Journeyman (2007–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Year of the Rabbit - full transcript

Previously on Journeyman

It's like I'm gonna be late
for a dinner.

I seem to come back to the present

when I finish some chapter in the
lives of people that I'm tracking.

What happens if you're
traveling and you die?

Do you just disappear? Do you
come back? Do you come back dead?

I'm not gonna die.

Why us, Liv? Why?

Why are both of us doing this?

Did he tell you he saw Livia?

Jack, stop.



Do you know what time it is?
My watch took one for the team.

Take mine.

Have you ever seen anyone
that you know... traveling?

No. No, not yet.

Hey. Welcome back.

Jack, we broke up eight years ago.

Yeah, you married my brother, Kate. You can't
shrug it off and carve the christmas turkey.

I didn't leave you for him, and
I'm not the reason Livia died.

You're gonna lose Katie.
Right. You, you know that?

Not without a fight.

I found this in the pocket.

Where is she, Dan?...

To have and to hold
from this day forward,

for better or for
worser, worser...



oh, gee. Oh, worser.

For better or for worse.

For richer or for poorer,
through sickness and health...

I promise to love you unconditionally,

to honor and respect you,
till death do us part.

Then I'll say something...

Oh, boy. Excuse me.

Hello, there.

Hey, father.

We're in the middle of a rehearsal here.

Yes, sorry.

Is that your wrench?

Huh?

yeah. Yes, it is.

You feeling okay to stand?

Yeah.

Perhaps, if you check with the rectory,
they could find some shelter for you.

Ask for father Silva.

Thank you. Thank you, father.

One local
business owner's story.

1939 was the year of the rabbit

and also the year that mr. Wong Yao
opened his traditional card shop.

Now, mr. Wong Yao hopes that the next year of
the rabbit isn't the year he has to close it.

- Beer, please.
- You got it.

I'm Katie Barron in Chinatown.
Back to you, Tina.

Thank you, Katie. It looks
like a great day in Chinatown.

TUESDAY NOV 8, 1994

Thanks.

William?

Sorry?

Never mind. I'm supposed
to meet somebody.

Oh, no problem.

You fit the description of
the man I'm supposed to meet.

Blond, good-looking, great shape.

I thought you were him.

Okay.

The wedding ring should
have been the giveaway.

Yeah, well, um... extremely married.

Any advice on how to make that happen?

Be incredibly lucky and
meet the right person.

You're a big help.

actually, I just broke up with
someone who I thought was the right person.

Why am I telling you all this?

I don't know.

But I'm interested. So, what?
You waiting on A... blind date?

Yes. Oh, I know.

I met him on the world wide web.

Wow.

Oh, I seem desperate.

- No, no, not at all.
- I should go.

No, no... wait.

You should stay a little.
Maybe he's the one.

Spoken like a guy who hasn't
been dating for a while.

Spoken like a guy who believes
life's full of surprises.

- what are you doing?
- Greg?

We just break up and
you're out cruising bars?

I'm not cruising... what are
you doing following me around?

It's two years, melissa. Why
would you throw that away?

We can't keep having this discussion.

- Hey, hey, a little space.
- Who the hell are you?

Not important. Take a walk.
That's not a good idea.

Stop! Hey!

Get out of here.

Both of you.

Hi. I'm william.

Oh, hi. Uh, melissa.

Sorry.

it's okay.

Comes with the territory.

Who's he?

Some guy.

hey.

I don't think you finished
fixing the upstairs bath.

JOURNEYMAN
Season 01 Episode 04

we should
have hired a plumber.

I was trying to save some money.

This is not what I need, not right now.

When is the right time
for a water pipe to break?

You know what I mean.

- Yeah, the
fund-raiser. - Yeah.

So, what do you want me to do?

Well, for starters, you could
try not to fix anything.

Is there anything that I can say
that's not going to piss you off?

Probably not.

I didn't see her this time, Katie.

Who didn't you see, dad?

Hey, honey, don't come
in here right now, okay?

I'll be up in a minute, all right?

I know that you're upset about
me seeing livia back there, Katie, but...

dan, I have 300 people coming to a
black-tie fund-raiser that I'm chairing,

and a string quartet that just
bumped us for the mayor's birthday,

32 more returned invitations
due to insufficient postage.

You and livia meeting in the ether
is not what's bothering me right now.

I'm sorry. I'm just...

it's fine. Forget it.

- This event... it's my super bowl.
- I know.

It's been three months
of my life, you know?

It's going to be
spectacular, Katie. I know it.

I want you there, dan. I need you there.

You can count on it.

But you can't guarantee it.

I'll be there.

Katie.

I'll be there.

dan vasser.

Hey, matt, how you doing?

Copacetic.

I need a favor.

Are you looking for more mathematical
formulas to help you count cards?

I never counted cards.

Maybe that's why you never won.

I had my good days.
Uh, I'm doing some research.

- On what?
- Tachyons.

Tachyons?

Particles that travel faster
than the speed of light.

I'm the, uh, science editor, dan.
I know what tachyons are.

I need to talk to an expert.

Is this cosmic phenomena
or hard science?

I'd say it
falls under cosmic phenomena.

Elliot langley out at livermore.

- But I'd have to talk to him first.
- Appreciate it.

You sure this isn't a
story for this section?

Positive. Thank you.

Waiting for someone?

Not anymore.

How's it going?

Well, I met a woman here
waiting for a blind date in '94

and a guy who's named william.

I don't see either of them.

so, what year is it?

1997. Wine?

I'm working.

So am I.

So, did you always have a thing for her?

- Who?
- Katie.

Was it all there and I
just never put it together?

Why am I answering all your
questions when you never answer mine?

'Cause you're a guy, and you can't
resist talking about yourself.

Katie was with my brother
then. I was with you.

I was totally with you.

- You don't even seem like Katie's type.
- What's her type?

I don't know. Jack's a cop.

Edgy, commitment-phobic, a bad boy.

You're...

I'm a recovering gambling addict who
travels through time. I got some edge.

You're jealous.

Of course I am. Wouldn't you be?

How is she? Katie.

Dealing.

Does she believe you?

She's about 85% there.

I think if I tell her that I see
you, though, her head might explode.

You haven't told her?

I said I ran into you once.

And if she knows we hang out
more, she might have a problem?

Yes.

I wouldn't want that. I liked Katie.

- I've got to go.
- Why?

I know him.

Hey, look out!

Excuse me, uh... you live here?

Yeah, sort of.

I'm looking for this address.

Oh, that's on Sandra, two blocks up.

Thanks.

William?

Yeah.

I was beginning to give up on you.

All right, this is it.

It's a good piece...
small, conceals nicely.

Uh, how-how much?

Five hundred.

Come on, man. Take it or leave it.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- How you doing?
- Good.

- You look great.
- Thanks. It looks amazing.

- Thank you. I'll see you in a bit?
- See you.

- Melissa...
- I know you.

- I met you at Luna once.
- Right.

You were waiting on a blind date?

Didn't my ex beat you up?

I don't... remember it quite that way.

Well, if you hadn't been there, I
might not have met william.

The guy you just...

Yes, he's my fiance now.

I don't remember your name.

- Dan.
- Right.

So this is your business.

Ours. Uh, William
created this technology.

It lets people trade
stocks online from home.

Very next-millennium.

Let's hope so, I sunk
most of my money into it.

Which I was very happy to do.

Did I say it like I meant it?

Uh, sort of.

Well... good luck.

Thanks.

Do you have a business card?

Yeah, um...

Thanks.

I know that something
is not my business.

There's something I
think you should know.

I just saw your fiance buy a
gun from a guy in a the street.

What?

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...

He bought that for me, for protection.

He hates the neighborhood I live in.

Okay, I'm sorry. I, I...
I got the wrong idea.

I have to go.

May I help you?

Do what?

You're following Melissa.
You want this to get ugly?

You haven't seen ugly.

- Who are you?
- Not important.

Who the hell are you?

She's over you.

Well, I'm working...

The way I see it, you look a lot
more like a stalker than I do.

- Vasser.
- Dan Vasser?

Yeah.

This is Elliot Langley. Matt Tarbell
said you wanted to talk to me?

Yes, thank you for calling me back.

You're interested in
tachyons, I understand.

Yes, I am, among... other things.

May I ask why?

It's for a story... funding cutbacks
at Stanford in the physics department.

I thought you covered the metro beat,

Board of sups, bank
robberies and what not.

Glad to know somebody out
there's paying attention.

Well, I've been a subscriber of
the register going on 40 years now.

I even remember another
Vasser who worked there.

You knew my father?

Frank and I go back a long, long way.

We met when I was with NASA.

All right, listen, could we arrange
a time for us to get together?

I could come out there to Livermore.

I think you'd have
some clearance issues.

Right.

Tachyons... are you sure you're
not trying to build a time machine?

Well, you got me.

Let me look at my schedule, and
I'll get back to you.

Great. Could I just get your...

- Hey.
- Hey.

You got home late last night.

Yeah, I had a lot of stuff
to catch up on at work.

Did you go back there again?

Yeah.

What's going on?

Uh, lover's quarrel... the boring stuff.

Did you see Livia?

Yes, in fact, I did.

Do you talk to her... when you're there?

I have.

So you can... interact?
You can have conversations?

Yes.

And does she know
you're from the future?

Katie, it's more complicated than that...

Hey!

Hey.

Uh, the centerpieces.

The museum won't take them till later.

And why are you bringing them here?

Because I live in an apartment.

Right. Okay. I guess we'll talk later?

Okay, guys...

Hey, this is Jack. Leave a message.

Geez, Jack, for someone who's
paid to protect and serve,

you're making yourself pretty scare.
I need to talk to you. It's important.

Call me as soon as you can, all right?

Sorry I'm late.

That's okay.

- Important police work.
- Really?

Yeah, I had a...

a big shoot-out, hostage
thing in the haight.

I, uh, I had to take a guy
out with a single shot.

- Seriously?
- No.

I got stopped for speeding.

You couldn't get out of it?

Well, now, i didn't say that. I actually, uh, I
went to that guy's bachelor party,

and I've been holding on to
those pictures for two years, so...

I'm not taking that.

Sorry, I'm just a little...

I know this may surprise you, but
I haven't, uh, dated in a while.

That'S... funny.

Really? You don't believe
I haven't dated in a while?

No, that you think that
this is first date.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Okay. Touche, very nice. Well...

by the way, it's only going to
get better from here. Okay. Right?

Geez, my brother keeps calling me.

Maybe it's important.

I should probably just take this
'cause he's going through some...

Ah, family.

Don't worry, I'm the normal one.

Yeah, I dated a cop before.

You're like five pounds of
trout on a two-pound line.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Hey, it's me. What can you
tell me about a cop named Greg Weil?

This is why you're calling me?

I am having lunch with
a beautiful doctor.

Haven't you guys beaten Greg up enough?

Listen, it was before my time.

Well, he was on his way up until he got
indicted for killing his ex-girlfriend.

Did he do it?

Well, no evidence that he
did; the charges were dropped.

I lost track of the guy. Last I
heard, he was walking the mission.

So what was the feeling
of the department?

Oh, bit of a temper. I liked him.

It's a cold case? Can you check for me?

Did you not hear the part where I said
I'm having lunch with a beautiful doctor?

- I got to go.
- No. I got to go.

I'll call you later.

All right, I'll be right there.

- What's up?
- Ah, sorry.

Um... a van overturned on 280.

We've got multiple victims en route.

Okay. Well, I think
this went really well.

Not really.

Okay.

You owe me a first date.

It's coming. I just need
to rework the lead, all right?

What do you know about tachyons?

They're particles that
travel faster than...

I don't care about tachyons, Dan.

We have a science editor and
reporters who cover all that stuff.

- I know.
- You know what I care about?

You care about you.

Crime, Dan. I care about crime.

Blue-collar, white-collar,
embezzlement, murder.

They kill it; you write it; I run it.

I'm sending you the top for the double
homicide in the mission right now,

and the b-matter in 30. You happy?

Getting there. Tachyons
on the back burner.

Fine.

No, sweetie. They can
just go through the kitchen.

I told the caterer that yesterday.

I did... Tammy, listen to me.

This is not your problem, okay?
You just have him call me.

We already spoke about this.

He may not remember, but, you know...

Yeah, there's a back
door right through the...

just, you know what? Have
him call me, all right?

I'm going to see you in a
little while. Okay. Thanks. Bye.

Okay.

- Help.
- Yeah, sure.

- There.
- Thanks.

You look... wow.

I feel like I'm
missing something, some detail.

I know you. You don't miss a thing.

Okay.

You want some help with that?

Please.

Look, this morning, about Livia...

not tonight.

You know damn well how to tie a bow tie.

Three summers at Wilkes bashford.

Sitter.

I hate her right now.

Make yourself look pretty
so we can get going.

Hey, babe, you want
to take my car or yours?

Hello?

It's Jack.

- What's going on?
- Hi.

Nothing.

Is Dan there?

No.

Are you okay?

Katie?

Livia?

Sure, why not?

Sorry.

Hey, do you have the year?

- 1998.
- Thanks.

Hey. I got it. Thanks.

Hey, little dude. You're
supposed to ask who it is.

- It's you, uncle Jack.
- I know you.

All right, fair enough. Where's your mom?

- Whoa.
- Hi.

Honey, go on upstairs. Lauren's
got monopoly set up, okay.

You look very pretty, mommy.

Why, thank you.

The little guy knows
what he's talking about.

What are you doing here, Jack?

Well, I know panic when I hear it.

Yeah, it was that obvious?

- Do you wanna tell me what's up?
- Uh, what's up? what's up?

Well, I'm supposed to be at
the museum a half hour ago.

Dan. I have no idea where Dan is.

My keys, I don't know
where my keys are...

Okay, okay. Slow down. Just
slow down. Relax.

Take a breath.

Forget about your keys.

I can't ask you to do this.

You didn't ask me. I'm offering.

Did dan say where he went?

Emergency. At work.

Thought I always put my job first.

We keep dragging you into our problems.

Katie, there's not a guy alive
who could see you in that dress

and feel dragged into anything.

I don't think there's
time for you to change.

I think there is.

Why would you change the locks?

Come on. Just let me in.

I just wanna talk to
you for five minutes.

I'm not going to the cops, William.

Good.

What do you want, william? I
really have to go.

I just wanna explain.

Well, most of the money is gone.

It's, it's not gone.

It-it-it's, it's
elsewhere. It's invested.

Okay. What do we tell our friends?

My parents?

We tell them that they'll
get their money back.

I just need that disk.

No, William. I'm keeping it, okay.

I need every account
statement, every balance sheet.

I need to figure out
exactly where we stand.

You have no idea how to be
happy, and you never will.

Just give me the disk now.

You are making me do
things I don't want to do.

- where did you come from?
- Let's get out of here.

Oh, my god...!

That's guy's got a gun, man.

He's holding a gun!

There's a man here with a gun.

Port street, near nordhoff. He
just got into a cab.

I figured it out.

What?

You're writing a book.

- Right?
- Oh, god. Not a novel.

Well, with all the, uh,
downsizing of newspapers,

you gotta keep the other knives
sharp, you know what I mean?

You okay? You look...

- clammy.
- I'm good.

- Excuse me.
- All right.

Let's pull the sheets off.

How long till dinner?

All right, ten minutes.
We have to kill ten minutes.

Let's people to dance so
they'll forget they're hungry.

- Hey, thanks a lot.
- HeY.

Hi.

Looks amazing.

You're amazing.

- I see that jack's here.
- You're sweating.

Dan, is that blood?

So...

Was Jack invited or...?

He was nice enough to escort me and

I really don't think you should
be giving me the third degree.

You look like you've been in a fight.

Yeah, well, about nine years ago.

- Come on. Let's dance.
- I don't feel like dancing.

You want people to forget
that they're hungry, right?

Dan, what's going on?

- Everything's fine. Don't worry.
- Really?

You don't look like you're fine.
You look like you're hurt.

I'm okay.

Can you get help back there?

Can I help you back there?

No.

So...

you can talk to Livia,
but you can't talk to me?

Correct.

Livia knows what you do?

Livia does what I do.

- She's a...
- Yeah

- So you see her...
- All the time.

- I have to go.
- Hey, hey.

This changes nothing, all right?

Listen to me.

I love you.

- What is that?
- What?

In your pocket and I'm not
in the mood for a punchline.

Don't worry. It's...

- Dan.
- Shh.

Is that...

- a gun?
- It's not mine.

- I'm not keeping it.
- You're scaring me.

- Let's get a drink...
- No.

No, I have to get back to work.

It's a nice little
soiree, Katie. You did good.

Thanks.

Uh-oh.

It's okay.

- Talk to me.
- It's all right.

- What happened?
- No, I really can't get into this right now.

- I have to get back in...
- Katie, you're shaking.

I'm cold.

- Katie...
- Jack, please. Drop it.

Look, I make my living
interrogating people.

You're not getting
off that easy. Come on.

He's carrying...

what?

Katie, the caterer's looking for you.

Nothing. I gotta go.

Melissa Johnson Utrademart

Melissa Waters Johnson
Held In Murder Of Husband

- Okay, you're done.
- Actually, I am far...

I am done.

- How ya doing?
- I'm good.

Thanks for escorting my wife.

Oh, the pleasure was mine.

I have no doubt.

You know, I'm not trying to
break you and Katie up, Dan.

You're doing fine by yourself.

Where you been? What are you hiding?

You don't need to worry about that, Jack.

- Katie's scared to death.
- Well, she doesn't need to be.

- What is it?
- You're the cop, Jack.

Why don't you search me?

You never make it easy for
me, do you, little brother?

Why start now?

- We used to get along better.
- We were like brothers.

What happened?

I don't know.There was
something about a girl. I forget.

- Yes?
- Give us a minute!

Why is the door locked?

- Give us a minute.
- Vasser, what's up?

It's Burke from the
1-5. I'm working security.

Hi. Um...

I got like a family
thing going on in here.

It's no big deal.

Look, there's a couple of officers
from the presidio here looking around.

Got a report about some guy in a tuxedo
waving a gun around in the street.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Maybe it was a pissed-off maitre d'.

Dan.

Dan?

Hi, we're not here right
now. Please leave a message.

Melissa, listen to me.

William is coming back for you.

You need to get out of town.

This is going to sound nuts, but
don't do anything stupid.

You're not going to get away with it.

In Chinatown, I'm Katie Barron.

Sorry, guys, one more
time. That wasn't a good one.

- Katie?
- Liv.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hey! What's going on?

What are you doing here?

Wow, this is a new look. What's that?

Trying some stuff. Bad idea?

No, I like it, it's good.

It's just, you know, you seem more mature.

Oh, then I'm...

I'm definitely not wearing this again.

- How's Dan?
- Uh, why do you ask?

I don't know, being polite?

Uh, sorry. Yeah, he's great. Thank you.

Thank you. How's jack?

Oh, you know, we're going
through some stuff.

We've been together for four years,

and we haven't taken
it to the next level.

- Ah, those Vasser boys.
- Yeah.

Not the quickest movers.

Thanks for covering me back there.

You're looking very cary grant.

Yeah, well, I'm mia big
time. I got to get back.

Get me up to speed.

Well, I prevented a husband
from killing the wife,

but now the wife has killed the husband.

So I'm back here on the same night.

Where does the second murder take place?

Probably at her apartment.

But I have no idea where
that is. And check this out.

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

It's the murder weapon. Or
at least it was going to be.

I need to get rid of it, just in case.

No. You might need it.

Great, so...

what is the deal with
killing people back here?

You do what you have to do.

In the present, you abide by the law.

In the past, it's the wild, wild west.

- Anything goes.
- You be the judge.

I'm not at all
comfortable with that, Liv.

You will be.

- Melissa?
- Dan Vasser?

- Yes.
- Elliot Langley.

Elliot, I'm really sorry, but this
is a bad time. Can I call you...?

Hello?

Elliot Langley from Livermore labs?

Yes.

I just talked to you back in...

I'm having trouble hearing
you. I'll call you back later.

No, no, wait.

- Greg Weil?
- Yeah?

I met you a couple times.

We locked up a couple of times.

Listen to me, Melissa's
in serious trouble.

Then call the police.

You are the police.

I'm not the Melissa police.

- I'm past all that.
- Fine.

Then you can read about
yourself in the paper tomorrow.

"Woman shot and killed
despite warning the police.

"Officer Greg Weil
was connected to the victim.

Internal affairs will
conduct the investigation."

Who are you?

Her husband tried to kill her tonight, and
I think he's going to try it again.

- Now, do you know where she lives?
- Yeah.

- But she's not there.
- You're still following her?

I drive by her house on the way to work.

She wasn't there half an hour ago.

Where is she?

It's sunday... probably work.

Stay out here.

- Stay away from me!
- I said give it to me!

What are you doing? Stop!

Put the gun down, Melissa.

I came back for the computer
disk, and he was still here.

Listen to what he says, Melissa.

He was going to kill me.

He tried to kill me earlier.

- You saw it, right?
- Yeah.

- I can't be a witness.
- What?

- I'm sorry, I wish could.
- Just put the gun down, honey.

We can figure this out.

Greg, I'm so sorry.

It never should have come to this.

No one is going to believe
it was self-defense.

Yes, they will.

- What are you doing? Drop it.
- Easy.

It's the gun William used
on her earlier tonight.

You're planting evidence.
Get it out of there.

I'm planting a fact.

Otherwise, she's going to
spend 20 years in prison.

Neither of you deserve that.

you okay?

You can go home if you want.

The cops got a call about some guy
in a tux waving a gun in the marina.

It's San Francisco, Jack.
Why does that strike you as strange?

- You always got his back.
- And you had my back tonight. Thanks.

You saved me.

You can't keep going on like this, Kate.

It's complicated, Jack.

It's complicated and
messy and sticky and...

I don't believe it.

This is just to torture us, right?

- Ned and Cathy's wedding.
- Oh, yeah.

You were the hottest
brides maid I'd ever seen.

And you...

You made that sweet
toast, slightly drunk.

I was hooked.

You know, some songs take me to a place.

I actually feel like I go there.

I know what you mean.

Too bad you can't go back.
It would be cool.

Yeah.

Dancing would be...?

- A bad idea.
- Yeah, right.

Just had to ask.

I wanted you to.

I'm going to go.

Katie?

Don't you have to clean up?

There's a clean-up committee.
I can't find my ticket.

- I'm sorry about tonight.
- I just want to go home.

Excuse me. Can we go back there?

Thanks.

Um, so, what color is it?

Black.

That helps.

And green.

You know, when I was
back there, I saw you.

Really?

- When?
- '98.

- Perky period.
- Yeah,

you were a perky reporter.

Does Livia know about us?

Yes.

She must have been a little surprised.

She was caught off guard.

- Is this it?
- Yeah.

I haven't seen you in
a tux since our wedding.

No way.

Remember we tried to write our own vows?

Yeah.

They turned out lame, so
we decided to wing it.

We did wing it.

- And survived.
- Yeah.

It just come survived worse than that.

I somehow doubt that.

You're probably right.

It doesn't fix anything.

I know.
