you, but who's the guy?

Elliot langley.

Who's elliot langley?

A scientist, studies physics.

Do you remember this picture?

No.

But I know who took it.

- Dad?
- Yeah.

You've reached elliot langley.

It's dan vasser.

We've spoken in the past.

Maybe you remember me.

I need your help.

I don't know where
else to turn, dr.Langley.

You seem to have some insight.

I need to get back.

You need to help me get
my son back, dr.Lang...

- leave a message.
- Damn it!

Are you mad?

Yeah.Sorry.

I shouldn't have talked like that.

Do you want to know
what I do when I'm mad?

What?

Sometimes I scream.

And sometimes I think of red licorice.

Red licorice?

See, it works.

Come here.

hey, uh, honey, I need to go now.

Where?

come on, baby.

- Come say good night?
- Yeah, sure.

How bad is it?

Zack's gone.

What do you mean?

I erased my son.

Oh, my god.How?

Wait, the camera?

Yeah, I think so.

I'm sorry.

So there's the boy that had the camera.

Someone killed him for it.

I think maybe the friend
that worked with him.

We get the camera
back, you get your son back.

We can do this.

We have to.

I need to get home, too.

Everything all right?

Henry wants to get married this weekend.

Why?

Because he got drafted into the army.

What are you gonna do?

Marry him.

I hope you're happy, liv.I mean that.

I know you do.

1984.

There.

Say good night.

Good night, auntie
annette and uncle jack.

Good night, sweetie.

Right here.thank you.

Well, I have to get up early
so I'm gonna hit the sack, too.

Okay, I'll lock up.

All right.

- Good night, guys.
- Good night.

- Sleep tight
- good night!

All right.Well, I should hit it.

Oh, come on.

Bar's open.

Yeah, I would, I'm trying to cut back.

Why not?

I never liked you, jack.

For how you treated my sister.

How you talked to her
in public sometimes.

How you said you wanted
kids, and then you didn't, .

but despite all that, I'm
still wondering..

if my sister married the right brother.

She did.

So...

what's the deal with dan?

Is he gambling again?

No.He's not gambling.

Annette, he loves katie.

He's just, he's on the road a lot.

In fact, dan's not even the most
messed-up vasser of the week.

Really?Who is?

- Really?
- Yeah.

Why?

I knocked up my girlfriend.

thank you.

Oh, your life is so over.

It's so strange that you live alone.

Yes.

In four different houses.

Oh...

what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

You got any ideas?

Uh...well, make the decision
that's best for you and...

that will be...

the best for all.

And don't do it tonight.

I gotta bail.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's with you guys?

I came for the camera.

- Sure.
- You got $10, 000?

Is that what dewey's gonna pay you?

I can't afford that.

I got a better offer.

Well, then, fine.I'm done here.

I don't have a choice and you know it.

Look, you're making a big mistake, man.

He's right, christopher.

Hitch your wagon with this guy.

I don't have time.

There's no scenario where he's gonna let
you leave the building with his camera.

She's right.

I need it more than you, chris.

- And I need the money.
- For what?

My mom.

She's diabetic.

She's losing her eyesight.

Why do you think we crashed that night?

She's not gonna be able to keep her job.

She needs health insurance.

Believe it or not, I still need it more.

It's just a camera.

It's not just a camera.

It's advanced technology, and
people would kill to own it.

I mean, why do you think someone's
willing to pay so much money for it?

Look, you're on your own.

You know what your mom would
want more than her eyesight?

Her son.Alive.

Give him back hiscamera, chris.

Come on.

Who do you guys work for?

Chris.

Give it back!

Don't worry, they will.

I have unauthorized
personnel on level four.

What's going on?

They're trying to steal my camera.

Sir, give the boy back his camera.

You're head of security, correct?

- Yes.
- Yet you're working graveyard?

You volunteered for this shift?

Who's gonna buy this?

Another company in the valley
or some foreign government?

What are you talking about?

Is this your buyer, chris, or
just the middleman?

I said, give him back his camera.

Or you'll do what?!

Go ahead.

Call the cops.

You underestimate how seriously
we take corporate espionage.

And you underestimate how
much I want what's mine.

Chris.

You have to come with us.

Chris, is your mother around?

No.

Just wait.

Letthem get outside
away from the cameras.

Wait in my car.

job done.We can go now.

- Yeah.
- Can we ever control it?

No, I haven't yet, but
let me know when you do.

What are you watching?

Uh, some kid I used to know.

He and his partner
invented an occular implant.

Riveting.

Actually, it is, since we're about five years
away from possibly giving sight to the blind.

Thinking about going to tatdich's
for lunch.You want to go?

Uh, no, I'm gonna go home
for lunch today.Thanks.

Okay.

Hey, you hungry?
